Cash Drawer Setup
To configure a cash drawer connected to a kiosk or POS station, navigate to the Settings screen and click the Cash Drawer button.
Configuring a Cash Drawer Connected to a Receipt Printer
If your cash drawer is connected to a receipt printer that is directly connected to the station computer, follow these steps:
- Check the box labeled Check this box if your cash drawer is connected to a receipt printer.
- Click the Test Connection button to verify that the cash drawer opens correctly using the current settings.
- Click the OK button to save your configuration.
No additional configuration is required when the cash drawer is connected through a receipt printer.
Configuring a Cash Drawer Connected Directly to the Computer
If your cash drawer is connected directly to the station computer, you must provide additional configuration details:
- Make sure the Check this box if your cash drawer is connected to a receipt printer checkbox is unchecked.
- Enter the Cash Drawer Codes in the corresponding field. These are numerical codes separated by commas that instruct the cash drawer to open. You can obtain these codes from the cash drawer manufacturer or by referring to the cash drawer's user manual.
- Enter the appropriate port identifier in the Port field. Depending on how the cash drawer is connected, this may be a COM port, LPT port, or another supported port identifier.
- Click the Test Connection button to verify that the cash drawer opens correctly with the settings you entered. Repeat this test whenever you modify the configuration to ensure the settings are correct.
Automatic Cash Drawer Opening
You can also configure the software to automatically open the cash drawer whenever an invoice is fully paid and saved.
To enable this feature, check the box labeled Open the cash drawer when an invoice is fully paid and saved.
Saving Your Changes
Once you have completed the configuration, click the OK button to save all changes made on the Cash Drawer Setup screen.
