Estaba trabajando en la implementación de ESC / POS (Código estándar de Epson para el punto de venta) en una impresora de cocina (Aclas KP71M).
Tengo una interfaz de usuario, el usuario de POS ingresa su cadena en la interfaz de usuario y las cadenas ingresadas por el usuario se enviarán a la impresora y la impresora imprime los datos.
La interfaz de la impresora con la computadora host mediante Ethernet (100M) mediante una conexión TCP / IP.
Me las arreglé para integrar cada uno de los comandos necesarios en un método de C # y también tomo un código de ejemplo en la conexión de C # del servidor / cliente y traté de incluirlo en mi conexión.
El problema al que me enfrento ahora mismo es que mi código parece iniciar la conexión pero se congela de inmediato sin hacer nada y detuvo la conexión. Estaría muy agradecido si alguien me puede corregir, o me muestra dónde está el problema, o ¿Me da alguna idea de cómo proceder?
Aquí está el código.
