The application may address the Cash Drawer port in a number of ways. They are:
1) Using the J2 supplied OPOS drivers for Windows 7, XP Pro, POSReady and XP
Embedded.
2) Using the J2 supplied Virtual COM port for CE.NET, Windows 7, XP Pro, POSReady
and XPE
3) Direct access to the I/O ports:
The Virtual COM port driver that is standard on Windows XP Pro, WEPOS and XP
embedded maps the cash drawers to COM 6 and COM7. These COM port numbers can
be changed by modifying using the J2 virtual port configuration utility. A reboot will be
needed for these changes to take effect.
To open Cash Drawer One: Send a bell character to the COM6 serial port. (The bell
character is the ASCII 07 hex character “Control G.”)
To open Cash Drawer Two: Send a bell character to the COM7 serial port.
The open/close status of the drawer may be obtained by reading the status bits of its
COM port. The drawer open/close status will be reflected on the CTS and RI bits, either
bit may be used. This virtual COM port driver is designed to work the same as serial cash
drawers and will work with drivers for serial cash drawers.
The Virtual COM port driver that is standard on Windows CE.NET and the cash drawer
appears as COM6.
To open Cash Drawer One: Send a bell character to the COM6 serial port. (The bell
character is the ASCII 07 hex character “Control G.”)
To open Cash Drawer Two: Send an ESC character, then a bell character to the COM6
serial port.
The open/close status of the drawer may be obtained by reading the status bits of COM6,
and the drawer open/close status will be reflected on the CTS and RI bits, either bit may
be used.
The OPOS drivers, Virtual Port drivers and a Cash drawer test program may be
downloaded from the J2 web site:

The cash drawer can be directly accessed through an I/O port, 48C hex. By outputting the
correct value to the port cash drawer one or two can be fired and the cash drawer status
can be read on the same port. The cash drawer solenoid should only be turned on for a
maximum of 100ms. Also note that cash drawer one and two solenoids should never be
turned on at the same time.
