Cash Drawer Interface
Interface Description
The Series 150 Printer supports dual cash drawers with status. The driver in the printer is capable of
supplying 24 VDC at up to 1.5 amps and 250 milliseconds. The Series 150 Printer defines cash
drawer closed as switch open. If the drawer is disconnected, it will be viewed by the printer as closed.
Since the printer does not act on the cash drawer status, the application can interpret cash drawer
status any way it wants.
Interface Connectors
