Open drawer from Till not Printer

[GreatShakesBar]

I just pulled out an old till from stock room as I want to start using 2 tills.

I haven’t got a printer for the second till but it does have 2 RJ12 ports to allow the till drawer to plug in. It is a manufactured till.

Support isn’t too good on these because of age. Maxatec GT-150
