Project:Documentation > Additional serial pole display

A simple (text-only) pole display can be added to the system by modifying SysString:register-initMachine-default. The default pole display is configured exactly the same as the default printer, with the exception that its name is $pole instead of $printer. See Ticket_printer_testing_and_configuration.

  • NOTE: Make sure to disable the printer/pole alias if your pole display is not attached to your primary printer: 
#*pole = *printer;

If your pole display connects directly to your ESC/POS printer, you should use one of the Epson::ESCPOS-derived drivers (hopefully the one for your particular printer). Otherwise, you can use the BurrellBizSys::TextInserterPole driver. All of these drivers support a two line by twenty character per line display.

There is a version of the TextInserterPole.pm that I have, which has a bug (fixed in CVS, see bug 106 for a patched file): 

require LanePOS::Device::GenericPrinter #should have been:
require LanePOS::Devices::GenericPrinter #plural matters

POD for the device drivers in the current release is here: http://l-ane.net/develop/docs/podded/LanePOS/Devices/ .
