What to do when your Cash Drawer doesn't open
We have found that on some occasions that the cash drawer on the mPOP will not open and display a message of “Failed to open port”. This is caused by Bluetooth disconnecting between the iPad and the mPOP cash register. This can be easily fixed by going into Bluetooth in your iPad’s settings and reconnecting to the mPOP. If this happens regularly, you can set the mPOP to “Auto connect”. For details on how to do this, click here.
If you are connected to Bluetooth then please see the options below:
Before installing the application and while configuring the settings, or in emergencies when you cannot operate from the application, you can use the lock release lever to open the cash drawer by hand.
Also if the drawer open function is effective with the multi-function button, you can use the multi-function button to open the drawer.
