Hi HP Community,
One of our clients is using HP RP9 G1 Retail System, Model 9015 (Windows 10) System and it contains POS Line Display 2*20, we provided POS software for billing purposes and here the issue is displaying the Item details in the Pole Display. Earlier we have integrated with other hardware like E-PoS and other hardware and we are new to the HP environment.
From our software, we are sending the Item details and Amount to a .txt file and hence need to trigger those details to the HP Pole display, Hence request the HP team for support for bridging the .txt file to HP Pole display triggering .bat file.
Code mentioned FYR (This is done using .bat file and used earlier for E-PoS Application):
*************************************
@Echo off
cls>com2
@Echo on
copy C:\Program Files\POSSOFT\Poll_Creation.Txt com2
pause
SerialPort com2 = new SerialPort("com2", 9600, Parity.None, 8);
com2.Open();
copy C:\Program Files\POSSOFT\Poll_Creation.Txt
com2.Write(Clear); // string Clear = "\x1B\x40" - hex value of a control character for the display
com2.Write("Hello community");

contact your local HP rep, and see if they can help you....this is a user to user forum and i doubt anyone on this forum has the exact same HP hardware you have and they most definitely don't have your custom software
again, talk to your regional HP rep and see if they can recommend a company or programer in your area that you can talk to who is familiar with the HP hardware/software you want to configure with your custom software
