POS Exception:It could not complete output within the specified period

Question

Hi

We are using EPSON TM-T88IV Printer and we are using .net api  OPOS  and POS for .net.

We perform all the thing but when we perform Print command it is print but print only single line and throw the exception

the exception is:

"It could not complete output within the specified period"

Please help it.

Answer 1

Hi,

There are many people using that printer successfully with Pos .Net, so the problem is likely either your configuration or your code (or faulty hardware, but that is unlikely). It is hard to tell without your code to look at.

Can you post your code ?

Are you, or have you tried using, transactional printing ?

Hi Yort,

 Thaks for reply,

 We are using the sample Application which we get after install .net API.

 and we are using also the test application which provicde the inter face to test all the command.it is generic provid by OPOS.

please find below driver and set up and API which we are using for POS.

1)APD_407EWM.exe    Pos driver

2)OPOSN1.11.7_x64.exe   OPOS Utiliy

3)POS for .Net v1.12.exe   .net API
