Posx printer and aloha

Hello!
Our stores are randomly experiencing lag on the terminals when navigating the menus and performing basis functions.
We see this in the terminal logs when the lag happens:

• Apr 03, 11:16:39.156674, [2808], [ERROR], [AlohaActivity], "AlohaActivity: Processing of AlohaActivityPreModifyItem() - EmployeeId(285402), QueueId(1), TableId(1048577), CheckId(1048577), EntryId(1048640) took 2.016s.

Rebooting the Aloha server will solve the issue for the day until it randomly happens again, but we aren't sure why (issue with one of the modules, ctlsvr, networking, etc...)
Has anyone experienced the AlohaActivity errors or know where we should start looking?
Here is our version stack:

• POS: 12.3.94.10999 (QS)
• RAL: 19.3.8.325
• ATG: 19.10.32
• APS: 19.4.19.1273
• AK: 19.11.15.1150

Thank you!

Got four u220s that had worked with three terms until the store did something (still won't tell me what) that scattered their .4.x items between .1.x and .5.x . Printers got defaulted, was a joy. The issue I'm having now is that some of the printers are... stacking. Pictures:
​
The four printers, on their proper IPs.
​
The terminal only seeing two as \"printers\".
​
Same terminal, all queues are still in order.
​
Three printers all piled on Kitchen-53.
​
The properties, with the three printers on .54
The original programmer of this site is gone, and I've never worked on anything like this before. Typically we set printers up on COMs rather than as networked devices. I don't know how to fix this.
EDIT: Including the Aloha images because I should have from the beginning.
​
This is 192.168.1.51
​
And .52
​
And .53
​
And .54

I posted this in the Aloha Discord, but not all of you are on it. This is the printer I have been selling my customers. It has no dip switches, programs via USB and all cables are included in box. USB, Network and 9 pin Serial. If you wanted to order some they are $99 each with tax and shipping. The only rub, they take about 3 weeks to arrive from China. But at 1/4 the cost of a new Epson TM88 with Network its worth the price. Anyone interested, just drop me a DM.
Ignore my messy desk.

Hi all, i am using aloha 12,3 and recently set it up where two servers take orders and they are sent to the4 bartenders printer for the bartender to make and then the cashier cashes out the tabs when the guests are ready to leave. This is a bar only, no food sales. The servers have access to the bartenders tabs and vice versa. At the end of the night when the cashier opens up the tab to close it off as the servers do not have access to cash drawers, the sales seem to get assigned to the cashier, so i am unable to tell how many sales the servers individually made when i run the sales by server report? Im guess it some setting that i have to check where the sales gets assigned to employee who entered the order? Secondly for House accounts . Is there no way a customers payment to his house account balance can be applied through the front of house? Employees can't get access to house account balances via the front of house if a customer comes in to pay it off?? is there a reason that house account balances can only be seen via boh and postings to house accounts can only be done via boh?? seems pretty odd. Thanks again in advance

Has anyone ever set up a wireless Epson T20III? If so have you connected a CD to it and the drawer pop?
I set up a T20III wireless using Epson OT-WL06 adapter. I can print from Aloha on a wireless tablet fine. I am not able to get a CD to pop from that printer. Yes the CD is set up as a printer driven drawer and the wireless printer is set as the printer. The CD and cable are tested working on a hardwired printer so I know it's not the CD or CD cable.

Aloha fellow Cricut enthusiasts. Just picked up my 1st Explorer Air 2 and am pretty excited. Before doing anything, I made sure to calibrate it and that was a success. I then went to perform a print and cut of some square labels (seemed easy enough) I wanted to print out and put on some drink bottles. I purchased some transparent sticker "paper" from Amazon. It's specifically labeled as vinyl sticker paper. It does state that it's 80 microns thick if that helps any.
The problem I had was after sending the job from Design Space to my printer, which was not an issue, when I then put it on the mat and fed it to the Cricut to get cut, the cuts were all hella off! The cuts were all down and to the left of the image, cutting right through all of them :/ I made sure to put the paper on the mat like it showed in the app. I did see the Cricut performing a bunch of scans prior to making the cuts, so it appeared like it was working properly doing some checks and balances prior to making the cuts.
Wondering if it's possibly the paper type that I selected in Design Space which was "printable sticker paper, clear (no liner printing"? Or was it possibly the paper type itself that caused the Cricut to not be able to do those pre-cutting scans properly? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have multiple what i believe are small issues i need resolved and one big one.
The big one: I changed the main password and managed to forget in and got locked out. aloha 12,3
The small ones are iussues such as getting company logo on receipt.... directing orders from specific users to be sent to a bartender printer and other little things...
​
Need to handle this urgently so please message me directly and as said ...payment is not an issue...as long as it fair

