Star Micronics CD5 Cash Drawer: Built for Today’s High-Volume Retail
The Star Micronics CD5 Max Cash Drawer is the newest addition to Star’s lineup of POS cash drawers, designed with the flexibility, durability, and performance that modern retail POS systems demand. As part of the Star Micronics Max Series, the CD5 is built specifically for cash-heavy environments such as retail, grocery, hospitality, and convenience stores.
The Star Micronics CD4 Choice Cash Drawer, the previous generation of Star’s cash drawer lineup, has long been valued for its reliable performance and traditional 14" x 16" and 16" x 16" sizes, making it a dependable option for a wide range of POS environments.
Multiple Sizes for Any Checkout Environment
Unlike many standard POS cash drawers, the CD5 offers four size options to match a variety of checkout setups:
These size variations make it ideal for businesses ranging from compact convenience stores to high-volume grocery stores. Larger models provide more POS counter space and are built to handle large-volume transactions with ease with additional till space, which is an essential feature for busy retail operations.
Strong, Secure, and Built to Last
The CD5 features all-steel construction, giving businesses a rugged, long-lasting solution. Available in black, white, and black with stainless-steel front (available for 18” x 17” and 19” x 18” models), it blends seamlessly with modern point-of-sale setups.
Enhanced security features include:
- Dual locking mechanisms
- Under-till storage
- Up to three media slots
These make it a reliable option for secure cash handling in any environment.
Easy Integration With POS Systems
The CD5 is available in printer-driven and USB + printer-driven configurations; Star is currently evaluating compatible hardware and software options for the USB functionality.
A Warranty That Stands Out
One of the biggest advantages of the Star CD5 cash drawer is its impressive 5-year warranty, surpassing other Star Micronics cash drawer models and offering long-term peace of mind.
