FAQ# 1030: How do I get the cash drawer to open?
Question
How do I get the cash drawer to open?
Answer
Manual drawer: Make sure the drawer is unlocked and then press the front panel inwards once to open.
Printer Driven: Make sure the drawer is connected to your POS receipt printer and that the printer driver is installed. There are two ways that this model of drawer opens.
-
The drawer opens whenever the receipt printer prints: this is an option enabled in the print driver (sometimes by default)
-
The drawer opens from the software: there is an option in some POS software that will send a command to the printer to open the drawer (Open drawer button).