I'm getting this message on Term1, a 1530, on a 3-terminal site. I Googled this message and found previous solutions, some of which I tried (details below), but haven't been able to get T1 to recognize BOH. Below are conditions of the site, and then things I've tried.
Conditions:
-T1 drives the Kitchen printer, so I moved that to T2 and changed settings on BOH. Confirmed working.
-T1 cannot path to BOH, and BOH cannot path to T1. I've tried networking by computername and IP address; both fail.
-IP scheme is static for Aloha network.
-I can successfully path to T2 from BOH (using IP, not by computername).
-On T1, little network icon on system tray alternates the blue spinning circle, then a red x. Attempts to network to BOH and to T2 fail.
-On BOH: Local Area Connection Properties > TCP/IPv4 Properties > Advanced TCP/IP Setttings: IP addresses. There are two IP addresses here, and I'm assuming this is because it's a single NIC machine and this is how it keeps the Aloha LAN separate from outside (internet) traffic.
-Same place: Automatic Metric is flagged.
​
Things I tried:
-Replacing Cat5 cable from T1 LAN port to wall jack. No change.
-Changing "Automatic Metric" to 2, then rebooting server. No change.
-Changing "Automatic Metric" to 1, then rebooting server. No change.
-Changed back to "Automatic Metric", rebooting server. No change.
-Disabling and re-enabling the connection in Network Connections.
-Verified Windows Firewall is turned off on T1.
-The things in this link: https://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1783535 , reposted below:
2) open a cmd prompt and run these exact commands on BOH:
netsh interface tcp set heuristics disabled netsh interface ip delete arpcache
3) Open Network and Sharing Center, "Change Adapter Settings", Hit ALT on the keyboard, go to Advanced up top, Advanced Settings. Make sure Aloha NIC is above the Internet NIC in the list and hit ok. 4) Right click Aloha NIC and go to properties, IPV4 properties, Advanced, unflag Automatic Metric and change the metric to “2”. 5) Kill RFSSVR task on BOH and make sure it starts back up 6) Reboot FS
---BUT: I didn't see the same things listed in number 3, so I didn't do those. Also didn't think it applied to my single NIC machine.
​
I plan to go back to the site today with my laptop to see if I can verify traffic is even coming to the terminal, then see if I can find the hub to verify it is not the issue. Thanks in advance for your help.

We recently moved from Aloha to Toast. We're a fairly large bakery that also does a large lunch business. We do A LOT of scheduled future orders for cakes etc. We have toast online ordering which prints a copy of the guest receipt to a specified printer. That receipt printer function in Toast seems to be tied to "Takeout" behavior. So when we select to have it print the online order receipts it prints receipts from our other dining options with takeout behavior (phone orders). We can live with that but what we would like to accomplish is routing receipt printing by dining option. We'd have two receipt printers where two dining options would automatically print receipts to each printer. I've looked into item routing, service areas and prep stations. All of these revolve around items for production. We need copies of orders since we're a bakery and take orders weeks out in advance all the time. In aloha there was a lot more options and separation between guest receipts, order chits and kitchen chits. I don't really see a way to accomplish this currently in Toast. And yes we've spoken with support multiple times :)...
Could I route entire menu to a null prep station and use it to reroute to prep station assigned to the printers we'd like to use? I see potential issues with the fact that these aren't even receipts, they would be kitchen chits. Also, the only items in entire store that are routed to a kitchen printer and KDS are the lunch items. So not sure how adding these routings might interfere with the existing ones for those items? Basically the lunch items would be routed to two prep stations.
It would be really nice if Toast would add support for printing order receipts etc. in a more flexible way than they currently do.

