the error is cleared.
The [CAN] command does not restore default conditions. It only clears the
print buffers.

The time period the drawer is activated can be changed in the configuration

Note: The open cash drawer commands are processed as part of print data.
They are not processed until they are found in the input buffer by the print
processor. They are not immediate commands.
Note: Cash Drawer 2 is factory configurable in one of two modes. Either Pin 1
or 5 is active depending on an internal jumper setting. The factory default is
Pin 1. Cash Drawer 1 is always on Pin 5.
The cash drawer status is defined as an open circuit for drawer closed.
