Description
The [ESC] x <n> command energizes the Cash Drawer n for 150 milliseconds.
Where <n>: <1> (01H) or 1 (31H) for Cash Drawer 1
<2> (02H) or 2 (32H) for Cash Drawer 2
The time period the drawer is activated can be changed in the configuration menu.
The activation time can be set from 25 to 250 milliseconds.
Notes
1. The open cash drawer commands are processed as part of the print data. They
are not immediate commands. They are not processed until they are found in the
input buffer by the print processor.
2. Cash Drawer 2 is factory configurable in one of two modes. Either Pin 1 or 5 is
active depending on an internal jumper setting. The factory default is Pin 1. Cash
Drawer 1 is always on Pin 5.
3. The cash drawer status is defined as an open circuit for drawer closed.
Function
Print suppress and data pass-through
ASCII
[ESC] < <n>
Hexadecimal
1BH 3CH <n>
Decimal
<27> <60> <n>
IPCL
&%PT <n>
EPOS
[ESC] = <n>
Description
The [ESC] < <n> command provides print suppress and data pass-through features.
Where:
Bit 0
Printer select
Bit 1
Pass-through (On)
Bits 2 - 7 Undefined
If Bit 0 is clear, the printer will stop processing data. If Bit 1 is set, the data will be
passed through the printer and be sent out on the serial port.
Notes
1. The pass-through command is processed as part of the print data. The data are
not processed until they are found in the input buffer by the print processor.
They are not immediate commands. The printer must be on-line and ready to
activate the command.
2. If the printer is configured for parallel operation, the data will still pass-through
on the serial port. The serial port is not generally connected.
3. The operation of the command can be altered by the print suppress configuration
and requires that the pass-through and print-suppress functions be enabled in the
configuration menu.
4. These commands will not function when Series 50 compatibility is turned on.
(Series 50 pass-through must be used.)
5. Multidrop is operational during suppress and pass-through. If a multidrop
address is present in the pass-through data, it will be processed.
