Connecting the Cash Drawer Use a cash drawer handled by EPSON or your dealer. • 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 buzzer is set to "Enabled" with the memory switch (see "Setting the Memory Switches/Receipt Enhancement" on page 43 ), a cash drawer cannot be used. Be sure to set it to “Disabled“ when you use a cash drawer. Connecting the Drawer Kick-out 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-out solenoid, must be connected between pins 4 and 2 or pins 4 and 5 of the drawer kick-out connector. ∗ When the drawer open/close signal is used, a switch must be provided between drawer kick-out connector pins 3 and 6. ∗ The resistance of the load, such as a drawer kick-out solenoid, must be 24 Ω or more or the input current must be 1A or less. ∗ Be sure to use the 24V power output on drawer-kick out connector pin 4 for driving the equipment. • Use a shield cable for the drawer connector cable. • Two driver transistors cannot be energized simultaneously. • Leave intervals longer than 4 times the drawer driving pulse when sending it continuously.
• Do not insert a telephone line into the drawer kick-out connector. Doing so may damage the telephone line or printer. WARNING Connect the connector of the drawer kick-out cable to the printer. Drawer kick-out cable Drawer kick-out connector 54
