1) typically the jdk stuff is installed to the /opt/Epson......
There should be an uninstall folder in there, with a script to get it off of
your box.
2) On the clean install**
Run the installation
Install everything (which I think is included in the "typical" package...
You can select custom and check just to be safe.
It will ask you if you have an existing jpos.xml. Say yes, and select it by
browsing to your /ofbizROOT/specialpurpose/pos/config/jpos.xml
The installation will finish.
if you have a manually copy and pasted entry in your jpos.xml for the
TM-T88IV, now is a good time to remove that entry.
enter the /opt/EpsonADK/SetupPOS directory and run the ./SetupPOS command
When SetupPOS starts, you should notice that it only recognizes one device
in the jpos.xml (thats because the rest are just generic and non Epson)
Add a device, select the POS printer you need (TM-T88IV) and save the file.
enter the Healthcheck directory. Copy your javax.comm.properties file over
to the directory.
*****A small important note here. I've been told time and time again that if
I'm planning on using RXTX that you need to modify that file to use it. I
tried it and RXTX kept blowing up on me. I don't know if SUN changed the
way that their COMM.java works, but I left the file as is, using the default
driver and it worked.**** Take this for what you will though, I've heard
mixed results.
Run the script, load your printer (it should look for your jpos.xml) and hit
test. You should get a small slip (please make sure your printer is on! :P
) printed to tell you it worked.
If it doesn't.... Before posting any errors, I would step back once more and
try to get the blackbox application that comes with RXTX (or was it the
javacomm API???) to work. just search for BlackBox, you'll find it. If you
get it to work, that will prove that the serial interface is working and it
will continually print garble to the printer if it's working.
Let me know if you can get this far... and we'll continue!
Thanks
