Best Practice for Writing a POS System

Question

I\'m putting together a basic Point of Sale (POS) system in C# that needs to print to a receipt printer and open a cash drawer. Do I have to use the Microsoft Point of Service S

Answer 1

To control the receipt printer directly, read up on the ESC/POS commands. These commands will allow you to open the cash drawer and print barcodes and images on the receipts.

However, as your using C#, it maybe be easier to use the Microsoft Point of Service class library.
