Discover and Activate a New Networked Cash Drawer

Discover new networked cash drawers using the Manage Networked Cash Drawer menu option. These steps are only required for new networked cash drawers.

1. From the Main menu, select Till then Manage Networked Cash Drawers. The list of networked cash drawers displays. If this is the first time drawers are being discovered the list may be empty.

   Note:

   If a networked cash drawer has a status of Reset extra steps are required. This is the status that is shown when Xstore does not recognize the configurations found upon discovery of the cash drawer. A hard reset is required. Refer to your IP Cash drawer device documentation for instructions on resetting the networked cash drawer.
