Description The [ESC] x <n> command charges the cash drawer, <n>, for 150 ms.
Where <n> = <1> (01H) or 1 (31H) for Cash Drawer 1
<2> (02H) or 2 (32H) for Cash Drawer 2
The time period that drawer is activated can be changed in the
configuration menu. Activation time ranges from 25 ms to 250 ms.
Note 1: Cash drawer open commands are processed as part of print data.
They are not immediate commands and are not processed until found in
the input buffer by the print processor.
Note 2: Cash Drawer 2 is factory configurable in one of two modes. Either
pin 2 or 3 is active depending on an internal jumper setting. The factory
default is pin 3. Cash Drawer 1 is always on pin 2. The cash drawer
status is defined as an open circuit for drawer closed.
[ESC] v Perform Auto Cut
ASCII [ESC] v
Hexadecimal 1BH 76H <n>
Decimal <27><118>
IPCL &%FC
EPOS [ESC] i or [ESC] m
Description The [ESC] v command operated the auto cutter.
This command will automatically feed paper to the black dot before the
auto cut. After the cut, the printer will relocate the paper to prevent the
sticky part of the label from coming to rest at a point that may cause it to
stick to internal parts of the printer.
Note: Defeating the alignment to the black dot or using paper without
black dots on sticky back paper will void the printer warrantee.
Note: If the printer does not have black dot paper installed the auto cut will
not attempt to feed to black dot.
Note: The auto cutter is optional. If the auto cutter is not installed this
command will be ignored.
