Just got a new cash drawer which is hooked up to a new Epson TM-T88V receipt printer.  What is the Atrex 12 command please?  Thanks.
Com port.

If the printer is not new and you are just replacing the cash drawer, the existing codes should work as the open drawer codes are printer specific rather than cash drawer specific.  If you do not already have the codes configured, you will need to consult your user manual for the printer or query the manufacturer.

Both are new for this location so it has never been set up before.  Atrex 12 has options for Com1 and LPT1 etc but this Epson Tm-T88V printer is connected via USB.  The Cash drawer just has the 6 wire jack connecting to the back of it.  The receipt printer works perfectly other than the fact that I can't find the command to open the cash drawer.  The Epson site is of no help.
Thanks for your input.

Since the drawer connects to the printer, the printer driver will have an option in the setup to open the drawer after a print job.  You need to find that option in the printer driver setup and enable it.  Once that is done, the drawer will pop whenever you print to the receipt printer.  Beyond that, you can also tell Atrex to use that same printer driver to open the drawer when using the open drawer function.

Hi Terry,
I did already find that option for the printer driver to 'sound an external bell' which uses the same pulse but that didn't work.  So I was thinking I could tell Atrex to do it when printing (like I have set up on the other machine) but I don't know what code to put in Atrex with the printer hooked up via USB.
Thanks,
Johnny

There is no code for Atrex when the printer is USB as the drawer is opened by the print driver only.
 
There is an option in the print driver specific to the cash drawer, it is not 'sound an external bell'.

Use the printer options from the driver not from windows. For Epson the option to open cash drawer before receipt print or after is in the options. You need the full driver and option package from Epson was anout 60 - 70 MB.

Thanks Mark and Terry.
I figured that pulse for the external bell (when connected to the same 6 wire jack) would work.  I'll get the whole driver package and see what options are there.
