FAQs
Can I adjust the size of the bill or coin slots?
The bill slots feature standard spring clips, but the 5 coin slots are fixed and cannot be resized to fit non-standard coin dimensions.
What happens if I lose the keys?
The drawer includes a manual emergency release on the bottom of the unit, which allows you to open it without a key if necessary.
Is this drawer compatible with all receipt printers?
It uses a standard POS connection, but you should verify that your printer has a dedicated RJ11/RJ12 cash drawer port.
Does the drawer require an external power source?
No, the drawer is powered directly by the signal sent from the receipt printer.
How do I clean the powder-coated finish?
Use a soft, slightly damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges, as these can strip the protective finish.
Troubleshooting
Drawer fails to open automatically
Verify the interface cable is fully seated in the receipt printer and ensure the POS software settings are correctly configured for drawer kick.
Drawer sticks or does not slide smoothly
Check the drawer rails for any obstructions or buildup of debris. Clean the track with a soft cloth and, if necessary, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the rails.
Drawer pops open unexpectedly
Ensure the lock is fully disengaged and not set to the release position. Check that the emergency release lever underneath the unit is not being obstructed by items beneath the drawer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the drawer for automatic operation, connect the integrated cable to the port on the back of your POS receipt printer. Ensure your POS software settings are configured to 'kick' the cash drawer upon completion of a cash sale. For manual operation, keep the provided key in an accessible yet secure location for administrative overrides. To care for the unit, regularly wipe the exterior with a dry cloth and ensure the internal rails remain free of dust or debris. Periodically check the spring clips to ensure they maintain sufficient tension to hold currency securely.
