2. Opening the cash drawer

Since most payments nowadays are made by card, the cash drawer is usually not needed/wanted to open every time. In this case, the cash drawer does not need to be wired. The cash drawer opens semi-automatically by turning the key.

However, if you want the cash drawer to open every time a receipt is printed, connect the cable to the cash drawer connector on the receipt printer and check the setting:
