Additional Cash Drawer Setup Information

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Most cash drawers will be connected to the receipt printer, but in some installations this is not possible, so you’ll need to use a drawer with a serial or USB cable that connects directly to the computer.

You must activate the option to use the cash drawer by entering codes for the cash drawer.  It is assumed that the cash drawer connects to the printer with a small cable.
