What
is a cash drawer?
A cash drawer is a receptacle for the storage of coins, notes and
vouchers at the point of sale. Cash Bases cash drawers are constructed
out of sheet steel, with steel ball bearing runners and a choice of
additional options, colours and interfaces.
Do you supply and fit?
No, we only manufacture. Cash Bases supply bulk orders to
distributors or integrators of EPoS equipment who are also responsible
for the fitting and subsequent maintenance of your cash drawer.
Do you repair cash drawers?
Cash Bases are able to offer a repair service for our own
manufactured products. Click here for more...
Do you provide on-site support if I have a technical problem?
Naturally we will do everything we can to assist our customers, but
in the first instance your enquiry should be directed to your
distributor or integrator.
How should I
use and manage the cash drawer keys?
If you have chosen a key and lock option for your cash drawer then
each Cash Bases cash drawer is shipped with two keys on a ring. For
security reasons, the keys are only available to the store manager. Cash
Bases recommends that users DO NOT leave the keys in the lock.
I have lost the keys for our cash drawers. Do you supply a replacement?
In most instances yes. You will need to make a note of the serial number
of the lock on the cash drawer. However, if the cash drawer has a random
lock, the whole lock may need to be changed.
What
options do I have for opening a cash drawer?
There are several options for opening a cash drawer, either
mechanically or electronically. See our Cash Drawer Technical Interface
Flow-Chart [PDF doc] for your specific interface requirements.

USB Interfaces
The cash drawer would
not fire open?
A number of reasons can cause this to happen. Check to see if the
drawer is not locked or if items within are jamming the mechanism.
Otherwise we suggest you contact your systems integrator to send for an
engineer.
How do I get
spare parts for the cash drawer?
We are able to supply spare parts for your Cash Bases cash drawer
[minimum order quantity required]. Please contact your regional sales
office with your requirements
Can
I connect a Cash Bases cash drawer to a personal PC?
Yes. You will need to purchase a drawer with a serial RS232, USB or
Parallel port cable fitted.
Should
a cash drawer be bolted down to the checkout?
Yes, every cash drawer must be bolted down to gain the safest and
most secure position. Each cash drawer has one or more bolt holes within
the base plate. Please refer to the installation instructions for your
drawer.
I
want to suspend a cash drawer underneath the work counter. What is
the best way of doing this?
Use an under counter mounting bracket or mounting cradle. These have
bolt holes for fixing the cash drawer in place, and can be designed to
fit under most counters.
I wish to have a manually operated cash drawer. Is this possible?
Yes it is. We can provide some of our cash drawers with a key
release only mechanism or a 'push push' mechanism, whereby a slight push
on the unlocked drawer front will open the drawer and a firmer push will
close the drawer.
I am looking for a special size, type and colour of cash drawer. Can you
supply?
Cash Bases are the world's largest designer and manufacturer of
customised cash drawers. Our CustomPlus range allows for your specific
requirements to be met. Please contact your regional sales office for
further information.
