    Installing Logic Controls 1603 and 1803 USB Cash Drawers

    by RetailEdge Moderator » Tue Mar 20, 2007 5:54 pm

    To install the Logic Controls USB 1603 and 1803 Cash Drawers you should do the following. The documentation and utilities are provided on a CD shipped with the cash drawer.

    1. Install the Drivers for the Cash Drawer from the CD.
    2. Run the 2.CREdit Utility to set the drawer opening codes.

    Drawer codes in CREdit should be set to the following:
    COM port installed in Step 1 above
    Baud Rate: 9600
    Data Bits: 8
    Parity: None
    Stop Bits: 1
    Cmd Code1: 7
    Cmd Codes 2-5: 0
    bytes in command: 1
    OPOS/JPOS should be left unchecked.

    3. Press the Open Test button. If this does not pop the drawer you should contact Logic Controls to make sure that you have the settings correctly set to pop the drawer.

    4. Once you have popped the drawer with the CREdit utility, choose Devices from the Tools menu in RetailEdge. Modify the Generic Cash Drawer setting for Flow Control on the Serial Port tab to Hardware DTR/DTS. Then save the settings

    5. Edit your workstation settings by choosing Workstations from the Tools|Settings menu and modify your desired workstation. On the Cash Drawer tab choose Serial Port, Select the COM Port set in Step one above, and choose device name Generic Cash Drawer. Save the workstation settings.

    6. Choose No Sale from the Register menu in RetailEdge. This should pop the drawer.

    Logic Controls documentation on these steps has been provided below

    USB DRIVER INSTALLATION
    -----------------------

    When the cash drawer is plugged into the computer's USB port, the HID
    driver will be installed automatically. After the HID driver is
    installed, run the program "HidComInst.exe" to install the COM port
    conversion driver.

    After installing the COM port conversion driver, the Cash Drawer will
    be accessed via a virtual COM port. Check the assigned COM port
    number under Device Manager.

    Run the utility software "CRedit" included in the driver diskette to
    set the drawer opening codes.


    SETTING UP CASH DRAWER OPENING CODE
    -----------------------------------

    1. With Windows Explorer, double click on the file "CRedit" to start
    the utiltiy software.

    2. Select COM port name on the utility start up screen as shown under
    Device Manager and click OK.

    3. Enter number of bytes to be used for the opening code in the "Bytes
    in command" box (1 to 5).

    4. Enter the decimal code values in the boxes Cmd Code1 to Cmd Code5.
    For example, enter '7' for "Ctrl-G" to open the drawer. If the code
    is less than 5 bytes, codes in the additional boxes will be ignored.

    6. Click "Write to CR" button to write settings to the cash drawer.

    7. Set up the POS retail software with same opening code and COM port
    name for the cash drawer.

    8. Test with the POS retail software.

    Note: For security reason, it's recommended that the programming utility
    software should not be copied onto the cashier station computer to
    avoid unauthorized change of the opening codes.