I have a modified Ender 3 V2, with sprite extruder, cr touch, dual z axis belt driven (kevinakasam's version), running from a sonic pad, using a PEI plate (comgrow), cleaned with dawn and IPA. Currently printing with overture PETG at 235 on the print head, 80 on the bed. I've cleaned the printhead, and lately, every time, the PETG is sticking the printhead and on longer prints, it gets so bad it usually wrecks the print. Whatever I'm printing seems to stick to the bed, and I've leveled it manually and done the able multiple times. PLA doesn't give me this trouble. Using cura 5.5.0 to slice and uploading directly to the sonic pad. I've tried raising the print head about 0.02, no change. The print head was clean before I started the print in this video, and now, at about 40 minutes, it's getting covered.

REMEDIATION COMMITTEE UPDATE
Aloha Owners. Below is an update on the work and progress of Puamana’s Remediation Committee.
CURRENTLY THERE IS LIMITED ACCESS PERMITTED INTO PUAMANA
Eric Mulligan – Remediation Committee Chair
Lenity Architecture is working on producing AutoCAD drawings for the burned units and should have three buildings completed by next week. These drawings will be representative of the buildings as they were prior to the fire. The Remediation Committee is currently working on a process for having homeowners review and ultimately approve the finished AutoCAD drawings of their units. The idea is for homeowners to review these plans for accuracy and make sure we are showing the units in their pre-fire condition. Once the AutoCAD drawings are completed and approved by each homeowner in a single building, we can then release the architect to produce the full set of architectural and structural drawings, along with specifications and details. When this stage is completed, we will again have the homeowners review and approve the final set of plans. This will be necessary prior to us submitting for building permits. Right now, we are assuming the county will have an expedited permit process for building plans that do not deviate from the pre-fire condition or, if they do deviate, they have already gone through the planning process. Unfortunately, the county does not yet have any information on this permitting process, but we are planning to be ready to submit for permits as soon as they are accepting applications.
Office and Staff – Paul Brown, General Manager
Kihei Office/IT set-up – Rent is only $40,000 per year. The initial move into the office has been accomplished with the purchase of office furniture and computer equipment. Overwatch arranged for the computer set-up via a local tech firm and has mentioned that it may be a good option to move our IT support to this local vendor since OW doesn’t have on-island staff. Overwatch staff has been helpful in doing the network set-up and troubleshooting. The copy machine should be delivered in a couple of weeks, but a small HP printer is sufficient for now. Office supplies are being added as needed and there are a few furniture items still needed including a table and chairs for breaks and/or meetings, a supplies cabinet and miscellaneous kitchen supplies. Ano and Morevin built the office furniture and Ano has finished most of the painting of the interior. There have been a few maintenance items that have arisen, and the building management has been responsive in taking care of them.
Mobile Office – The signed agreement has been returned to Willscot along with a W9 for Willscot’s credit account approval. The building will be delivered and set up next week. Northwest Electric has been shown the location and will have an electrical connection set up before the trailer arrives.
ContaineMaintenance shop – The containers have been ordered and will be delivered on Thursday or Friday. Fohe came out and placed weed cloth down and delivered/spread gravel for the shop area. Northwest Electric has repaired the electrical supply to the tennis court water fountain and will use this supply for the shop. Once the containers have been placed our crew will build the roof over the span. Fence panels (chain-link fence with green screen) will be ordered and installed to secure the shop area.
Fohe’s crew working on shop yard set-up.
Irrigation – Most of the irrigation is up and running and Morevin is tracking down and repairing any leaks or malfunctions. The large irrigation line that comes down the canal from the highway to the bridge was burned in areas and needs to be repaired. The replacement materials have been ordered as they weren’t available on-island. Repairs of that main supply line will be completed once the materials arrive. Morevin will then segregate areas that don’t need to be irrigated and perform troubleshooting on the active stations. Most of the property landscaping is recovering well and as they have mostly caught up with storm damage repair and rubbish pick-up, Haiku will start the process of fine tuning the property and getting it back in shape.
Maintenance staff – The maintenance staff has been busy continuing storm repairs as well as regular maintenance and rubbish pick-up. Ano has been helping Northwest Electric with electrical repairs, building the office furniture, painting the office, supply runs to purchase needed supplies and replacement tools as needed, and assisting with Security. Morevin has been focused on irrigation repairs but has helped with other projects including the office furniture build. Nelson has been handling small maintenance projects and assisting Morevin with irrigation repairs as well as covering two security shifts per week. Rolando is on a leave of absence to visit his family in the Philippines for a month. Ike has been mostly handling rubbish pick up, cleaning up all building lanais and general clean-up. The team worked together and re-built one of the old trailers from the maintenance yard. They sanded and painted the frame, replaced the wheels and bearings, replaced the wood sides and now it is as good as new. They are starting to refurbish the second trailer this week. Everyone has been super flexible and willing to do whatever is needed.
Other projects – I am working with Maui Plumbing on re-starting the meter vault replacement. Robert from MP has been communicating with FEMA on when they can get started and what the workplace requirements will be. Electric service to the gate was restored today and Centra Systems has been contacted to come out and service the gate to determine what repairs will need to be done. They are going to expedite this work. The new location sensing device was very useful in identifying the location of power lines and shorts. Daniel from Northwest trained himself on use of the machine. I am in communication with Damage Prevent Hawaii on getting them to come to Maui to complete the promised staff training on the machine. Once they are trained, I will have the maintenance team use the device to locate exterior cleanouts for all buildings.
Local News – It was reported that the Mayor will be bringing legislation to the Council next week that will attempt to increase the number of short-term rentals that will convert to long-term rental. The strategy will be to give a property tax exemption to owners who switch their STR to LTR. The second payment of the 2023/24 tax bill will be waived, and no taxes will have to be paid the following year. The legislation proposes to increase the tax rate on STR’s that don’t convert to make up the revenue shortage resulting from the exemptions. Reports are that the temporary disposal site in Olowalu will be ready soon and that startup of debris clean-up will start shortly after. A couple of areas on the north end of Lahaina have been opened for use of the water. DWS workers remain active in flushing lines in Lahaina and Puamana.
Remediation Cleaning for Attics – Cathy Medina

