Note that at this point it is likely that most/all of the printing is
being done, basically, in "image" mode. Using fonts and such from the
computer.
In this mode the special character would likely never be seen by the
printer as such.

Apparently this functionality doesn't exist in Evergreen, but that

Some printers (such as the Star SP512) have a place to connect a
cash drawer [1], then when you send a specific character (such as
CONTROL G (ASCII 7)[2] to the printer, it is sent to the cash
drawer and opens the cash drawer.
In such a case, you could include this character in your
bill/payment receipt templates and it would only open when you
printed one of those receipts.

an RJ12 cable)
