When it may not be suitable

How to use

To use the extension cable, simply plug one end into the RJ12 port located on the back or bottom of the compatible cash drawer and connect the other end to the corresponding drawer kick port on your receipt printer or POS terminal. Ensure both connections are fully inserted until they click into place. Verify the setup by performing a test drawer opening from your point of sale software to confirm proper communication.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the model of your existing cash drawer to ensure compatibility with Metapace K-1, K-8090, DR20, or DR50 series
• Measure the distance between your cash drawer and receipt printer to confirm that the 2-meter length is sufficient for your setup
• Check the port type on your POS peripheral to ensure it utilizes a standard RJ12 connection

Usage recommendations: Route the cable safely along counters or use cable management clips to prevent tripping hazards and protect the wiring from physical damage in high-traffic work areas.
