Printer-Driven Connection
The CD5-1617BK55-S2 opens electronically through the cash-drawer port on a compatible receipt printer. The included CD1 cable connects the drawer to the printer, allowing supported POS software to trigger the drawer when a cash sale is completed or a no-sale command is authorized.
This exact model does not include direct USB connectivity. If your system requires a USB-connected drawer, choose the corresponding dual-interface CD5 model or confirm whether a compatible cash-drawer interface is available.
Compatibility Guidance
Confirm that your receipt printer has a compatible 24V cash-drawer port and supports the Star CD1 cable configuration. Cash-drawer compatibility depends primarily on the receipt printer's drawer port, voltage, and pinout—not simply the POS software or computer operating system.

What are the two media slots used for?
