How do I open my printer driven Interface Cash Drawer ?
MMF Cash Drawers that connect to a receipt printer, require the POS application to send the proper opening codes to the printer, which will then send the signal to open the Cash Drawer. Consult the software documentation for your particular printer for the proper open codes
Typically the open code is placed in a field or series of fields under a Configuration, Utilities or Setup portion of a POS application. For example, with an Epson printer the following code would be entered in your printer setup
