Configuring multiple cash drawers
You can now attach more than one cash drawer to the POS system. This allows each employee to have their own drawer and be responsible for their own cash reconciliations.

Cash Drawer 1:
Plug the DK cable from the terminal to the cash drawer.
Cash Drawer 2:
- Plug the DK cable from the printer to the cash drawer.

Note: You cannot have a shift open when you enable this feature.
To enable multiple cash drawers:
-
Tap the Home icon.
-
Tap Settings.
