How to configure the JposEntry for Epson's cash drawer for POS?

[Chatree Srichart]

Hi community,

I have a problem concerning to configuring the Epson's cash drawer for POS.
I use an Epson TM-U220B printer. I can configure jpos.xml file for that
because there is a example configuration for Epson TM-T88III printer in the
jpos.xml. Unfortunately, there is not an example configuration for cash
drawer. Could you please tell me how to configure the JposEntry in the
jpos.xml file for a cash drawer?

My cash drawer is not an Epson's model but it work fine when I test with the
SetupPOS program of Epson.

This is my JposEntry for the Epson TM-U220B printer:

<JposEntry logicalName="TM-T88III">

Ops... Sorry, I put wrong JposEntry. That is example for TM-T88III.

This for TM-U220B  :

I have tried to create a new JposEntry for Epson cash drawer without
property like this:

<JposEntry logicalName="CD-100M">
        <creation
factoryClass="jp.co.epson.jpos182.util.EpsonJposServiceInstanceFactory"
serviceClass="jp.co.epson.jpos182.drw.CashDrawerService"/>
        <vendor name="SEIKO EPSON" url="http://www.epson.co.jp"/>
        <jpos category="CashDrawer" version="1.11.1"/>
        <product description="Printer controlled Cash Drawer" name="CD-100M"
url="http://www.epson.co.jp"/>
    </JposEntry>

But I got error like this:

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
        at java.lang.String.lastIndexOf(Unknown Source)
        at java.lang.String.lastIndexOf(Unknown Source)
        at jp.co.epson.jpos182.drw.CashDrawerService.readJSD(CashDrawerS
        at jp.co.epson.jpos182.drw.CashDrawerService.open(CashDrawerServ
        at jpos.BaseJposControl.open(Unknown Source)
        at org.ofbiz.pos.device.GenericDevice.open(GenericDevice.java:47
        at org.ofbiz.pos.device.DeviceLoader.load(DeviceLoader.java:165)

It seem like the CashDrawerService need a JSD property to be specified. But
I don't know the property's name and value for the JSD.

Hi Chatree,

I'm off today, but I will try to help you this evening if needed. Normally you don't need to worry about cash drawers. You simply
connect them through the printer...

Hi Jacques,

Every thing is working fine. I found the configuration file (jpos.xml) for
cash drawer that contains JposEntry for cash drawer like this:

<JposEntry logicalName="CD-100M">
        <creation
factoryClass="jp.co.epson.jpos182.util.EpsonJposServiceInstanceFactory"
serviceClass="jp.co.epson.jpos182.drw.CashDrawerService"/>
        <vendor name="SEIKO EPSON" url="http://www.epson.co.jp"/>
        <jpos category="CashDrawer" version="1.11.1"/>
        <product description="Printer controlled Cash Drawer" name="CD-100M"
url="http://www.epson.co.jp"/>
        <prop name="PhysicalDevice" type="String" value="Standard"/>
        <prop name="PulseONTime" type="String" value="100"/>
        <prop name="PortName" type="String" value="COM1"/>
        <prop name="ClosedStatusPhase" type="String" value="0"/>
        <prop name="Uses" type="String" value="TM-U220B"/>
        <prop name="PulseOFFTime" type="String" value="400"/>
        <prop name="PortType" type="String" value="0"/>
        <prop name="Parity" type="String" value="0"/>
        <prop name="DeviceDesc" type="String" value="EPSON Standard
CashDrawer"/>
        <prop name="ServiceVersion" type="String" value="1.82"/>
        <prop name="TimeoutTime" type="String" value="5000"/>
        <prop name="DataLen" type="String" value="1"/>
        <prop name="RetryTime" type="String" value="100"/>
        <prop name="ReceiveTimeout" type="String" value="10"/>
        <prop name="PinNO" type="String" value="0"/>
        <prop name="deviceBus" type="String" value="Unknown"/>
        <prop name="FlowControl" type="String" value="1"/>
        <prop name="StopBit" type="String" value="1"/>
        <prop name="BaudRate" type="String" value="7"/>
        <prop name="OutputLength" type="String" value="10"/>
    </JposEntry>

It's work well.

Thank you for your attention.
