Micros Cash Drawer (how to open?)

[jgrow]

I purchased two Micros cash drawers at an auction and I'm trying to open them without any luck. The keys are inside them. I tried to identify what model they are but I cannot locate a model number anywhere on the outside of the cash drawer. The only other info that I have to identify them by is that it has a 4 pin connector and on the front it has two thin slots to put receipts/envelopes in. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!!!

There should be a hole underneath to stick your finger into and hit a release.

I tried to locate a hole underneath that would allow me to put my finger into it and search around for a release button, but I was unable to find one. I also looked for some type of hole to put a nail or paperclip into it to release it, but I couldn't find one either. There are two large holes, one on each side underneath and at the back of the cash drawer that had a plastic cover over them. I took the plastic covers off and felt around for some type of button or release switch but no luck. The lock on the front has the letter/number: A6 on it. I wonder if getting a key made is my only option?

On a side note, is there a adapter that would change the 4 pin connector into a USB connector?

Thanks again for the help!

Do both of the cash drawers have A6 on the front lock? I probably have a spare key that I could mail you.

email me at: Jason@POSLifeline.com and I'll get one in the mail this week.

Try to build up a workstation and connect to the cash drawer, using "no sales" button to open it...
