How does the UC-100 work?
Normally you would connect the cash drawer to the receipt printer. The way the electrical opening of a cash drawer works is that the receipt printer sends an electronic pulse when it’s printing a receipt - this opens the cash drawer.
The UC-100 basically replaces the receipt printer. In the POS software, instead of selecting a printer you need to point the software to the COM port where the UC-100 is connected to. (check this in windows device manager, under Com & LPT ports).
There is no specific protocol to open the cash drawer via the UC-100. Any command given to the COM port will send a signal through the UC-100 to open the drawer. For example a simple DOS command like echo hello > COM4 is enough.
