Conditions for Using the Drawer Kick Connector
Drawer specifications differ significantly depending on the manufacturer and the model. Make sure that the
specifications of the drawer used meet the following conditions when connected to the drawer kick connector.
These conditions also apply to any other devices to be connected to the drawer kick connector.
Never use a drawer (or other devices) that does not meet all of the following conditions:
[Conditions]
The load, such as a drawer kick solenoid, must be connected between pins 4 and 2 or pins 4 and 5 of the drawer
kick connector. (*1)
When the drawer open/close signal that indicates the state of the drawer is used, a switch must be provided
between drawer kick connector pins 3 and 6. (*2)
The resistance of the load, such as a drawer kick solenoid, must be 24 Ω or more or the input current must be 1
A or less. (*3)
Make sure to use the drawer kick connector 4 pin (24 V power supply) for driving the drawer. Never connect
any other power supply to the drawer kick connector. (*4)
The peak current is 1 A. See item (2) below for power status.
*1: Proper operation is not guaranteed with different connections.
*2: Proper operation is not guaranteed with different connections or connection to a component other than a
switch.
*3: Connection to equipment whose resistance is less than 24 Ω or whose input current is more than 1 A may
cause an overcurrent and damage the connected equipment as well as the printer.
*4: Operation is not guaranteed with other power supplies.
