A cash drawer connects to your receipt printer and is triggered to open automatically when you finish a cash sale.

Most of the receipt printers have a special cash drawer connector, usually of RJ11 type. Refer to your receipt printer and cash drawer manuals to make sure they are compatible. As long as they are, and given the receipt printer is supported by IVEPOS Point of Sale, such a cash drawer can be used with IVEPOS Point of Sale as well.

Before connecting a cash drawer, your printer should be paired with IVEPOS Point of Sale as the counter printer.

Find the cash drawer socket on your receipt printer.
