How do I install my USB barcode scanner?

When you plug in your USB barcode scanner, your computer (Windows, Mac, or Linux) will recognize the scanner as a USB keyboard. Once the computer has detected the device, you may scan barcode, and they will be entered into the computer as though you were typing the number on a keyboard: If you can type a barcode into a particular field or application, you can now scan that same barcode into the field or application.

If your scanner does not work out of the box, please do not scan any barcodes from the configuration manual without first consulting either POSWAY or the product's manufacturer.

How do I get the cash drawer to open?

Manual drawer: Make sure the drawer is unlocked and then press the front panel inwards once to open.

Printer Driven: Make sure the drawer is connected to your POS receipt printer and that the printer driver is installed. There are two ways that this model of drawer opens.

1. The drawer opens whenever the receipt printer prints: this is an option enabled in the print driver (sometimes by default)
2. The drawer opens from the software: there is an option in some POS software that will send a command to the printer to open the drawer (Open drawer button).

USB: This drawer connects directly to your computer. They sometimes come with their own test utility, but they are usually opened from an 'open drawer' option available in your POS software.
