Cash drawer troubleshooting
This article applies to Dutchie POS and Greenbits.
Drawer doesn't open
-
Make sure the drawer is unlocked, with the keyhole in a vertical position.
-
If you can open the drawer with the key but it won't open automatically when you complete a sale, check the cable connection on the bottom of the drawer.
-
Disconnect and reconnect the cable, pressing until you hear a click.
-
Inspect the cable for any signs of damage and confirm the cable is connected to the port on the bottom of the receipt printer.
-
- Troubleshoot the receipt printer. If the receipt printer isn't connected to the Register terminal, the cash drawer is also not connected to the Register terminal.
Drawer doesn't close
- Make sure the drawer is unlocked, with the keyhole in a vertical position. The drawer won't close if the keyhole is in the locked (horizontal) position.
- See the next section and make sure that debris, coins, or bills are not blocking the inner drawer track.
Remove the till insert and inspect the opening mechanism
-
Unlock and pull the cash drawer all the way out, then remove the plastic till insert.
-
Inspect the interior for debris, damage, or stuck bills or coins.
-
Replace the till insert and close the drawer.
-
Try reopening the drawer with the key to test the opening mechanism.
