ezPower / Percentage discounts
« Last post by HotSpotComputers on July 15, 2021, 12:42:51 AM »
Hi guys,

I am helping out an old client of ours, we set up his 8 license v14 ezpos a few years ago now for his Pizza Shop

He has recently changed his menu offering a few different deals throughout the week

Tuesday and Wednesday he offers any 2 pizza's 15% discount (discount doesn't apply on 3rd pizza but would apply if they purchase 4 pizzas)
Thursday and Sunday any pizza 10% off
Any Day purchase 2 pizzas or more 10%

These discounts only apply to the Pizza and not the total sale.
Eg. If they purchase drinks, garlic bread and a pasta he doesn't want them to be discounted in that sale

Any advice on the best way to set this up?

I have tried the discount option in category but i can't seem to get it to work.

Thank you,

Luke

Thanks for the additional information. The DT-100U USB works as a virtual Com Port via USB. One issue I came across in the past day is the preset com port in Windows Device Manager had changed itself from Com Port 6 to 1. It seems to work reliably with sales, and I will check if I am still getting  com port error with a Z-Out.

I will research further with the second till early next week and advise...

One issue that I didn't see at first is a drawer can Not be connected directly to a USB port in almost all cases.  It must be a serial port.  I've seen serial port emulations work and many not work.  The software is writing directly to the COM port and it will not work if it's configured as a USB port.  To use a USB port the drawer must be connected to the printer and the printer is connected to the USB port.  This is the standard connection method.  In the Settings / Printer & Equipment what setting are you using?  The USB setting is for a special M-S cashdrawer.  The standard open method is "Open connected to Printer".  This has the drawer connected to the printer.

Thanks Ronaldrwl,

I was using the same  DT-100U USB device on both PCs as a test and with two separate cash drawers, but with the comm port number set appropriately on each PC. As an aside, with this device, do I still need to use the serialsend applet, or is the device itself generating the code pulse? I presume it is the later?????

I upgraded to the Server version on the 16th of February this year - Transaction ID 06J498726E797993C.

(EDIT:- I have two Ez Powers in my name. One SINGLE for the Golf Club. One SERVER for the Yacht Club ;-)

Do both the computers have the same usb device?
I show you have the single computer version?
The "File / Open Drawer", Open Drawer button, z-out all use the same code to open the drawer.

ezPower / Cash Drawer - ?same settings? different actions Server and Slave
« Last post by JohnBlyth on June 09, 2021, 02:59:47 AM »
I have recently bought a new cash drawer as our old one had died (along with its opener) some time ago before we changed to the Server version, but I didn't setup specifically a drawer when I upgraded to the Server version.

I have a strange problem, in that I get two different actions between the Server and the Slave when I connect the same drawer to one or the other. I am using a DT-100U USB device to open the drawer.

On the Server, the drawer opens nicely when pressing the "Drawer Open" icon, but when I do a Z-Out, I get a comm port error.

Conversely, on the Slave, the drawer doesn't open with the "Drawer Open" icon, but does when I open the Z-Out dialogue.

I have checked the settings of both computers, but I can't for the life of me find why this is happening, as the settings seem identical.

Obviously, I have missed something. Any ideas?

Many thanks

ezPower / Installing Problems
« Last post by ronaldrwl on June 07, 2021, 05:36:09 AM »
I've run into Windows 10 blocking apps from being installed.  This is what helped me.  Open:
the Settings windows and search for "Reputation-based protection".

Here is the full path "Settings / Update & Security / Windows Security / App & Browser Control / Reputation-based protection".

I turned off these and was then able to download and install apps.  After installing I turned them them back on.  I've attached a screen shot of the window.

For the slide show on the customer display screen, what size do my images need to be to fit the whole screen? At the moment there is lots of white space on the screen. Thanks in advance. Mark

I haven't looked at the tablet market in awhile.  A few years ago I got a ASUS tablet on clearance for $80.  I wanted to test our software running the Network version.  It was running Windows 8.1 and was the slowest cheapest tablet I could find.  It worked great but a little slow.  Anything running Windows 10 should be fine.
