Setup

1. Unpacking and Placement

Carefully remove the cash register from its packaging. Place the unit on a stable, flat surface, ensuring adequate ventilation around the device.

Connect the power adapter to the DC IN port on the back of the cash register. Plug the other end of the adapter into a standard electrical outlet.

3. Battery Installation (for Memory Backup)

4. Thermal Paper Installation

The 210DX uses 2 1/4" thermal paper rolls for printing receipts.

1. Open the printer cover by lifting it upwards.
2. Place the new thermal paper roll into the compartment, ensuring the paper feeds from the bottom of the roll and the leading edge is straight.
3. Pull a small amount of paper out past the cutting edge.
4. Close the printer cover firmly until it clicks into place.
