Cash drawer
A single connector can drive either a single cash drawer or two cash drawers using a special cable. The
connector provides a status line if one of the cash drawers is open. The cash drawer cannot be activated
while the printer is operating.

Note: To ensure reliable operation, the printer reduces throughput when printing higher densities or
continuous (no pause) paper feeding. This might affect overall throughput. Optimize print density to
maximum throughput.
The reduced print speed is based on the number of print dots that are turned on for a given print
line, which is defined as dot utilization. Dot utilization typically is low for normal character printing
and up to 100% for full black line printing. SureMark single-station printers operates at 80 lps at low
dot utilization, and at slower speeds as the dot utilization increases. It is also controlled by receipt
motor use.
