Cash Register Connection

In this manual, cash registers refer to those with receipt printers internally
connected. Cash registers may not be integrated to GV-Systems, unless
with the following characteristics. Please check these characteristics
before actually connecting your cash register to the GV-System.
Check if your cash register has an output port for a printer.
Connect a receipt printer to the output port and see if it functions well.
If it does, the integration is then possible.
Note: If display errors happen when connecting the receipt printer to the cash
register (e.g. drop caps, character display errors), the same problems would remain
when the GV-System overlays data on video footage.
As POS systems, cash registers also have two types of interfaces: DB9
and DB25. Following will introduce the two interface connections.

DB9 Interface

Depending on the cash register interface, find out the DB9 Female or DB9
Male connector on the GV-Data Capture for connection.
