Hi, If your still having connection issues, check these settings; 1: Ensure the Baud rate is set to 96k in device manager 2: If the OMR is a CD200 series, set flow control to Hardware 3: Ensure the Baud rate set in device manager is the same setting in SIMS Failing that give the DRS helpdesk a call. Although we wont support the USB/Serial device we will try to get the issue resolved. Thanks Andy

Here you go. All instructions must be preceded with a '+' sign. When you 1st switch on an OMR it must be 'Framed' to set the baud rate,stop bits etc. Send a stream of '+U+*+U+*'. Only commands supported by DRS’ current range of readers are shown here. See SOS help for detailed description of these commands. +Command Function Notes !

Let me dig them out & I'll let you know when I have them. Andy

If you want, give me a call on the DRS helpdesk 01908 355115. If your going to call, fax me a copy of a REG form 1st & include the OMR serial number on the header, 01908 607668 FAO Andy McLean. I'll have a look for you. The helpdesk is a free service. Andy

Hi, If the barcode is being read then I'd not worry about the position so much. The red dotted lines are just a guide. Any adjustments to print offset are global, so all other printed details will move. Andy

Hi, Would you like a list of the OMR commands?

Most of the previous suggestions should work. It may be an issue when you change log ins from Admin to User. Check the port numbers & Baud rate are the same in hardware manager & SIMS. Log in as the User then try & make any changes then. You may be promted to sign in as Admin when making the changes. Seen this a few times. No rhyme or reason sometimes for the prob. Just Windows being a pain....

May be a bit late, but have you checked the floppy disc? The read/write sensor can sometime be covered in dust. Take the Floppy disc out, take a deep breath then blow into the FDD itself. This should clear any dust. If that does not solve it can be 1: Corrupt disc 2: Dead CMOS battery? Both are fixable.
