POSIFLEX Business Machines KS-6812 - Manual (Page 9)

Part 9
The KS system will directly control the cash drawer using the cash
drawer port (CR) both to operate the opening mechanism and to monitor the
drawer open status. Both functions may be accomplished under software
control of the COM1 serial port.
Use the cable supplied with the cash drawer (Part No. 21863018010)
for connection to the CR port in KS system. This cable has a 6-pole plug at one
end and an 8-pole plug at the other. The 8-pole plug should be inserted into the
connector marked: “signal cable from POS Printer” at the rear of the cash
drawer. The 6-pole plug should be inserted in the connector marked “CR”
found in the main connection area in the system.
The user may also purchase the optional 2-in-1 cash drawer control
cable (Part No. 218630023800) to control 2 cash drawers in 1 port. It has a 6-
pole plug at one end and two 8-pole plugs at the other. The 6-pole plug should
be inserted in the connector marked “CR” found in the main connection area in
the system. Each 8-pole plug should be inserted into the connector marked
“signal cable from POS Printer” at the rear of one of the cash drawers. The
cable lengths for the two 8-pole plugs are different. Use the shorter one for the
original cash drawer “CR1” and use the longer one for the extended cash
drawer “CR2” that will be distinguished by the software command.
CONNECTING CABLES
To have the re-assembled main unit with stand assembly ready for
operation, please connect all required cables to the appropriate connectors.
Please make sure that each connector is connected to the correct port with the
correct orientation. Damages due to incorrect connection or orientation are
not covered by product warranty!
Some connectors like the COM3 or LAN or CR connector have to be
gently inserted until a click is heard. It is recommended that connectors such as
the COM1/2 and VGA connector be screwed into place once seated.
Adjust the slack of each cable. Re-adjust the tilt angle of the screen
for best viewing.
Connect the cables to appropriate external devices through the cable
exit at the bottom of stand assembly. Please make sure that each connector has
to be connected to the right device in the right way.
CAUTION: On doing any insertion or extraction of any connector, please
always hold the connector head itself instead of pulling on the
cable wire. Failure to do this could damage the cable and jack
that is considered as an artificial destruction and is not
covered by the warranty.
