 How to fire a cash drawer connected to an EPSON TM-T88ii POS Printer?

Hi,

I am using VB5 (SP3) and have a requirement to fire a cash drawer connected
to an EPSON TM-T88ii printer.  If I use the standard :

Printer.Font.Name = "control"
Printer.Print "A"
Printer.EndDoc

this will result in firing the cash drawer, but spitting out approx 1cm of
paper.  There is a way, (I believe) to use an API call to bypass this, but
I haven't a clue how to achieve this.

Any help would be grateful.

Regards

Ciaran

Try reverse engineering...if you have a program that can open the drawer,
then get a program to watch the API calls that are made to make this happen.
Alternatively, ask for a SDK from the manufacturer of the device...
