Connecting the Cash Drawer
Specifications of drawers differ depending on makers or models. When you use a drawer other than specified,
make sure its specification meets the following conditions.
Otherwise, devices may be damaged.
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.
When the drawer open/close signal is used, a switch must be provided between drawer kick connector pins 3
and 6.
The resistance of the load, such as a drawer kick solenoid, must be 24
or more or the input current must be
1A or less.
Be sure to use the 24V power output on drawer kick connector pin 4 for driving the equipment.
Drawer Connection Diagram
Do not connect both the optional external buzzer and the cash drawer to the printer at the same
time by using a branched connector.
When the optional external buzzer is enabled with the memory switch (customized values) (see
"Software Settings" on page 57), a cash drawer cannot be used. Be sure to disable it when you use a
cash drawer.
Two driver transistors cannot be energized simultaneously.
Leave intervals longer than 4 times the drawer driving pulse when sending it continuously.