• Industrial Hygienic (IH) testing of random attics was completed this week. Bob Zaiatz from Occuhealth tested 5-10 attics and exteriors from the different neighborhoods in Puamana. This is a requirement from Lexington (the HOA Insurance) to justify the cleaning of the attics and replacing of the insulation. Bob will provide a protocol for remediation cleaning as part of his report which we should have by the end of the week.
  
• If IH testing confirms smoke damage and contamination (a health and safety issue), remediation cleaning of the attics will be covered by Lexington.
  
• Standing units with attics need to be identified. Authorization from the owners for a remediation company to access those attics is needed as soon as we know they need to be cleaned. Amy will be coordinating this effort.
  
• We are gathering bids for the remediation cleaning of the attics. I have bids from the local ServPro and West Coast ServPro. I also have a verbal quote of $15/sqft as a reasonable price from Ellison Consulting on Oahu, but they have not been onsite.
  
• Remediation cleaning should be done as soon as possible once Soiltac has been applied to the entire burn zone in Puamana. After weighing the pros and cons of our situation with the burned zone so close to the standing units, the experts I consulted with all agreed that the remediation cleaning should still be done as soon as possible.
  
• Owners can hire the remediation company of their choice for the living area of the units. Owners should contact their insurance companies to determine coverage for IH testing and remediation cleaning. Coordinating with the attic remediation team to have the living area of an owner's unit cleaned at the same time, is an option.
  

​

• Remediation cleaning of attics should be done before owners have the living space cleaned in the case they choose a different remediation company.
  
• Once remediation cleaning of the attics is completed, an IH will issue a clearance. Most likely, Lexington will pay for the clearance testing of a random sampling of units.
  

• The remediation company we hire should guarantee their cleaning. In the event an attic fails the IH clearance test, the remediation company will conduct additional cleanings until the clearance can be issued.

Building Plans and Permit Committee – Sherrie Fellowes
We are now working on all 26 buildings. Specifically, we are working with the architect to come up with a fair price. It would appear that in 1970 there were five models in the 26 burned buildings, and 21 identical buildings of the 26 buildings. Around 20 buildings are new models and 6 are identical models of the new models—they vary from 25% to 100% remodel of work. We will sign a contract with, and then they will move from digital plans into a permit compliance set. We will submit the 55 building to the County of Maui once it is complete in the next week or two, so we can start the ball rolling with planning department as to how they’re going to handle the burnt buildings from a plan check review standpoint.

