RMS slows down while tendering F12 Andy Miller - T 06-12-2006

We are using the Epson TM-T88III printer with OPOS drivers. The system is
running on windows XP. it is Store Operations 1.3. There use to be long
discussions about this problem in the past which i cannot find, must have
been removed from this discussion board for one reason or another.

Anyways... When tendering with F12, and then putting in the tender amounts,
pressing OK. Once it is ready to start printing a reciept, the system will
stop and take forever before it will finish and print the reciept. Any ideas
of what can be done to help fix this problem? This problem doesnt happen
consistantly. It is every few transactions or so.

Andy,

There have been numerous suggestions on the discussion boards relating to
this problem. They vary from speeding the whole process up by changing all
the baud rates to at least 19200 or making sure that the opos driver for the
drawer(if the printer is powering a drawer) has the radio button set to high
instead of the standard low.

I have tried all these and i am still not happy with the speed consistancy
of finalising a sale. I accept that the first sale of the day will be slow
but as you mentioned it is worse than that.

I know this reply doesn't help you much but hopefully others reading it will
give us some other ideas to sort it out.

I use the TMT88 in numerous other application and have found it to be second
to none and therefore can only assume the problem lies within RMS

I have been trying to figure this one out doing all of the same things, and
have yet to figure out the problem. If anyone can give any information about
this I would greatly appreciate it.

I found a very odd solution to this exact problem i was experiencing with the
POS locking up while tendering a sale. It was as simple as changing the
windows login information. For Example:

during windows bootup, We were using the User: Fish Tech Outfitters
we changed the user account and made the login more simple. User: FishTech

no spaces, and shorter. For some odd reason, (or possibly just a miracle)
our POS does not lock up while tendering sales anymore. My guess is... even
though RMS should be using SQL authentication for access to the database, it
was trying to use windows authentication using the user name with spaces,
causing it to lock up while trying to connect to the database.
