Cash Register System Connection

TM5000WIN print manager supports two ways of receiving input data from master application:

Files

When communicating via file, the print manager waits for incoming input data in the selected directory and file which it reads at set intervals.

Example: If the file name is blocek*, all files whose name begins with the string blocek will be received (file queue).

TCP Server

For TCP/IP communication, the print manager waits for input data from allowed IP addresses. Only one IP address can communicate at a time.

⚠️ Important: TM5000WIN.exe application needs to be granted an exception in Windows Firewall for TCP/IP communication.

Printer Connection

Setting communication between PPEKK (TM5000WIN) and CHDU5000 in printer.

⚠️ Important: If CHDU is not detected and connected, options ACTIVATION, CONFIGURATION and VAT will be hidden.

To make them available:

1. Set and test communication with CHDU
2. Click SAVE SETTINGS
3. Close configuration (click X)
4. Restart print manager configuration
