Indicate the cash drawer code to add or maintain.

Enter a description for the cash drawer you are adding.

If you are maintaining an existing cash drawer, then the description for the drawer is displayed, but can be changed.

Indicate the default float value to start with each time you use the cash drawer.

This float can be overridden within the Sales Order Entry program.

Enter up to 9 bytes of hexadecimal codes that are required to open the cash drawer automatically.

This hexadecimal code is hardware dependant, so you need to consult the hardware manual for your cash drawer to obtain the correct value for your specific cash drawer.

If you manually open your cash drawer, leave this field blank.

The hexadecimal codes you enter here are sent to the cash drawer each time you print a Counter Sales invoice or if the function to open a drawer is selected at the Customer field (order entry) or Order number field (order maintenance).

	If you define a hexadecimal code to open the cash drawer and your cash drawer is on the same port as your printer, then you cannot preview a document before printing it. This is irrespective of whether or not you selected to preview documents.

The codes are not sent for invoice reprints. If these codes are not defined, then an error message is displayed and you cannot continue.

Indicate the name of the device or port to which the cash drawer is connected if it is not on the same port as the printer.

The device name you enter here determines where the hexadecimal codes required to open the cash drawer are sent.

For example:

Under MS-DOS, if your printer is connected to your parallel port and the cash drawer is connected to the serial port, you could enter COM1:

Under UNIX, if you were using a central printer but each terminal had a cash drawer attached, you would enter /dev/tty. As part of the hexadecimal codes to open the cash drawer you will most likely need to include the codes to activate the port on the terminal to which the cash drawer is connected.
