Receipt Printers

Cash Drawers
There are two ways to connect a cash drawer to a LightSpeed station. You can either connect the drawer to a Star Micronics Printer or use a drawer with a serial cable and a serial to USB adapter. LightSpeed has been tested with APG and Herritage Cash Drawers that connect through the Star printer and APG serial drawers with a Keyspan USB Adapter.
Cash drawers come in a variety of sizes and colors and can be configured to meet your individual needs. Please contact Xsilva for more information on cash drawer configurations.

LightSpeed does not currently process debit cards. If you wish to take debit cards as a form of payment, you will still require an external terminal.
LightSpeed supports one and two track card readers. Consult your card swipe's documentation or contact Xsilva to determine if you model is supported.
