Drivers, Manuals & SDK Software Integration Solutions

All our electronic cash drawer models utilize the same modules, electronics, and drivers. Once integration is complete for our Bluetooth, USB, serial, and parallel cash drawers, no programming changes are needed per cash drawer model.

Our true HID USB cash drawer interface is port-driven and doesn’t require a power supply. Similarly, in some cases, our serial cash drawers (KSC) also don’t need a power supply. Our Bluetooth cash drawer interface is USB port-driven and doesn’t require a separate power adapter. If a USB port is unavailable, you can use a wall adapter supporting a USB A connection.

To integrate our USB dll files/drivers, refer to the programming instructions and examples below based on your software’s operating system. For assistance, contact our tech support at 800-544-1749 ext 7230 or techsupport@mscashdrawer.com. Let us know who to connect with for confirming the dll files’ download and checking compatibility with the software.

Once compatibility is confirmed, we can provide a demo USB cash drawer for evaluation/testing.

It requires a power supply/adapter. KPC is also referred to as a parallel interface. It requires a power supply/adapter. A splitter, Y cable, is available when it needs port sharing.

Instructions:

This utility will only work on systems using Windows operating systems. Click on the Download link and save the file on the desktop. Go to the desktop (windows key + d) and double click on the file to start**.

In order to use the test utility you must identify the type of cash drawer
you are using:

  • Parallel interfaced (KPC)
  • Serial interfaced
    • KC (single serial cable exiting the back of drawer, plug to connect power supply)
    • KSC (female plug for 9 pin serial cable, plug to connect power supply, set of 4 dipswitches)
    • KSI (female plug for 9 pin serial cable, plug to connect power supply, set of 10 dipswitches)
  • Be sure to reset the dipswitches as shown in the utility, remember to disconnect the power supply from the drawer and reconnect the power supply after every change of the dipswitches.
  • Printer-interfaced (Connecting through a receipt printer) either STAR, Ithaca, Epson or Citizen.

If the test utility opens the cash drawer then you may have a configuration problem with your point-of-sale software, and you would need to contact your software vendor.

**Some windows installations might also need Visual Basic runtime files. These files are also available for download.
