Star Micronics Cash Drawers — Printer-Driven Cash Drawers for Star POS Printers
Star Micronics cash drawers are designed to work in conjunction with Star receipt printers, connecting via the printer's built-in DK (drawer kick) port. When a sale is completed and the receipt prints, the printer sends a signal through the DK cable to open the cash drawer automatically — no separate USB connection or software driver required. POS Plaza stocks the Star SCD-100 cash drawer, compatible with the Star TSP100, TSP600, TSP700, and TSP800 series receipt printers. $149.00 inc GST. In stock. Ships Australia-wide.

Frequently asked questions — Star Micronics cash drawers
Q: How does a printer-driven cash drawer work?
A: A printer-driven cash drawer connects to the receipt printer's DK (drawer kick) port using a standard RJ-11 or RJ-12 telephone-style cable. When the POS software sends a print command to open the drawer — typically at the end of a sale — the printer relays a brief electrical pulse through the DK port, which triggers a solenoid inside the cash drawer to release the spring-loaded till. The drawer pops open without any additional software, driver, or USB connection. This is the standard setup for most retail and hospitality POS configurations.
Q: Which Star printers is the SCD-100 compatible with?
A: The Star SCD-100 is compatible with Star Micronics receipt printers that have a built-in DK port, including the TSP100 series (TSP143, TSP143III), TSP600 series, TSP700 series, and TSP800 series.
