Welcome to EpoS Wizard!
Hi
I have just purchased 3 of the above units.
I have all the manuals but the machines have been reset so it looks as though I have to programme everything from scratch. Is there an ordered structure to how this is done as I am hitting a blank following the instructions.
My second point is that doing this via PC must be so much quicker. I understand Uniwell had PML 2000 which has been replaced by Tensai 2000. Both apparently would allow me to programme from scratch - is this correct? Unwell are very unhelpful.
Does any one have a copy I could have or buy?
Many thanks
Well I now have the PML 2000 software
and various cables to connect direct to the PC
Next problem is PC XP driver compatibility, or in fact the lack of them.
For the ECR serial port to connect to the PC USB I have used 2 cables, the problem is the PC does not recognise the ECR and is asking for a (USB-Serial Controller) driver. I've tried searching but to no avail. Can anyone help by providing one or a link to one?
Many thanks
Hi,
The subject of USB to Serial converters has been covered quite extensively in this and other posts.
The quickest way, is to buy a converter with the drivers CD included with it, as there a quite a large number of different types of chipsets' out there that are in use. (Not all work as intended).
Another less stressful way, sometimes cheaper, is to get an old unit from somewhere, Ebay etc, with a proper serial connector on it and forget about the hassles of converters.
At work we use the older laptops which have proper serial DB9 ports on them for this very reason. (Ain't broke, don't fix it, works OK = less time mucking around = less money wasted).
The HP nc8000 & HP nx6120 & Clevo 400 are just some of which we use with XP, as you don't need the latest i7 to run PLM.
Kind Regards

Hi,
The best way to program a PX6700 in PLM, what a can of worms.
Planning, And doing it in an ordered structure. Figure out what you want where.
Best done with a copy of the keyboard layout, that way you can write on it where you want to put your PLU's, try to group similar items, easier for your staff.
The best way is to group your PLU's that you have created within PLM into blocks, with enough space between these blocks to add more related PLU's.
Example would be:
plu1 * Breakfast* (Heading for Quick Reference)
plu2 to plu100 :- all breakfast
plu101 * Lunch*** (Heading for Quick Reference)
plu102 to 200 : all lunch
ETC....
The PLU's would then be assigned into a group, These groups would then be assigned a Major group. (If you don't assign a PLU to a group, it will not sell).
That's the really really simplified version.
PLM has an extensive help area with regards to system flags, options etc.
Kind Regards
Paul
