Cash drawers are one of the core components to every Point of Sale System. They may be the simplest part of your POS but making sure you have the right one is key. Most drawers are printer driven and will need the right cabling to connect to your receipt printer.
A retail point of sale system typically includes a cash register (which in recent times comprises a computer, monitor, cash drawer, receipt printer, customer display and a barcode scanner) and the majority of retail POS systems also include a debit/credit card reader.
A barcode reader, also called a price scanner or point-of-sale ( POS ) scanner, is a hand-held or stationary input device used to capture and read information contained in a bar code .
