Connecting the cash drawer (optional)

Once you've got the printer all set up, you can connect up the cash drawer.

The cash drawer connects to your receipt printer and is triggered to open when you finish a cash or cheque sale, and the printer prints the receipt. A manager or admin can also manually open the cash drawer directly within Retail.

To set up the cash drawer, open up the Retail POS app and follow the instructions below:

1. Tap the Menu icon (☰) to open the sidebar.

2. Tap Settings and choose Hardware.

3. Select the printer you want to attach the cash drawer to.

4. Plug the RJ12 connector cable from the cash drawer into the receipt printer.

5. On the printer settings page, toggle the Cash drawer enabled setting to On.

6. Toggle the Open cash on sale setting to On.


Perform a test print

Now that your Epson TM-m10 is installed you can start using it to print your receipts in Retail POS.

To perform a test print, follow the steps below:

1. Navigate to Sell > Sales History.
