This list tab displays the printers set for the selected Register to utilize. By default the Register will use the printers set in the Printer Setup Form. This tab provides an alternative form to edit the printers. Please review the Printers Setup Fo rm for specific instructions.

Cash drawer...If Yes, this workstation has a serial cash drawer attached. The cash drawer can be opened from Register Functions->Cash Drawer Open, or using the No Sale button on the Ticket form. The Cashdrawer port must be set as well.

Cash drawer port...The port ID determines the type of drawer that this register will be using and the physical PC's I/O port the cash drawer is attached. There are three type of drawers that ProfitSystemis capable of using

Serial cash drawers Those that work off serial communications ports, i.e. com1, com2 ..that is directly attached to a PC. ProfitSystem supports up to communications (Com) port 9. ProfitSystem can support many manufacturers of these drawers.

Receipt printer attached cash drawers. These cash drawers are attached to a receipt printer, which is in turn attached to the computer. The TSP100eco printer is supported in this configuration. A list of printers is shown, select the receipt printer for the cash drawer.

USB cash drawers
Those that attached to a USB port. USB port drawers use a proprietary program that is installed with ProfitSystem. ProfitSystem supports three major manufacturers: APG, MMF and MS.

For MMF choose either MMFUSB0 or MMFUSB1. USBCR.DLL is required for MMF USB drawers.

For MS choose either MSUSB0 or MSUSB1 based on the dip switches on the drawer used. MS USB drawers require MSPOS_USB.DLL to be present in the ProfitSystem© program folder.

For APG look for APGUSBn, where n is 1 thru 10 for the USB port number auto assigned by Windows. USB554.DLL is used for APG drawers. These files are installed with ProfitSystem©.

APGUSBREMOTE will try to open the drawer on every port 1-9

For an APG USB cash drawer used on Windows 8 or Windows 8.1, there is registry change that must be performed: APG USB Registry Fix

For an APG USB cash drawer accessed via RDP or TSPLUS, use APGUSBREMOTE as the port. The Cash Drawer Helper must be running on the PC to which the cash drawer is attached. Download and install from http://bblsystems.com/downloads/CashDrawerHelper.msi

Cash Drawer Helper is a Windows program that monitors the clipboard for a drawer open string. If it sees the string, it will try to open the drawer. So, ProfitSystem running on the RDP or TSPlus server inserts the specific string into the clipboard. Then, the Cash Drawer Helper program sees it and opens the drawer. Then the Cash Drawer Helper program puts a different string in the clipboard that tells ProfitSystem the drawer opened.

Network cash drawers Those that are networked based (TCP/IP) and are not directly attached to a PC or terminal, but are attached to a network switch. Networked drawers must be assigned a static IP number. These type drawers also use proprietary commands and ProfitSystem s upports only the APG manufacturer.

No software is installed. AGP offers a Windows setup program, APGCdRelUtil.EXE, for it's configuration to the store's network which is available on a CD or from BBL's website. Instructions for it's setup and use are:
