Point of sale hardware for testing
This is a bit off topic but I need to test some receipt printers for my app, specifically Epson TM-T88 series. Rather than buy one (they are around $500) does anyone know somewhere that sells second hand POS hardware. On eBay they seem to come with a lot of missing power supplies and I have to wait for auctions. This is one that looks ok in Brisbane which I will probably buy if I can't find one in Melbourne. Alternatively, does anyone have one I could borrow for a few days in Melbourne area. Regards Craig
Re: Point of sale hardware for testing
Craig, In these situations, we normally borrow one from a relevant party. Eg the customer, the manufacturer or a reseller. Manufacturers and resellers usually have hardware reserved for this purpose. Just ask. We've always found them happy to help. David If we can hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards... checkmate! -Zapp Brannigan, Futurama On 9 January 2014 09:00, Craig van Nieuwkerk crai...@gmail.com wrote: This is a bit off topic but I need to test some receipt printers for my app, specifically Epson TM-T88 series.

Thanks, I might try that. The users are in the UK but I might try and contact Epson locally. I did try and contact a coupler of hardware resellers but that basically said no.

I've also done a fair bit of development with these devices (including callbacks running low on paper, top-part-thing is open etc. They are a solid printer and I'd recommend them. PM me details if you are still looking. Cheers, -- Les Hughes l...@datarev.com.au
