POS serial printer doesn't open cash drawer
Post

Serial printer Star SP212
Prints OK
Serial1.bat contents:
@echo off
@mode com1:9600,n,8,1>nul
@echo >com1: (control-G)
@exit
Test with F4 from posconfg.exe opens cash drawer OK
After cash sale doesn't open cash drawer
Why?

From POSCONFIG, go to "Open Cash Drawer" and set the code to be sent to LPT1.
Then, enter the decimal codes 27, 7, 11, 55, 7, 0.
That should do the trick.

If you get it to work with DHPOS, please add it to the hardware list thread with any changes you had to make to get it to work..
Thx!

If you have the "Print recipts on printer" option under "program printer" in pos config turned off (no) it woulnt open the drawer.

It is a serial printer so sending the codes to LPT1 wouldn't work
It print receipts OK after each sale
It opens the cash drawer from the test F4 in posconfg/open cash drawer
It doesn't open the cash drawer after a sale

I know it's a serial printer, but selecting LPT1 does not actually send the code to that specific port, it sends the control codes out to the receipt printer on whichever port you have configured it on - be it LPT1, COM1 or FILE.
Trust me, it will work.

Well, It's not obvious, but it did work. Thank you CBL.
I was trying it in the posconfg/open cash drawer/test F4 which just gave printer errors in DOS and crashed POS in Win98.
By actually doing a sale I noticed that it did work.
