Device Maintenance

---

Use this form to set up devices to connect to Greentree, such as cash drawers, printers, pole displays, and paper cutters. You can set the devices up as templates that you can edit to be specific to a station.

Device name

Enter a unique code to represent the device, up to 30 characters.

Device description

Enter an extended description of the device.

Device type

Select a device type:

• Cash drawer
• Printer
• Pole Display
• Paper Cutter

Default port

Enter the default output port. For example, you can enter this as LPT1 or COM1. For devices other than printers, you can only use physical local port addresses and the device must be connected to the workstation. Multiple workstations per device is not supported.

You can enter a printer name on the Processing System Status and Setup form.

Default ini string

Enter the default command that will activate the device when the transaction trigger occurs. This should be on the form of: nn,nn,nn,nn, if nn is an ASCII value of a character responding to the character that must be sent to the device to initialise it — for example, 27 = OPEN CASH DRAWER.

Default reset string

Enter the default reset string for the device. This should be on the form of: nn,nn,nn,nn, where nn is an ASCII value of a character responding to the character to send to the device to reset it.

Note: Device parameters are defaults only, and you can edit them to make them station-specific on the POS Station Device Maintenance tab on the Station Maintenance form.
