On the back of any cash drawer, there will be Control Signal From Pos Printer slot to plugin the control signal cable. One end of the cable goes into the slot shown below and the other end goes into your receipt printer. An example of a receipt printer would be the Citizen CT-S801 printer. This is the only cable required to plugin to a cash drawer for it to function.
This is a cash drawer cable:
1. This end goes into the cash drawer slot labeled as Control Signal From POS Printer.
2. The end goes into the receipt printer.
