Need to open a cash drawer every time a document is printed ,
but the software you are using wont do the trick, or, you're not
sure your drawer/cable or printer is working? Follow these steps
to have Windows send the command every time a document is
printed. Requirements:
- Using a cash drawer connected to an Epson POS printer
through the drawer port (see diagram)
- Computer is running Windows (XP or later)
- Epson Printer Drivers are installed - there is an Epson
printer in the printers folder of the Windows Control Panel

Select
Send Command
You can have the driver send a command every time a document it
printed.
The command to enter is: 1B 70 00 C8 FA
Using the Send command as on option will generate a 200ms pulse to
the cash drawer #1 line.
Note: Do not connect a Cash Drawer to the POS108 when using the
Printer Alarm setting
as the alarm will not sound. |

(Alternative Method)
Choose

Select
Cash Drawer
Rig
Now you will see
Cash drawer #1
(2 Pins) and Cash Drawer #2 (5 Pins)
If you only have 1 cash drawer, use drawer #1
Each drawer has these options:
Select Open before printing or Open after printing to have
Windows issue the open drawer command every time a document is printed.
NOTE: This sends a very brief pulse of 25 ms and often does
not work. Use the Send Command, above.
Press OK

Select Open (before or) after printing |
