Setting up your Volcora cash drawer involves connecting it to your Point of Sale (POS) system via a receipt printer.

Connecting to a Receipt Printer:

  2. Connect one end of the included RJ11/RJ12 network cable to this port.
  3. Connect the other end of the cable to the cash drawer port on your receipt/thermal printer.
