Title: slow and unreliable
Post by david on Dec 13th, 2005, 9:07pm
I have just downloaded the demo version of the port redirectopr.

I have a POS printer connected via ethernet and i am attempting to send data out com2.

I have tried both MSDOS to copy a preformatted binary file to the printer. i have also used the send text fiile function of hyperterminal.

With hyper terminal the sending of text data is reliable but very slow. There is a definate pause between each line.

With MSDOS the data is sent quickly and the printer prints as as a result, however the printer does not always recieve a complete print job. Like ther is a timeout or handshake problem.

This software ( or the function it claims to provide ) is very usefull for Star Micronics as we have so many customers who want to use ethernet to connect POS printers. there software however will only talk to a serail device.

If this works reliably we would be interested in purchasing this software on an OEM basis.

Can you specify what Serial Port Splitter protocol (Telnet or Raw data) and COM2 port settings do you use?
