Connecting the Cash Drawer
Required specifications of cash drawers
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 DK conn
ector.
•When the drawer open/close signal is used, a switch must be provided between DK connector
pins 3 and 6.
•The resistance of the load, such as a drawer kick-out 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 out connector pin 4 for driving the equip-
ment.
 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 external buzzer is enabled with the memory switch (see "Setting the
Memory Switches/Receipt Enhancement" on page 46), a cash drawer cannot be used.
Be sure to disable it when you use a cash drawer.
 Two driver transistors cannot be energized simultaneously.
 Leave intervals longer than 4 times the drawer driving pulse when sending it
continuously.
