1. Adding Display to Windows and Hardware Features<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

First of all, you need to determine how your Display is connected to the computer, and how it communicates<\/strong>.\u00a0If you cannot figure out this information, it will be very difficult to get your Display working with SambaPOS<\/em>. There are many types of Displays, though most of them will communicate in a serial fashion via a serial port or COM emulation via USB.<\/p>\n

The following images show a Display connected via USB, that the\u00a0Driver<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0emulates as a\u00a0serial port on\u00a0<\/em>COM2<\/em><\/strong>. This Display requires a driver in order to do port redirection\/emulation.<\/p>\n

It is possible to use Putty program\u00a0(http:\/\/www.putty.org) to test Com Port communication.<\/p>\n

You can test communication with your display by opening a Command Prompt and issuing an\u00a0echo<\/code>\u00a0statement toward the correct COM port:<\/p>\n

echo testing123>COM2<\/strong>
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Once you have successfully produced a test message on your Display, you can continue to set up SambaPOS to use the Display. If you are unable to produce a test message, following the rest of this Tutorial probably will NOT work for you!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
