Legend Install

Installation

There are 2 programs that need to be installed for the Legend custom client to work.

  • Legend.CustomClient.msi
  • VcComCtxCli_11.6.28.exe

Both can be found in \\resources\itsupport$\Software\Legend installers

After installing both (Administrator rights required) you will need to restart the machine so that the VcCom component can be used. The installing user will get a shortcut in their startup folder, within their own Start Menu (%APPDATA%).

Configuration

  • The configuration file that will be written is devices.xml
  • If you are an administrator, this will go into the installation folder

C:\Program Files (x86)\Legend CustomClient\devices.xml

  • If you aren't an administrator this will be redirected to the virtualstore in your user profile

C:\Users\morgan.willcock\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Legend CustomClient\devices.xml

  • Open the Legend Custom Client from the tray. (It may say disconnected but that is normal).
  • Once opened there will be a configuration window. In the top right you will see a button that says Editor. Click on that and it should open a new window like a notepad page where you can enter text.
  • Paste in the following configuration (a copy can also be found in the location mentioned above "configured devices.txt"):
    <Devices>
    <TillDrawer Id='2'  Driver='DaisyChainedTillDrawer' ParentId='1'>
    <DeviceName>TillDrawer</DeviceName>
    <DeviceDriver>DaisyChainedTillDrawer</DeviceDriver>
    <DeviceId>2</DeviceId>
    <ParentDeviceId>1</ParentDeviceId>
    <DeviceCollection></DeviceCollection>
    </TillDrawer>
    <BarcodeScanner Id='3'  Driver='KeyboardWedge'>
    <CharacterMask>1234567890ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ</CharacterMask>
    <InputMask>AAA000000000</InputMask>
    <TerminatingCharacter>\r</TerminatingCharacter>
    <MaxTimeBetweenKeys>50</MaxTimeBetweenKeys>
    <KeyboardWedgeStartSentinel></KeyboardWedgeStartSentinel>
    <KeyboardWedgeEndSentinel></KeyboardWedgeEndSentinel>
    <DeviceName>BarcodeScanner</DeviceName>
    <DeviceDriver>KeyboardWedge</DeviceDriver>
    <DeviceId>3</DeviceId>
    <ParentDeviceId>-1</ParentDeviceId>
    <DeviceCollection></DeviceCollection></BarcodeScanner>
    <ReceiptPrinter Id='1'  Driver='WindowsDriver'>
    <WindowsDriver>EPSON TM-T88IV Receipt</WindowsDriver>
    <NewLineCode>13,10</NewLineCode>
    <TillDrawerCode>27,112,0,25,250</TillDrawerCode>
    <CurrencySymbolCode>27,82,3,35</CurrencySymbolCode>
    <ReceiptCutCode>27,109</ReceiptCutCode>
    <ReceiptWeightBoldCode></ReceiptWeightBoldCode><ReceiptWeightNormalCode></ReceiptWeightNormalCode>
    <ReceiptPrintCentreCode></ReceiptPrintCentreCode>
    <ReceiptPrintLeftCode></ReceiptPrintLeftCode>
    <BarcodeCode></BarcodeCode>
    <BarcodeEndCode></BarcodeEndCode>
    <DeviceName>ReceiptPrinter</DeviceName><DeviceDriver>WindowsDriver</DeviceDriver>
    <DeviceId>1</DeviceId>
    <ParentDeviceId>-1</ParentDeviceId>
    <DeviceCollection></DeviceCollection>
    </ReceiptPrinter>
    </Devices>

The system should now be configured. Have the user use the remote access system into Legend and have the user test it.

There is also a word document in the same folder mentioned above with screenshots and instructions called Legend Custom Client.docx.
