My 182 parallel interface cash drawer shares a port with a laser printer. Why does the cash drawer fail to open consistently?
In some instances, the printer driver for laser printers can interfere with the data communication directed to the parallel port by a software application to open the cash drawer. In those situations, it may be best to separate the printer from the cash drawer and operate each on their own parallel port.
