Hello all, I have a fujitsu 9313 cash drawer and I have an epson TM-300PD printer. The printer has a rj11 and the drawer has a rj45. Does anyone have the pin out of the cash drawer so I can fabricate a cable to work? I can figure the pinout of the printer with a meter..


Thanks

There is a program that lets you click a button to pop open a drawer. Did you try hooking the RJ-45 into your Computers' RJ-45 port?

What software and where?

Does anyone really have the pinouts to the fujitsu 9313 cash drawer?

this program was somewhere in the old POS forum with network54, try searching the archives, I dont know where it is. Then again, try hooking up the drawer into your computers RJ45 (Ethernet) port. Or buy some kind of Ethernet to USB converter (they do not exist I think :) )

Hooking a cash drawer up to the network port will, at best, do nothing. At worst, it could blow the network card and possibly damage the cash drawer. Cash drawers are very simple devices... it probably has 4 wires going into it's cable, 2 for "kick", and 2 for "detect". The kick leads just need some power, usually 24VDC, and it will pop right open.

If your printer can provide this, you only need to find the pin that puts out the positive signal. The neg lead can go right to the printer casing, any metal part. The hard part is finding out which lead on the drawer is positive and which pin on the printer is positive, the rest is easy.

Sounds like the cash drawer off a Fujitsu Teampos or Atrium. We fix these old things at work, but alas I sealed up the test rig with hotmelt glue!

Usually a cash drawer uses 4x cables, 2x for 24V + & - , 2x for the open/closed sensor.

I have the pin out of the printer. I need to know counting from left to right, which pin is which so i can make my cable to fit both rj11 and rj45...

Thanks
