Baud Rate

• The Baud Rate for ECR Communications is selected here. The range available is

from 1200 to 38400 baud. The standard setting for Sharp ECR's is 9600. This

corresponds to a 5 setting with the 6112 PGM2 Job. The ER-A750, ER-A770, UP-

600/700 and UP-3300 can communicate at up to 38400 baud. A setting of 19200

gives good results providing the cabling is not of excessive length and in a noisy

(electrically), environment.

• Select the type of the ECR.

Modem Number

• If there is a modem number, this number will be dialed if a modem is found on the

selected comm port, instead of normal communications.I

Comms Logging

• Select 'ON' to log all ECR communications to file POSUtilityLog.txt. Using this

option is useful when trying to resolve a problem communicating to the ECR.

• Information written to the file includes; Date & Time, Port & Settings, ECR Number

& Type, what has been sent and the reply from the ECR.

• This obviously takes up Hard Disk space, so it should be deleted at regular intervals

if you choose to leave it selected.

Logo Width

• The ER-A750, ER-A770, UP-600/700 and UP-3300 can use a number of

Receipt/Kitchen Printers. These printers can have different number of columns.

The ER-01PU is 30 columns, but these ECR's can use up to 40 characters for the

Receipt Logo. The default setting is selected here.

Comms Retries

• There can be various reasons for Communications to fail. The number of times to

retry is selected here. A setting of 2 should suit most applications, but a range from

0 to 20 is available.

• You can give each ECR in the database a name to help identify it. This name along

with the ECR number will be displayed on all forms that refer to specific ECR's.

Realm Name and Password

• For communicating to the Starrtec TCP/IP Interface for Sharp ECR's, you must

supply a name and password, which has been set in the ECR, before

communications is possible.
