POS Cash Drawer open Cmd

[Peter Barfield]

Hi guys,

Wondering if someone can point me in the right direction. I am working on a POS system (only small) and at the moment all is progressing nicely. I have a touchscreen keypad that I have implemented not the in built one and am wondering how I would tell filemaker or more succinctly the cash drawer to open say if they pressed a button called open drawer (for arguments sake). I'm assuming that each cash drawer might be different in how this works buts let say it requires the F9 Key to be pressed to open it. How would one simulate this through the open drawer button?

Thanks in advance.

Most cash drawers can open via a recipe printer. So you connect the cash drawer to the printer with a RJ-11 plug. When you print to the printer, a setting in the printer driver can open the cash drawer at the same time.

This is the most straight forward way to open the cash drawer.
