Welcome to EpoS Wizard!
Dear all,
I have my XE-A212 working perfect in my coffee shop, I just would like to know how to communicate with it via the RS232. Can I use a null modem cable connect the A212 with my PC, and then run a terminal (e.g. hyper terminal)???
If I can do that, where can I find the command I could use over the terminal session.
If it not just using the terminal, so how XE-A212 communication port work? or How to write a program running on my PC to communicate with it?
Hi,
Unforunately you can't use anything like hyper terminal to connect to the till. The sharp XE-A212 has it's own programming software and this is the cable needed:
I've Private Messaged you with some information on this software.
Cheers
Dear the wizard,
Thanks so much for info on the software and cable diagram.
I think the software you mention is for program the cash register. Acctually I would like some way that I can get the sale report while I'm not in the shop.
for exapmle I can hookup a modem to the cash register and a phone line and then while I'm on the road I just use my laptop dial to the modem in my shop, that connected to the cash register, and use sonething like terminal to type something like .TL and then I get the sale report on my screen just like the way it print out the report on the paper roll.
In theroy the PC-LINK XE-A212 Program should work over a phone line as it work with a null modem cable.
If you have any idea or some other way to establish that I would be appreciate.
Hi,
This software is only for programming the cash register as you said, unfortunately there is no other software that I know of which enables you to collect the sales. I'll ask around but there is definately no way to use commands through hyper terminal or similar.
cheers
Hi Ting,
I think Wizard is correct. This model is designed for basic programming and reporting via RS232. I have not been able to get any more than that with any software that I have used with these. You would need to move up to a more powerful machine such as the UP-700.
