Amicus Supported Hardware

This page outlines the hardware items that are officially supported by Amicus POS

Customers and Partners please note, from 6.02 onwards, Amicus only officially supports EPSON printers using ESC/POS commands. After many years of battling with OPOS we have determined that despite its potential, it is a poor implementation with too many bugs, memory leaks and crashes. We have experienced also a number of issues using generic EPSON ESC/POS Emulation style printers, while you may use them we do not support them at all moving forward. We are also rescinding support for OPOS cash drawers, pole displays etc.

Class	Brand	Models	Comment
Receipt Printer	Epson	TM-T88V	This product is by far the best in its class. Amicus only officially supports ESC/POS commands, OPOS is being phased out and is not supported.
	Epson	TM-T20	Cheaper alternative.
Kitchen Printer	Epson	TM-T88V	By far the most trouble free product available for this purpose.
		TM-U220D	If thermal paper is likely to go black in your kitchen then use this model (dot matrix not thermal). Note that Thermal is preferred because its faster, quieter, cheaper, requires no ink and has a far better & easier to read printed docket.
POS Scale	Datalogic	Magellan 8400	Very reliable unit with good barcode scanner inbuilt.
	Wedderburn	TBC
Barcode Label Printer	Zebra	LP 2844	Only parallel and serial interfaces supported.
Identification Readers	Axeze	KEP	FTDI USB Chip virtual COM port driver software avaliable from the Axeze website.
