Open USB Cash drawer

[asteadman]

Hi all,

I have a USB cash drawer attached to a simple EPOS DB I created, it has a built in Serial converter and is installed on COM5.

Does anyone know how to fire/open this in Access? I have researched and researched but cannot find a solution. I believe it needs an escape command sending to it or something sending but I cannot figure it out. Some people say the following code works, but not for me:

Open "COM5" For Output As #1
Print #1, Chr(27) & Chr(112) & Chr(32) & Chr(25);
Close #1

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers.

Andy

I have, I do not have access to the DLL that was being used in that instance.

Try removing the semi-colon at the end of the Print statement.

It might be waiting for a carriage-return to read the sequence.

Just a thought,
