Frequently Asked Questions About Cash Drawers
How do Star Micronics cash drawers connect to a POS system?
Star Micronics cash drawers typically connect to a point of sale (POS) system through the drawer kick (DK) port on a compatible receipt printer using an RJ12 cable. Star also offers USB cash drawers that connect directly to POS terminals, tablets, and mobile POS systems for more flexible deployment.
What are the best cash drawers for busy restaurant and retail environments?
The best cash drawers for high-volume retail and restaurant environments are built with steel construction, secure locking mechanisms, and durable till components designed for frequent use. Star Micronics cash drawers, including the CD5 Max Series, are designed for fast-paced environments with printer-driven and USB connection options.
Are Star Micronics cash drawers compatible with any receipt printer?
Star Micronics cash drawers are compatible with many POS receipt printers that support standard drawer kick connections.

USB cash drawer models provide additional flexibility for systems that do not use a traditional printer-driven connection.
