Anyway to disable or enable a printer by code?

Posted on by Kelvin yuan 60

Hi All

I am trying to disable and enable my receipt printers by code.

I have 2 receipt printers in RMS, which I need to disable or enable one of them by different situations so I can choose which receipt I will get (small or A4 receipt). so far I have found I could disable any one of them by 

Register.ReceiptPrinter.Disable()

or Register.ReceiptPrinter2.Disable()

but I could not make it enable again after I disable it, I cannot found the command to enable it again. Can anyone know how to enable any receipt pinter from the code?

Thanks very much for the help

    Thanks for the suggestion, the only problem is when it is prompt to the cashier, cashier sometimes make the wrong choice, that is why I try to do this in code, for example, If a customer was selected in this transaction, I will print with the A4 printer, otherwise I will print in the small receipt. if I could do it in code, then the cashier won't need to do the decision and there won't be any mistakes. I wonder if this could be done.

    I prefer to use RMS wizard solution when reinitiate RMS parameter it will return to its enable mode.

    It would be easier to configure Receipt Printer 1 for small receipts and Receipt Printer 2 for A4 and include prompt for cashier to print.

    If certain types of sales always use A4 you could automate the procedure by editing the receipt formats. For example, on Receipt Printer 1 use a small receipt format that only prints Sales, Payments, and X Reports. On Receipt Printer 2 assign an A4 receipt format that only prints Layaways, Quotes, and Work Orders. Set both printers to print automatically.
