Cash drawer NOT open after receipt print

[Paresh Patel]

I use following code to do two task,  1) print receipt and then 2) open cash drawer, BUT it only print receipt,it does NOT open cash drawer :(

qz.append("\x1B\x40"); // reset printer 
qz.append("Receipt Text Samples 1\r\n"); // text on receipt
qz.append("Receipt Text Samples 2\r\n"); // text on receipt
qz.append("\r\n");
qz.append("\x1B\x40"); //reset printer 
qz.append("\x1D\x56\x41"); // cut paper 
qz.append(chr(27) + "\x70" + "\x30" + chr(25) + chr(25)); //open cash drawer code
qz.print();

When I only run code for opening cash drawer like following code, it will work and open cash drawer. Means hardware support opening cash drawer.

qz.append(chr(27) + "\x70" + "\x30" + chr(25) + chr(25)); //open cash drawer code
qz.print();

Summary

Only Print Receipt it works
qz.append("Receipt Text Samples 1\r\n"); // text on receipt
qz.print();
Output: print receipt successfully 

Only Open Cash Drawer it works 
qz.append(chr(27) + "\x70" + "\x30" + chr(25) + chr(25)); //open cash drawer code
qz.print();
Output: Open Cash Drawer successfully 

For print receipt and then open cash drawer
qz.append("Receipt Text Samples 1\r\n"); // text on receipt
qz.append(chr(27) + "\x70" + "\x30" + chr(25) + chr(25)); //open cash drawer code
qz.print();
Output: print receipt successfully but cash drawer does NOT open !

Question :  What to do for print receipt and then open cash drawer ? please write sample code if possible.

Helo Paresh,

 

Can you try this :

qz.append("\x1B\x40\r"); // reset printer 

qz.append("Receipt Text Samples 1\r\n"); // text on receipt

qz.append("Receipt Text Samples 2\r\n"); // text on receipt

qz.append("\r\n");

qz.append("\x1D\x56\x41\r"); // cut paper 

qz.append(chr(27) + "\x70" + "\x30" + chr(25) + chr(25) + "\r"); //open cash drawer code

qz.print();

 

You can change open cash drawer code like “\x1B\x70\x30\x19\x19\r” too.

I hope this can help you.

 

Rgds,

Siau Pheng

  You can change open cash drawer code like “\x1B\x70\x30\x19\x19\r” too.

 I have tried above but it did NOT worked.

Finally i thought and call separate call one for printing receipt and then for opening cash drawer and it did worked but its taking time in opening cash drawer due to separate call.

btw, Thanks Siau Pheng for the reply.

Paresh,

 

I dont know why in your code is not running, but in my code is running well.

All code print, opencashdrawer and cutting paper is working in one print() call.

 

My code like this :

 

qz.append("\x1B\x40\r"); // ESC @

qz.append("\x1B\x70\x30\x19\x19\r"); // if open drawer on begin

qz.append("\x1B\x21\x10\r\x1b\x61\x01\rSTORE NAME\r\n\x1B\x21\x01\rCITY\r\n\x1b\x61\x00\r");

qz.append("\n");

qz.append("Content ... bla bla bla\n");

qz.append("Content ... bla bla bla\n");

qz.append("Content ... bla bla bla\n");

qz.append("\n");

qz.append("\x1D\x56\x41\r"); // cut paper

//qz.append("\x1B\x70\x30\x19\x19\r"); // if open drawer on end

qz.print();

 

You can see, maybe you can try move up open cash drawer code to execute first before content. In my code, user can select choice want to open cash drawer at begin or end.

Hi Siau Pheng

On which receipt printer (name, brand) this code works fine ?
