Interface Description
The POSjet
®
1500 Printer supports dual cash drawers with status. The driver in the printer is capable of supplying
24 V DC at up to 1.5 amps and 250 milliseconds. The POSjet
®
1500 Printer defines cash drawer closed as switch
open. If the drawer is disconnected, the printer considers it closed. Since the printer does not act on the cash drawer
status, the application can interpret cash drawer status any way it wants.
Driver connector type (standard) Single RJ12 connector (6 pin) with 24V sink drivers
Driver voltage 24 volts (Refer to power supply specification)
Driver current 1 amp maximum with current limit
Pulse duration 250 msec maximum
Drawer status Open/close drawer status provided to printer
The cash drawer interface can be configured for one of three configurations. The Communications Interface card
Board has a 14-pin header with a 10-pin shunt installed on it. The shunt position defines the configuration of the
Cash Drawer. There are three settings, Ithaca
®
, Epson, and Star.

For DC powered printers, the cash drawer is supplied directly from the DC input supply. The cash drawer
requirements may effect the allowable range of voltages.
