v When operating in RS-485 mode, the +38 V dc is converted to +24 V dc and the

+5 V dc is passed straight through.

v When operating in RS-232 or USB mode or RS-485 mode in Japan, the +24 V

dc is passed through and is also converted to +5 V dc.

 

Note: Both voltage sources should not be connected to the printer at the same

 

time, even if one of the sources is powered off. System damage could occur

 

under these conditions.

Cash Drawer Connector Pin Assignments

The SureMark printers have a single cash drawer connector. This connector can drive either a single cash drawer (see “Description of Models” on page 4 for the cable part number) or two cash drawers using a special cable. The connector also provides a status line which indicates if one of the cash drawers is open.

Drive voltage for each cash drawer solenoid is 24 V dc at a current of 1 ampere.

Connector pins are assigned as follows:

Pin Signal

1Not Connected

2Solenoid 1 Driver

3Cash Drawer Status

4+24 V dc

5Solenoid 2 Driver

6Ground

The cash drawer solenoids should be connected between pins 4 and 2 for cash drawer 1 and between pins 4 and 5 for cash drawer 2. A Ycable is required to bring out all the appropriate lines to attach the two units.

The cash drawer status line has a 10k resistor pull-up connected to the +5 V dc.

Note: The drawer sensor should switch pin 6 to pin 3 when the drawer is open.

RS-232 Connector Pin Assignments

SureMark printers contain a 9-pin D-shell connector port for RS-232 communication. This port is on the interface card, accessible under the printer without removing printer covers. The connector has the following pin functions:

1Not Connected

2Transmit
