Chapter 2 Setup Connecting the Cash Drawer Use a cash drawer handled by Epson or your dealer. Connecting the Drawer Kick Cable 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. Use a shield cable for the drawer connector cable. Leave intervals longer than 4 times the drawer driving pulse when sending it continuously. Be sure to use the printer power supply (connector pin 4) for the drawer power source. Do not insert a telephone line into the drawer kick connector. WARNING 2 Doing so may damage the telephone line or printer. Connect the connector of the drawer kick cable to the printer. 35
