Door Entry Systems

[RWAP]

One of the early adopters of the Retro-Printer module is using the system to capture output from a door entry system (which sends its logs to a parallel port).

For this, the user wanted to simply spool all of the logs to a single file which could then be parsed and read on a standard PC over the network.

For this, there is just a couple of configuration settings:
/var/config/emulation is set to Epson
/var/config/simple_spool has to be set to Yes.

/var/config/simple_spool has to be set to Yes.

This part was critical. The entry system creates a separate #.raw file for every action otherwise. Some of those actions are blank lines too.

Thank you for clarifyingn this RWAP
