Chapter 3: Getting To Know the Cash Register
Using the Cash Drawer
The cash drawer is where you put the money after you ring up a sale. The cash drawer has slots for putting paper bills and a tray for coins. You can store paper items such as checks and charge slips under the removable coin tray.
When you ring up a sale, the cash drawer automatically opens so you can make change and put money away. You can also open the cash drawer without making a sale. This is handy if you need to make change for someone or forgot to put something away.
The cash drawer locks in 2 different ways. Locking the cash drawer is a good idea if you need to leave the cash register.
•The cash drawer automatically locks electronically when you move the register key to the Off position. Remember to take the register key out if you are leaving the register. The emergency open lever will still open the cash drawer when it is electronically locked.
•You can also use the 515 key to mechanically lock the cash drawer. If you lock the cash drawer this way, you must have the key to open it again. Even the emergency open lever will not open the cash drawer. when it is locked with the key.
