A cash drawer is generally a compartment underneath a cash register in which the cash from transactions is kept. When a transaction that involves cash is completed, the register sends an electrical impulse to a solenoid to release the catch and open the drawer

Recently, due to heavier computing demands and the falling price of computer-like architectures, Point of sale (POS) systems have moved away from custom hardware architectures adopting of a personal computer and use common personal computer operating systems. The crux of a problem is that standard PC does not equip any cash drawer interface. Supplier needs using a particular thermal printer with additional cash drawer IO connectivity. From now on, SUNIX provides cost-efficient solutions to expand cash drawer interface to drive the cash drawer by installing standard PCI add-on card.
