In this section you set the behaviour of the cash drawer. The cash drawer is connected to the receipt printer by default. Through the printer, the cash register sends an impulse to open the cash drawer. Therefore, you will also find a link to the print settings in this setting. Without a properly configured and connected printer, opening the cash drawer will not work.
In order for the cash register to display the options below, plug the cash drawer into the printer connected to the cash register and tap the ENABLE button.
Payment methods
