Opening the Cash Drawer
Many POS terminals support opening the cash drawer by sending a set of control codes to the receipt printer. OpenVPMS supports this through the Printer Name and Drawer Command fields.
OpenVPMS will send the drawer command to the receipt printer when:
- a payment containing Cash, Cheque, or Credit line item is finalised
- a payment containing an EFT line item with non-zero Cashout is finalised
- a refund containing a Cash, Cheque or Credit line item is finalised
Consult your POS terminal vendor for the appropriate control codes to use.
Alternatively, see this list.
