I just noticed that when you go to devices on the latest .62 update,the only device you can add is the file monitor device.
I dont know if its just me but didnt samba have like a list of devices including scales and com port pole display and or other types of devices before??
Poledisplay works like printer.
There is scale and caller ID device modules which maybe you haven’t got installed.
how dumb of me. I forgot all about the modules on fresh installs haha.
I do have another question though.
I’ve got an 8LINE LED display running on com port 2. however there is not actual driver for it. Just a mini program to send numbers and commands to the display.

Those are the commands it uses. I’m not sure which language it is or how about I can make it communicate with samba output. Any ideas on how I can make this work?
If try just using generic printer.
It says esc/pos and those codes look like XCT codes to me!
Interesting. You just reminded me that i can set com port and configure it to the correct baud rate. There shouldn’t be a reason why that couldn’t work actually. Im gonna test this tomorrow !
Shouldn’t need any driver for a customer display via COM port. It just accepts commands sent to it. You just need to make sure baud rate and other port settings are identical on the device and in Windows.
You said “8 line LED” but the file refers to “LED8 display” which is those type that only show numbers, is that what you have?
I set one up before, had few issues getting port speed to match but there was an issue with SambaPOS baud rate settings that has been fixed since v5.1.46.
