For the plethora of benefits, the cash drawers offer, they are necessary for all businesses for increasing their operational efficiency.
It is essential to invest in software that is used for the opening and closing of the drawers. The software operated drawers can more securely be protected from theft. They are available as independent units or attached to cash registers. The registers can be joined to all receipt printers that can be opened or closed with lock and key.

Different Types of Cash Drawers


Printed-Driven Drawer:

The terminal/ printer driven cash drawer requires cables. They function by being plugged into the receipt printers that help in opening and closing the cash drawers. Some are available with the interface cables which support the Epson and Star Micronics printers.

USB Drawer:

The serial/ USB cash drawers have applications everywhere. In case the POS terminal has the additional USB port, you have to ensure that the additional application should be in-sync with a cash drawer. Most of the POS terminals have compatibility with printers which effectively communicate with cash drawers.
Before investing in the serial cash drawers, ensure you get adequate support from a POS supplier. The cash drawer requires supplementary electronics that communicate with the POS applications, and this increases the price of the drawers.

Serial RS232 Drawer:

The protocol of communication of the Serial RS 232 Drawer is ‘RS 232’. POS terminals that have the serial port are unavailable at the off-the-shelf computers. If the POS dealer needs the ‘Serial RS 232’ cash drawer, he can choose from the plethora of options available.

Manual Drawer:

A cost-effective drawer that can be operated manually is the manual cash drawer. Such type of drawer can be operated with the help of the ‘push-button.’ It is possible to operate such drawers with the help of key and lock. If the drawer is manually locked, you cannot use the push button.

Flip Top Cash Drawer:

The flip-top cash drawer finds wide application in small POS environments.

With a fair idea of the different types of cash drawers and cash drawer accessories, it would be easier for you to invest in the right cash Drawer for a business. For more information, call our pos expert @  0291883434
