How to setup a printer to open cash drawer automatically?
Your cash drawer can be configured to automatically open when you print a receipt for each transaction.
Here are the steps you can take to configure your cash drawer.
Plug in the RJ12 connector cable (which looks similar to a phone line) from the cash drawer into your receipt printer.
Next, go to the Settings menu in Windows 10, select Devices, and select Printers & Scanners on the left-hand menu.
Select the printer you’d like to configure and click on the Manage button.
Next, click on the Printer Properties link and a window will open. From here, select the Device Settings tab.
Under Installable Options, find the Peripheral Unit Type and change it to ‘Cash Drawer’.
Change the Peripheral Unit 1 and Peripheral Unit 2 fields to ‘Document Bottom’ to have the drawer open after the receipt starts printing.
Click OK to save these settings and perform a test sale to see if it’s been configured properly.
Note:
If you want the cash drawer to trigger before the receipt prints, select ‘Document Top’ in Peripheral Units 1 and 2
