  1. Media divider that snaps in and out of place for several organizational options.
  2. MultiPRO® interface that adapts to most POS platforms.
  3. Functional lock that offers several levels of security: locked closed, locked open, online or manual open depending on model.
  4. Narrow footprint that saves counter top space.

Connecting and Locking the Cash Drawer

  1. Place the cash drawer on a flat surface near your POS work center.

  2. Connect the POS printer interface cable to the MultiPRO® interface underneath or on the rear of the cash drawer, then connect the other end of the cable to the printer.

    The printer interface cable provided with the cash drawer is designed to work with HP POS printers. If you are connecting the cash drawer to a printer other than HP POS printers, select the appropriate interface cable for your printer model.

    HP Cash Drawers only support 24 volt printers. Connecting an HP Cash Drawer to a 12 volt printer may result in unpredictable performance , such as the cash drawer not opening or opening unexpectedly, in addition to the possible damage to the cash drawer and printer.

    Before using the cash drawer, it is recommended that you create a unique and secure lock and key system in accordance with your company's security policy. HP is not responsible for the security of the cash drawer, damage to the cash drawer, or the replacement of lost keys.
