SuperSalon’s point of sale supports a wide range of related peripheral devices, such as pole displays and biometric scanners. This hardware support has been an integral part of SuperSalon since its first commercial release. One critical peripheral device is the cash drawer. This article will illustrate the different settings for the cash drawer in SuperSalon and demonstrate what they control.
Below is the Cash Drawer Setup interface, located in the main Setup menu. From here, you can troubleshoot problems, configure settings and more. The following descriptions give a more detailed breakdown of each section.
