Integrating pole display

sabzam

hi all, a quick question...has anyone of you ever tried to integrate a pole display with navision (mainly 5.0).

Thanks

Through which interface you have this display connected? All depends on the interface. If it is Parallel port, you can use my "Direct Printer" dll to send any data to the display with special characters (see Display manual for possible commands). If it is Serial port, you can use another dlls to send data to the system.

I never knew you could use NAV to display your pole, is that an add-on?

i use our pole display on serial port and / or parallel port.
What for a problem do you has?

What the heck is a pole display? I doubt it's the kind with dancers...

This little display on the cashpoint in your supermarket that shows you the price of your bought items ;-)

Got it, thx. Clearly POS integration hasn't been something I've done

Whole integration is just about sending correct data to correct port in correct time... ;-)

We are using way, when all displays are installed as "Generic Text Printer" on the correct port and we are sending the data to them through the direct printing dll to be able to send Escape sequences...

This is easies way I think, because it is working with terminal services, you can configure which "printer" to use for which user etc...
