Volcora Cash Register Drawer for POS System - Heavy Duty 24V

In this review the Volcora Cash Register Drawer is evaluated for small retailers and busy checkout counters that need a sturdy, compatible cash drawer. The bottom line: this is a heavy duty metal cash drawer built for commercial use that combines a compact 16x16x3.5 in footprint with simple printer-triggered automation, making it a practical choice for restaurants, retail shops, and pop-up stores that use receipt printers to control the drawer.

Key Features

• Compact metal frame: The 16x16x3.5 in heavy duty metal body provides a durable footprint for under-counter mounting or countertop use while resisting daily wear.
• Removable coin compartment: The built-in cash tray includes a removable coin compartment to maximize organization with 5 bill slots and 6 coin slots.
• Printer-triggered auto open: Connect via the included RJ11/RJ12 cable to most thermal printers so the drawer opens automatically with receipts, improving checkout speed.
• Three-position key lock: The 3-position lock gives manual open, auto open, and locked modes and the package includes 4 keys for spare access control.
• Front media slot: The front panel media slot lets staff store checks, large bills, or receipts without opening the drawer for quick access.

Who It's For

The Volcora drawer suits small business owners, cafes, and retail shops using receipt or thermal printers from major brands who want a rugged, low-maintenance cash handling solution. Its 24VDC interface and RJ11/RJ12 connection make it ideal when the point of sale relies on the receipt printer to trigger the drawer.

Shops that require direct USB integration with a POS terminal or multi-drawer networked systems should look elsewhere, since this model does not offer a USB port or dedicated multi-drawer networking features.
