Using a JPOS Star Printer on Snow Leopard

Created September 2010

This application note will show how to use a Star Micronics printer on Mac OS:X with the JavaPOS driver. While these directions show how to configure a TSP650 on version 1.9.13 of the JavaPOS Driver, these directions suffice for the following supported models. Models Supported: TSP650, TSP700II, SP700, TUP500, and HSP7000 Supported Interfaces: USB, Ethernet Table of Contents Configuring a USB Printer in the JavaPOS Driver.Page 2 Configuring a CashDrawer attached to a USB Printer in the JavaPOS driver.Page 4 Configuring an Ethernet Printer with the JavaPOS Driver Page 5 Configuring a CashDrawer attached to an Ethernet Printer in the JavaPOS Driver ..Page 7

Pre-Requisites: The latest JavaPOS driver for Mac OS:X which can be downloaded from the Star Micronics website: http://www.starmicronics.com/Supports/Download.aspx#MacJPOS See the Readme file for the specific configuration needed for your printer model. USB Printers need to be in vendor class, by turning off DIP switch 5. The NSB status back mode will need to be enabled, and which is done by, - Turning off DIP switch 8 on the TSP650 and TSP700II - Turning on memory switch 4-7 on the SP700 - Turning on memory switch 7-8 on the TUP500 - Using factory defaults with HSP7000.

Note: JavaPOS for Mac OS:X is currently only supported on 32-bit Java Runtime Environments. To verify the current Runtime Environment, in terminal, enter the following command: java version If the current version of Java Runtime Environment is 32-bit, the following output will appear:
