Generate pulse to open cash drawer
ASCII ESC p n p 1 p 2
Hexadecimal
1B 70 n p 1 p 2
Decimal 27 112 n p 1 p 2
Value of n:
00, 48 (Decimal) = Drawer 1;
01, 49 (Decimal) = Drawer 2
Value of p1:
0–255
Value of p2: 0–255
Sends a pulse to open the cash drawer.
Formulas
The value for either p1 or p2 is the hexadecimal number multiplied by 2 msec to equal the total time.
• On-time = p1 (Hex) x 2 msec
• Off-time = p 2 (Hex) x 2 msec
Related information
Off-time is the delay before the printer performs the next operation. Refer to cash drawer specifications for required on
and off-time.
Release Paper
ASCII
ESC q
Hexadecimal 1B 71
Decimal
27 113
Description
Releases the slip paper as follows:
If receipt paper was selected, this command opens the platen to allow slip removal.
If the slip was selected, the printer enters the paper removal waiting state after releasing the paper. After 2 seconds, it
enters receipt paper mode.
Set current color
ASCII ESC r m
Hexadecimal
1B 72 m
Decimal 27 114 m
Default of m:
0 (monochrome)
This command will set the current color to the color m for all character data that may follow this command and all
graphic objects (bit images) that have not been explicitly loaded as two-color.
m = 0 (monochrome) is the initial value
m = 1 (two-color paper “primary color”, usually black)
m = 2 (second color available from two-color paper)
The m values 0 and 1 will not have a distinguishable effect; 0 is the initial value and provides parameter value
consistency with other commands.
