APG CASH DRAWERS


APG Smart SerialPRO interface #212AAPG Smart SerialPRO 212A
Programmable Serial

An APG serial interface works with open architecture systems that use a computer or terminal to create point-of-sale systems without requiring a printer to operate the cash drawer. APG's serial interfaces are compatible with all popular software using a serial interface cash drawer.

APG's serial interfaces come in dedicated and programmable models. The APG SerialPRO II Dedicated Serial interface incorporates unique digital technology to maximize flexibility and eliminate unauthorized openings, providing a higher level of security than most other dedicated interfaces. In addition, it doesn't require its own power supply and it is available in any of the APG cash drawer product lines.

APG's easy-to-program, Smart SerialPRO interface comes with a "Y" cable making it ideal when the serial cash drawer needs to share a port with a pole display or another device. The Smart SerialPRO is especially applicable for vertical markets that use a standard 80 column printer at the POS workstation such as home improvement centers, auto parts, and rental stores. This interface is fully programmable to ensure compatibility with all specific serial interface requirements. It's available in the APG Classic and Series 6000 cash drawers.

Both products include DIP switches and diagnostic lights to facilitate easy programming and quick installation. A drawer status reporting feature is included to support the system's security. Digital technology ensures that these interfaces will not accidentally activate when the power goes on or off.

In an open architecture system, the best solution is an APG serial interface cash drawer.

Product description
The Programmable Serial interface is the most secure and versatile cash drawer interface for serial interface applications.

This programmability, combined with the supplied "Y" cable, allows the drawer to share a serial port with another cash drawer or another serial device such as a pole display. A drawer status switch feature allows for better cash control by reporting back the drawer position.
