Not able to open cash drawer using command.

[amrutakawale]

Hi,

I am using 'electron-pos-printer' to print receipts in my Windows electron app, but cash drawer functionality is not working as expected.
Expected behaviour: The cash drawer should open only for cash/cheque payment methods.
Current behaviour: The cash drawer is opened for all payment methods. I am using STAR TSP100 Cutter printer.
I reached out to the Star Support Team, and they suggested the below code:

My current implementation is:

const { PosPrinter } = require("electron-pos-printer");

ipcMain.on("printOrderInfo", (event, count, printContent, isCashOrCheck) => {
const printers = mainWindow.webContents.getPrinters();
let printerInfo = printers.find((printer) =>
printer.name.includes("Star TSP100 Cutter")
);

if (!printerInfo) {
console.log("Star TSP100 Cutter Printer is not available for Print.");
return;
}

const options = {
preview: false, // Preview in window or print
width: "100%" , // width of content body
margin: "0 0 0 0" , // margin of content body
copies: 1, // Number of copies to print
printerName: printerInfo.name, // printerName: string, check it at webContent.getPrinters()
timeOutPerLine: 400,
silent: true,
};

for (let index = 0; index < count; index++) {
const data = [
{
type: "text", // 'text' | 'barCode' | 'qrCode' | 'image' | 'table'
value: printContent[index],
css: {
"text-align": "center",
},
},
];
PosPrinter.print(data, options)
.then(() => {})
.catch((error)=> {
console.error("Failed to Print. Please try again. " + error);
});
}
});

I want to trigger a command to open a cash drawer with the type "raw" As the Star team suggested.

Could you please help me with that?

Thank you in advance!
