    Each till system is made up of the following: -

    • Cash Drawer
    • Barcode Scanner
    • Receipt Printer
    • 2 x Ethernet Cables
    • Barcode Label Printer
    • 1 x Till Roll
    • Milestone Server
    • 1 x Barcode Label Roll

    NOTE: Ensure that the electricity is switched off at the wall while working through the setup process

     Cash Drawer

    1. Place the Cash Drawer in the required location
    2. The Cash Drawer does not need to be connected to a power supply
    3. Ensure that you have the Cash Drawer keys. You will find these attached to the back of the unit


    Receipt Printer & Milestone Server

    1. Locate the only cable on the cash drawer and plug it into the corresponding socket on the back of the Receipt Printer (see image below - Cash Drawer Socket)
    2. Using the USB cable provided, connect the printer to the milestone server, as per the image below
    3. Using the ethernet cable provided, connect the Milestone Server to your network switch or an available port on your router
    4. Using the AC Adaptor provided, plug the receipt printer into the power
    5. Using the cable provided, plug the Milestone server into the power

    Barcode Label Printer & Milestone Server

    Your Barcode Label Printer connects to the internet using a Milestone Server, which is a small black cube (see image below).

    1. Using the USB cable provided, connect the Printer to the Milestone server
    2. Locate the Ethernet cable provided. Plug one end into the corresponding socket on the Milestone Server and the other end into your network router/switch, thus connecting it to the internet
    3. You have a third cable which connects the Milestone server to the power. One end of the cable is USB; this is the end that plugs into the power. You can either plug this into a USB power socket or use a USB plug adaptor
    4. Ensure that the electricity is switched off at the wall and then connect the Barcode Label printer to a power supply, using the AC Adaptor provided

    Barcode Scanner

    • The Barcode Scanner connects to an available USB port on your PC
