What Makes the Star Micronics CD4-1616BK55-S2 Different?
The Star Micronics CD4-1616BK55-S2 is part of the Choice Cash Drawer line, built for businesses that need a reliable cash drawer with practical storage, a professional black finish, and receipt-printer-triggered operation. Its 16" x 16" size provides a strong balance of counter efficiency and cash capacity, while the 5-bill/5-coin insert supports organized transaction handling.
Because this model is printer driven, it is designed to open through a compatible receipt printer cash drawer port rather than directly through a computer USB port. That makes receipt-printer compatibility especially important before ordering.