Aloha,
My motherboard on the Elegoo Neptune 3 plus failed on me and Elegoo sent me a replacement board. The board said it was good for the pro, plus, and max. Anyway I put in the new board and got it all hooked up and turned it on. Everything seemed to load up ok but I realized that when it went to "home" it was not in the center at all. It appears that my machine now thinks it is a pro not a plus and therefore is treating the bead as a much smaller build surface. When I go into printer info it now reads Neptune 3 pro.
​
How do I get the new board to recognize that it really should be a Neptune 3 plus? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

***Edit***
I'm not sure what changed, but I found this site and the code it generated worked first try.

Over the past few weeks I've installed Klipper on my 3 printers. I've got 2 Ender 3's and a CR10. They're all printing, but now I'm working on fine tuning things.
I realized that G29 that I used in Marlin startup gcode doesn't work with klipper.
I've tried a number of different copy and pastes of .cfg other people have posted, but none of them have worked for me.
I saw KAMP and tried installing it, and it's the same thing.
The printer homes, then heats up. Instead of probing, it just sits there for about a minute then starts printing. No probing whatsoever.
Can anyone assist me?

Hello,
I am having an issue with my aloha setup. When I open a check on my aloha that is is table service mode, i send the order to some printers. However, when i add addons to teh same order and send it, the printers are not doing anything anymore.
​
Is there a configuration to enable that?
​
Thanks in advance.

Let me know if this is frowned up here an I'll remove the post.
Have a client that just transitioned away from aloha and will be selling any/all of their hardware. They plan to hold onto their boh server and one term to keep it running so they can run historical reports etc. They're a legacy aloha system so no ongoing licensing costs etc. to worry about. If there is a way to preserve their historical reporting etc. without having the server and one term run by all means lmk. Wasn't sure if it could work in a VM etc.
Terminals are:
(4) P 1530 - All have 4 GB Ram and SSD's. Some have larger 120gb ssd's that were added so they could run ATO etc. All have standard table mount but there are also 2 NCR wall mounts.
(1) CX-5 - Don't know hardware specs on this one, pretty s. It's only a couple years old though and also has the guest interactive facing display.
(2) NCRAloha windows tablets - these run full aloha as this site used them to run quick service and ATO on the tablets. They have the integrated MSR swipes, but NCR could only ever get one of them to work! They also have the ncr charging stands.
(1) Whose Calling 4 line caller ID box for use with aloha. Serial port model, site bought it two years ago to replace a Rochelle that failed.
Also, have epson u200's and receipt printers. Let me know if interested. Generally all the terms are in pretty good shape as this site was a single location and owner was very hands on. She's kind of a neat freak actually. A couple of the P1530's are developing warn spots with touch etc. but for most part everything is in good shape.

I am an ordering app, and we print to ethernet printers. All of my clients printers are serial connected.
I am exploring the option of physical connecting them via ethernet and part of that is accessing the pos interface and updating the printers to ip based.
I am not on location, are aloha running on windows? I can get the client to install Team Viewer so I can update the settings.
Where are the documentation / manual for making this change?

Aloha’s restaurant EPOS system is a tool that helps restaurant owners modernize and optimize restaurant management. It has a touch-screen terminal, a receipt printer, a card payment terminal, and handheld devices for order taking. This restaurant EPOS system enables staff to take orders accurately, customize items, and send them directly to the kitchen, reducing errors and improving efficiency.
Aloha’s restaurant EPOS Systems UK has integrated payment processing features to ensure swift and secure transactions. Its table management features help optimize seating arrangements, manage reservations, and reduce wait times. It also has an inventory control functionality that helps track stock levels, automate reordering, and minimize wastage.

