Appendix B: Setting up cash drawers and pole displays
Salesware module has cash drawer and pole display functionality. A cash drawer can pop every time a sale is completed, and can be manually popped through a button in Sales. You can also prevent sales from occurring when the cash drawer is open. You can set up Sales to use a common serial cash drawer (APG or Indiana) or you can customize Sales to work with any other cash drawer. You can set up one or two cash drawers (in the case that you accept two types of currency). Installation steps are provided in this appendix for USB cash drawers and pole displays. Connecting using other types of serial ports is handled in a similar fashion, though almost all new salespoints support connection via USB ports.
Note: Ensure UAC is turned off if installing on a Windows 7 PC. Go to Start > Control Panel > Users Accounts > Change User Account Settings. Make sure it is turned completely off. You may need to restart your computer for the changes to take effect
