Hello everyone,
Does anyone have the pin out configuration for the remote printers for the Focus POS system? I need the pin out for the serial to Ethernet (RJ45) adapter please. The local dealer wants $25 for this and I know the adapter only costs $2 and the few minutes it takes to pin it out.

Thanks.
 
What hardware are you using, posiflex, epson, ibm etc. The software (focus) is usually not an issue.

Cheers,
Coorsman
 
I called the local Focus POS dealer in Dallas and they quoted me $25 for the RS232 adapter. Seems they want to keep a monopoly on these. So, I can't use a straight serial 9 pin to 25 pin mapping for serial over a cat5. They have a special pin out for the remote printers. One person I talked to said 2-2, 3-3, 5-7 and them possibly 4-6 and 6-20, yet wasn't sure on this. So, still digging as I feel it is highway robbery to charge $25 for a part that costs < $2 and the couple of minutes to pin it out.
