‍How to open the cash drawer on Nex

Important

• The cash drawer communicates directly with your printer, i.e. this process does not go through Nex. Every document sent to your printer generates a command to open the cash drawer. Then, on every impression made, the drawer will open.
  

• For this reason, it is important that your printer has this feature available with an RJ11 port, similar to a telephone.

1. After connecting the drawer to your printer, through the RJ11 input, it is necessary to configure the option to open the drawer in the printer driver itself. In the printer driver, you can choose to open before or after printing. This way, whenever Nex sends a print command, your printer will open the drawer.

‍

2. As this procedure is done outside Nex it is recommended to seek assistance from the technical support of your printer supplier, so that they can assist you in case of any doubts. If necessary, we are available to try to assist you with the configuration of the drawer on your printer.
