Print Receipt and open Cash Drawer

Hello,

I searched the Forum and found 2 answers regarding opening a cash drawer

We are about to by a receipt printer and a cash drawer and want to use this with FileMaker on a Windows PC on windows (later on mac os x too). The salesman told us, that it´s necessary to send some ascii code to the printer, which will sent an impulse to the cash drawer, that ist connected to the printer.

The answers here in the forum showed 2 other ways:

1) The printer dialog should have an appropriate option for the connected cash drawer

- this was denied by the salesman

2) The second solution s to use the Troi Serial PlugIn.

- as far as I know, this solution is for a cash drawer connected directly to the serial port, which is not the case

Can anybody tell me, how to open a cash drawer from FileMaker?

The EPSON Receipt printers can be configured with the printer driver to open the cash drawer.

Ralph,

What tills are you using? Interesting I've got this receipt printer, but never bothered looking into the drivers for opening the till.

Excellent little printer and works well with FM!

My customers have a noname till.

The till comes with [color:red]openDRW.exe

With SendEvent I send the following command line:

[color:blue]"CMD /c " & "C:TillopenDRW.exe com7 epson"

See attachment.
