Introduction

M-S Cash Drawer interface type KSC enables the cash drawer to be controlled by a

computer's serial port and incorporates the following unique features:

No external power source or AC adaptor is required for standard RS-232 serial

interfaces.

Selectable noise filtering circuitry to prevent false openings.

Standard "Drawer Open" signal which can be used to indicate the drawer's

status.

Options

Integration, Test and Troubleshooting software for IBM compatible MS-DOS

systems is available for all M-S Cash Drawer interfaces. The software may be

ordered for $5 plus shipping.

KSC equipped cash drawers require an interface cable between the cash drawer

and the host computer. Three versions of this interface cable are available from

M-S Cash Drawer: DB25 female, DB9 female, and Unterminated.

The KSC is powered directly from the computer's serial interface card for most

installations. Some POS software turns off the serial interface power between

drawer openings.

Optional driver software to monitor and power the serial interface can be

ordered from M-S Cash Drawer for $5 plus shipping for these installations. An

optional AC adapter can be ordered for $10 plus shipping.

Installation - Serial Interface

This installation uses a dedicated RS-232 serial port on your computer or terminal to

send an "open" command to the trigger board in the cash drawer. Any data sent on this

port will open the cash drawer. (If it is necessary to independently operate a printer or

other device on the same serial port, the KSI interface type is required).
