Point of Sale - And Epson TM-300PD Receipt Printer

Hello,

I have VB4,VB6, and VB.Net.

TOPIC 1 - POS

I am looking for someone who has made a point of sale program, more specifically - a Video Rental Program.

I have a small video business and I need a program to operate the rentals, print receipts , keep a database of customers and a database of movies. For a store like blockbuster. Customer walks up to counter, scan items (I have a scanner and a receipt printer) print a receipt and off they go-happy about the quick transaction.

Anything is appriciated!

Thanks

TOPIC 2 - Epson TM-300PD Receipt Printer

I also have an Epson TM-300PD receipt printer. I thought about using crystal reports but I just need some code to print the contents of a form to LPT1.

If you have any ideas - please tell me or if you have done this thing before - please give me your code for it. It will be incorporated into a POS (Point of Sale Program). (Topic 1)

Thanks for your time,
Dylan

Do not dblpost, please.

Hi Dwmcc

I have written a Point Of Sale program for a restaurant, which has an epson printer and kicks the cash drawer open, no scanner though. I will be happy to help you out. What have you got so far?

Alexanderjames,

Thanks for the help.

I really have a bunch of partly working VB Projects.

Do you still have the project file?

if you do, do you have it in VB 4.0, VB 6.0, or VB.NET?

If you do, then I would very much appriciate it if you could email it to me or post it on the web somewhere.

Thanks Very Much for your help!

PS.
The scanner is a standard I/O (input/output) device so it will input data just the same as the keyboard.

If you can type in your program, then my scanner will probabally work!

Hi Dylan

i wrote mine in vb6. I am more than happy to help you out where you get stuck, as this forum is intended to help people with their projects. The program took me months to write, and i don't think that there is any programmer that will just hand out there completed programs. But i am more than happy to give you code snippets when you get stuck. Another alternitive is in this forum there is an Open positions link, where for a fee you could get someone to write it for you. If you need code snippets i will gladly help you.

Kind Regards

I wrote one for a friend of mine that owns a small video store. Not really willing to give up the code, but can help you with stuff...

He uses a barcode scanner to scan barcodes on the DVD's, also we open a cash drawer....

He doesn't usually print on receipt printers, but I have done that in another program....

We converted him from a DOS based program called The Ultimate...

Let me know what I can help you with. Or if you want to try the Working program out, just let me know. I'll see about putting something together for you...

That is very Funny!!!

I use the same program for my video store - The Ultimate.

Also:

If you dont want to give up your code - I will not publish it an any way!

If you dont mind me asking - why wont you give up the code - I would really help me! Right now (for my video store) I am using a very old windows 3.1 machine with a really old program.

ummm. Maybe because he worked really hard on it and he does not want some person taking the code, using and selling it off as his own work. ;).

I would never give my code away either. alexanderjames: what kind of POS did you make?

Hi Dclamp

I wrote a Point Of Sale Program for a fast food, take away outlet, it is quite complex as it has to handle 3 levels of sale, Eat In (Table Numbers) , Deliveries and Take Away, with a kitchen printer, receipt printer and cash drawer.
