Title: Message

Thanks Oma   I was able to find many sources for cash drawers by searching the internet.  I was hoping to tap the experience of other RBASE developers to narrow down the field to a few that are known to work well with RBASE.  What models they (other developers) have found to be reliable and a recommendation as to where to buy them.  There haven’t been a lot of responses to my request so I suspect that not many developers have written apps. that use cash drawers.  Or maybe it is because I asked the question on the weekend.   The one place that I contacted said that they do not provide a driver for their cash drawers with the USB interface.  I would have to write my own.  I don’t want to use RS232 because a lot of PC no longer have serial ports.   Another question…  Is there a way to communicate directly to a USB port via RBASE 7.5?   John From: rbg7-l@rbase.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Oma Cox Sent: Monday, May 23, 2005 12:08 AM To: RBG7-L Mailing List Subject: [RBG7-L] - Re: Cash drawers   John,   http://www.globaltradersdirect.com/mall/POS%20Cash%20Drawer/index.asp   http://www.register5.com/register5/pos.html   http://www.mscashdrawer.com/home.php   http://pos-savings.com/LogicControls.htm   Here are four sites that will have many selections of mfg and types.   Interfaces used range rs232,parallel,epson,star, BNC, RJ11 or RJ12   Hope this helps!   6 minute search and review using google!     Best regards, Oma Cox -----Original Message----- From: rbg7-l@rbase.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Engwer Sent: Sunday, May 22, 2005 6:06 PM To: RBG7-L Mailing List Subject: [RBG7-L] - Re: Cash drawers Thanks Bernie   I am mostly interested in drawers that work stand alone rather than attached to a receipt printer.   John   John Engwer 412 751-2433   From: rbg7-l@rbase.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bernard Lis Sent: Saturday, May 21, 2005 4:10 PM To: RBG7-L Mailing List Subject: [RBG7-L] - Re: Cash drawers   John, Yes, one of my customers is using cash drawers in their stores with R:Base.  They are also using a receipt printer connected to the cash drawer.  When the receipt prints, Kachhhnng and the drawer opens. This being Saturday, I can't get you the names or models. I will send an email to my customer and hopefully get you an answer on Monday.   Bernie Lis ----- Original Message ----- From: John Engwer To: RBG7-L Mailing List Sent: Saturday, May 21, 2005 3:05 PM Subject: [RBG7-L] - Cash drawers   Is anyone using cash drawers with RBASE?   If so, what model are you using?  What interface are you using?
