Re: [WebERP-developers] POS

[Phil D. <ph...@lo...>]

Yes barcode scanning is easy using a keyboard wedge arrangement ... but 
opening a cash drawer and printing to a receipt printer... the 
web-server in the US and the POS in New Zealand?

Those articles are exactly what I was looking for - I did google around 
but didn't scroll right on this web-page which didn't render correctly 
on seamonkey!!

I think receipts need to print text immediately, directly to the printer.

Is it possible then to have POS inside webERP? It seems I may have been 
I have been too hasty to rule this out before?

Great to have you back Nagaraj - hope your honeymoon is not yet over!

If you could send me the code - I'd like to have a play with it!

Many thanks

Phil