Hi all, I come here a lot for tips and I've got one that I'm trying to crack here. We got new terminals to replace slower old ones in the last few months. One of these new terminals is having about a 5 second input lag for any order after the first menu item is pressed.
Example:
Coke selected - Input immediate.
Sandwich selected - Screen now lags 5-10 seconds
This lag isn't just to the menu items, it's to functions (selecting an item on the order, Delete function, etc).
I've checked to see if the terminal is looking for printers it shouldn't be looking for, that is looking good. I've swapped for a new ethernet cable, I've ensured only the bare minimum is running on the terminal so Aloha has all the CPU/RAM it could desire.
I DO notice that Windows Defense Firewall is running in Task Manager, I tried to stop this but got Access Denied (despite being admin level).
I've read that Windows Firewall can be a pain with Aloha, yet the other terminal directly next to this problem child, has WDF running as well and does not lag (it's also on the same switch for reference).
Any other tips or tricks I could try to reduce this input lag? Thank you in advance!

Aloha all. I'm the volunteer lead IT for a non profit here in Hawaii and looking to simplify and clean up the network by making it all one brand and I've heard amazing things about Ubiquiti and believe it could do what we need but I need your help.
Current setup is fiber ont (300 up down expandable to 1 gig in time of need) to an off brand that i had never heard of gig router to a 48 port gig cisco poe switch with cat5e runs throughout the building. We have an off brand camera nvr security system, 2 different model netgear access points set up in mesh to supply wifi to the building, an apple play for the Mac users to connect and share screen and print and of course computers which includes 4 different flight Sim set ups and a couple printers. We also have an outdated and not working front door finger print system that let's users gain access but that runs off of xp and is having issues so everyone has the same codes to the side doors which have analog push code door locks.
I have this all hobbled together and working at the moment but it's a hot mess.
I want to build this out so it's a solid system and easy to manage for whoever is in charge after me as this org - not sure I'm aloud to share names due to forum rules so I'm being vague - uses this building to teach kids leadership, Aerospace and also responds in times of emergencies with ground and air crew for search and rescue making the building an emergency operation center (this is more on the adults but we keep the kids involved). So I'd want to have what we have now but all one brand if possible, manageable remotely, Backed up via ups's with the addition of a cloud system and also adding door locks that are digital /controllable and have a way for volunteers to gain access to the building without everyone knowing the same code and can be tracked and having that front door fingerprint or other easy entry system.
What hardware specifically do you think i would need to accomplish this and roughly what cost?
They don't have a budget so I'm gonna have to put together a package and try and find a grant or a business to buy it for us. I even tried reaching out to ubiquiti sales and hq emails but got no response as I'm sure they get hit up all the time for stuff like this so I don't have much hope in that angle.
Any suggestions or other resources are welcome! Mahalo for reading this far!

Hi all, hoping for some pointers as I try to figure out where I’ve gone wrong.
The printer is an EPSON U-220B
I set it up with the right IP address so it’s on our Aloha VLAN. Lights are on in port and on the dummy switch I have it in(along with an expo screen which is functioning no problem). I can ping the printer and IP login to it.
With its current routing though, it never printers and when I try to change the routing from a terminal directly example:
Term 9 New Expo -> T10 print(Auto)
When I change that to be
New Expo -> New Expo
T10 prints out that I need to check the new expo and reroute was set back to the previous setting.
Anyone have any advice for an Aloha noob?

I've used Aloha for 20 years at two busy Austin pub/restaurant sites and though NCR support remains pretty consistently awful since local dealer POS Solutions went away, the POS has been extremely reliable and I can resolve 90% of issues that arise. Inertia is strong, as is 20 years of experience, history, reporting (lame as it is) and staff and management familiarity.
We are looking at some handheld Aloha order entry/tableside payment devices for servers, and NCR is of course pitching Cloud-based Aloha as an upgrade to our 6 year old system of Windows terminals and a Win BOH server. We are NOT looking at non-Aloha POS alternatives.
Runs Win 7 Embedded or Win 10!

1. Have you made that switch from Aloha to Aloha Cloud?
2. Did you have too switch card processors too?
3. Keep/port over Aloha Item database and pricing files?
4. Keep FOH terminals or replace some or all?
5. Should we replace kitchen printer with a display?
6. Failure mode if cloud service go down (credit cards, processing sales, etc)
7. What do you wish you knew before making the switch?

Thanks for any feedback. If you want to email or chat I am open too maybe over a pint of Guinness if you are in Austin.
