I am building a POS system for the place where I work and I need to be able to send a command to the cash drawer to open on cash sale receipt printing. I need to pass one of the following values to the printer...along with the printed data.
ACSII: ESC, p, 0, 250
HEX: 1B, 70, 00, 19, FA
DEC: 27,112, 0, 25, 250
these strings passed to the printer prompt the cash drawer to open. does anyone know how to pass these values to the printer on a print job? this program will be run mainly on a windows machine, but I posted it here because I am a mac head, I am foremost a mac developer, and i've had much help here in the past. post here or email me at
macsatin@mac.com if you can help.
