Did you know..
You can set up a cash drawer to automatically open at the beginning of each day with zero dollars.

This is helpful for companies that use separate cash drawers for back office use such as Accounts Receivable and Service.

These drawers generally open with zero cash because the cash and checks are deposited every night.

Do not use this option on cash drawers that actually hold cash. For example, a point of sale register.
