Cash Drawer

cash drawer is a convenience tool for managing cash transactions at the point of sale. It is used in conjunction with front-end sales software and POS (Point of Sale) terminals. There are two ways to use a cash drawer:

For customers without front-end sales software, the cash drawer can be opened and closed using a key. Cash drawers are available in both 4-compartment and 5-compartment models.
For customers with front-end sales software and a computer, the cash drawer will open and close automatically upon completing a transaction. This is suitable for convenience stores, restaurants, and various sales points.

The cash drawer can be connected in two ways:

Directly to a thermal receipt printer using an RJ11 standard port or a telephone jack.
Directly to a computer using a USB port, serial port, or parallel port. Customers must have software to open the drawer.

**Note: After connecting the drawer to the receipt printer, customers must configure the printer settings to open the drawer after or before printing a receipt.
