Here are a few example codes for the Epson system driver, they might not work with other drivers or printers:
A - open cash drawer
a - open cash drawer 2
F - full cut
z - label or BM cut
P - partial cut
For example, if you want to open first cash drawer and cut paper enter AF into the Sequence before printing field.

Try the following code to open cash drawer: %1b%70%00%32%64
Some Epson printers may also use: %1b%70%00%40%f0
