Using the Cash Drawer
The cash drawer is where you put the money after you ring up a sale. The
cash drawer has slots for putting paper bills and a tray for coins. You can
store paper items such as checks and charge slips under the removable
coin tray.
When you ring up a sale, the cash drawer automatically opens so you can
make change and put money away. You can also open the cash drawer
without making a sale. This is handy if you need to make change for
someone or forgot to put something away.
The cash drawer locks in 2 different ways. Locking the cash drawer is a
good idea if you need to leave the cash register.
• The cash drawer automatically locks electronically when you move the
register key to the Off position. Remember to take the register key out if
you are leaving the register. The emergency open lever will still open the
cash drawer when it is electronically locked.
• You can also use the 515 key to mechanically lock the cash drawer. If you
lock the cash drawer this way, you must have the key to open it again.
Even the emergency open lever will not open the cash drawer. when it is
locked with the key.
Important
If the cash drawer will not open, see if the lock on the cash drawer is turned
to the right. If it is, the drawer is locked with the 515 key. You need the key to
unlock the cash drawer. If the key is lost or locked in the cash drawer,
contact Royal.
