Writing to a serial port.

2
HI, I am trying to open a cash drawer connected to a serial port (com1), but I am having no luck trying to open it. here is the data that needs to be sent to the cash drawer, emailed to me from the manufacturer: -

To open the cash drawer, The ESC/POS command is as follows

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. ESC
  2.  
  3. 1B 70 m n1 n2
  4. m=00 01<n1<=n2   
  5. n1<=n2<FF
  6.  
  7. (OR “27,112,0,100,100”  in Decimal)
here is the c# code i'm using to open(kick) it.
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. byte[] code = { 27, 112, 0, 100, 100 };
  2.  
  3.             using (SerialPort s = new SerialPort())
  4.             {
  5.                 s.BaudRate = 9600;
  6.                 s.PortName = "com1";
  7.                 s.Parity = Parity.None;
  8.                 s.DataBits = 8;
  9.                 s.StopBits = StopBits.One;
  10.  
  11.                 s.Open();
  12.                 s.Write(code, 0, code.Length);
  13.                 s.Close();
  14.             }
But nothing happens, any idea's what I'm missing?
