Cash Drawer doesn't open unless you print a receipt
« on: August 17, 2010, 11:41:23 AM »
Hi folks again!

How to get the cash drawer to open without having to print a receipt for every transaction?

Cash drawer: CD-005A
Receipt printer: Epson TM-T88III


I'm currently using the command: 1B 70 30 28 28 under document settings.

I am trying to remember, but I thought you could send a line feed and drawer open code upon a no sale or no receipt transaction.

Can you please inform me how?
I already contacted both cash register and printer companies 
And they told me it's a setting in the pos.

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

Can you just set the receipt setting to "On Demand" instead of "after each sale"?

It's already set "on demand".

According to Epson's site, here are the codes to kick the drawer:

ESC p m t1 t2
[Name] Generate pulse
[Format] ASCII ESC p m t1 t2
Hex 1B 70 m t1 t2
Decimal 27 112 m t1 t2
[Range] m = 0, 1, 48, 49
0 = t1 = 255
0 = t2 = 255
[Description] Outputs the pulse specified by t1 and t2 to connector pin
m to open the cash drawer,
as follows:
· t1 specifies the pulse ON time as [t1 × 2 ms].
· t2 specifies the pulse OFF time as [t2 × 2 ms].

Hi Henny, and thanks for your reply.

I've been trying with the codes you gave me, but I'm little bit confused, are those applied in the document settings under the printer preferences in windows, or under qs2k settings?

Again, working from memory (it has been 10 years) I believe they go in the QS settings under the printer setup. I do remember them being a pain to find.

You're not kidding, they're driving me crazy!

Would you able to figure it out if you had a direct access to the PC ?

It's been A LONG time since I did anything with Quicksell however the problem might not be with the program - it might be with the printer.

IF you setup the printer as a windows printer and not an OPOS printer then you can configure the Windows driver to kick the drawer when a receipt is printed but the windows driver has limited functionality so it can't be configured to simply kick the drawer on demand.

Is the printer setup using Epson's Windows drivers?
