A Troubleshooting
Solving Common Problems
The following table lists possible problems, the possible cause of each problem, and the recommended solutions.
Table A-1 Solving Common Problems
Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
---|---|---|
Lock assembly does not lock. | Keys may need to be replaced or lock may need | |
repair or replacement. | Order a new cash drawer with keys. | |
Wrong key used. | Use the key that came with the cash drawer. |
NOTE : Match the key number with the lock number
Cash drawer will not open electronically.| Need to install printer drivers.|
Be sure the cash drawer is connected directly to the host device or printer
and that the security key is in the electrically online position (straight up
and down). Install the software drivers that came with the computer or printer
and follow the instructions to configure the software to electronically open
the cash drawer.
Cables are loose or unplugged.| Verify that the printer interface cable or USB
interface cable is fully seated into the connector on the bottom of the cash
drawer and cash drawer port on the computer or cash drawer port on the receipt
printer.
Defective cable.| If possible, change the cable that connects the cash drawer
to the printer to determine if a different cable has the same condition.
Defective cash drawer.| If possible, change the non-functioning cash drawer
with a functioning one (swap locations) and determine if the problem “follows
the drawer.”
Cash drawer is sticking or binding when opening and closing (Heavy Duty and
Standard Duty Cash Drawer models)| Drawer slides or tracks/wheels are dirty|
To clean the drawer slide, or the tracks and roller wheels, remove all dirt
and debris from the slide by wiping the ball races of both slide members (the
portion of the metal that the ball bearings ride in) or the tracks and roller
wheels with a clean, dry, and lint-free cloth shop towel. Do not use a paper
towel.
Heavy Duty Cash Drawer slides need lubricating.| To lubricate the drawer
slides, first clean dirt and debris from the slides. Then, using a clean
applicator, apply a light film of grease to the inside of the ball races.
Cycle the slides several times to properly coat the ball bearings and spread
the grease across the ball races. It is recommended that you use a lithium-
based bearing grease as lubrication for the slides. Several manufacturers make
appropriate lubricants of this type that are readily available in small
quantities from almost any hardware store.
CAUTION : Do not use WD-40 or any type of spray lubricant including
silicone spray and Petroleum-based lubricants to grease the slides.
CAUTION: Do not use WD-40 or any type of spray lubricant including silicone spray and Petroleum-based lubricants to grease the slides.
