Hi All,

Does anyone know of a place that has code to find a Cash Drawer interface?

Thanks,
Anthony
 
Sorry, I can't point you to any particular site. You haven't given us much
info to go on... :-)

However, I can make a coule of suggestions...

In my (fairly limited experience) cash drawers are usually driven by a
special interface on a receipt printer.
If this is the case with the cash drawer you have, I would suggest you start
looking on the website of the receipt printer manufacturers, there maybe
some drivers you can download to program against...?

Otherwise, I assume the cash crawer has a serial/usb connection, in which
case, you need to know which serial/usb codes/signals it responds to. I
suggest you do a Google search for help on programming the serial port.

Good Luck!

Chris,

Thanks! Sorry for being so vague, but the drawer is on a system a few
hundred miles away, and I just wanted to see if it was possible before
spending an inordinate amount of time researching the project. I do believe
it's a serial device, so maybe once I found out all the necessary info, I'll
come back to this thread.

Thanks again,
Anthony
