Alpha 710ML User’s Guide
• The cash drawer automatically locks electronically when you turn the
cash register off. 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.
When you are using the cash drawer, make sure you lower the bill arms
before you close the cash drawer. Never slam the drawer closed.
