Table 2: RJ12 Drawer 1 and Drawer 2 pin out
The drawer solenoid is connected to + 24 VDC and to the Drawer Sink Signal. Typically pins 2 & 4 are used for
drawer # 1. The Drawer Status Switch is connected to an Open Drawer Switch source pull up voltage and the
switch is closed only when the cash drawer is OPEN, typically pins 3 & 6. Special Note: The drawer trigger #2
connects to the solenoid using Pin 4 & 5. Since most cash drawers are wired to only use Pin 2 & 4, the POS708 is
designed to support the same type of cash drawer in both cash drawer port #1 & #2 See table 2 for pin out for both
ports.
