How to Change Drawer ESC/POS Commands in the POS System

Step-by-step 

The cash drawer in the POS system operates using ESC/POS commands that communicate with the connected printer. If your cash drawer fails to open, you may need to update or modify these commands to match your POS terminal model. Different POS terminals, such as iMin and Sunmi, may require specific ESC/POS commands. 

Default Cash Drawer Commands

  • Standard Command: 1B,70,00,3C,FF
  • iMin POS Terminals: 10,14,00,00,00
