B. Switch Settings
Banks A and B define the ASCII character(s) that the cash drawer will recognize as its opening sequence. Refer to Chart
#1 for the proper switch settings for a particular ASCII character. Refer to the software supplier to determine the ASCII
sequence used as the cash drawer opening code. If one ASCII character is sent by the software package to open the cash
drawer, then only switch bank A must be set to match this character. Bank B settings will be ignored in one character
mode. If two characters are sent by the software package to open the cash drawer, then Bank A is the first character, and
Bank B is the second character.
Bank C interprets the COM port parameters of the signal. Bank C switch settings are defined as follows:
