We don't need any printers on our Yacht Club POS system, so we have a Cashdrawer triggering module on comm1 that works nicely by sending a echo UUUUU >> com1 via a batch file and activated via Setup/Payment Methods.
Is there a way to get this batch file to trigger with the Open Drawer command or F11? I considered adding a string onto the F11 keyboard key with AutoHotkey might work, but I thought I would come to the Guru first as you probably have a neater solution!
Many thanks

One option is to use one of the User buttons. These can be linked to a program or website. Have the link point to a application that opens the drawer and then quits. The standard for opening a drawer is the 'bell' character (ASCII 7). Use the Tools / Arrange Function Buttons to add the User 1 button to the sales screen. Use the Settings / General to enter the path to the applet. Also, you can use the Settings / Terminology to change User 1 to Open. You can find a applet on the internet or make a script to send the ASCII 7 to the com port.
