GV-Data Capture

GV-Data Capture

Normally, one PC comes with 2 COM ports, therefore only 2 POS 
systems/cash registers may be supported without COM port extension.  The 
extension is made possible by adding 

Moxa

 extension modules, such as N 

Port 1240, C218 Turbo Series, Industrio CP-114 Series and C320 Turbo 
Multiport.  The following diagram illustrates how a Turbo Series card can be 
connected with one GV-system and four POS systems.

In the Select Base Printer Command field, select the printer command 
used by your POS system or cash register.
In the Transaction Void field, enter the exact transaction text used to 
identify "void".  For this example, look at the receipt and we find the exact 
text is ITEM VOID.
In the Transaction Stop field, enter the stop command used by your 
printer.  If your printer does not support the Form Feed or CutPaper 
command, enter the exact transaction text used to identify "stop".  For this 
example,  **********17:34***05/03/04********** indicates the transaction 
stop.  However, since the time and date varies with each transaction, only 
enter ********** as the stop command.
In the New POS Module Name field, enter a module name for the new 
settings.
Click 

Go

 to apply all settings.

Run POS Server Setup.  (GV-system/Configure/POS Application 
Setting/POS Device Setup)
Click the 

New

 button in the POS Server Setup window.  

In the POS Module drop-down list, select the POS module you created in 
TranStopEdit.
