USB & Serial Cash Drawers

A USB cash drawer connects straight to your computer or POS terminal and is opened by your POS software, rather than being triggered by a receipt printer. This is the right choice when you are not running a compatible printer-driven setup, or when you want the till software to control the drawer directly. POS Plaza stocks USB cash drawers from Posiflex and HP, from around $279 inc GST.

USB-driven vs printer-driven cash drawers

A USB cash drawer plugs into the computer and opens on a command from your POS software, so it does not depend on a receipt printer. A printer-driven cash drawer connects to the receipt printer and opens when a receipt prints. Choose USB if your POS supports it or you are not using a compatible printer; choose printer-driven for the most common traditional POS setup.
