Once it's removed the cash drawer connector will fit into that port.

If you do not have the printer drivers on your computer, go to Coral Springs Software website, Healthclubsoftware.net, click Tech Support at the top, click Downloads on the left, then download the file for Receipt printer drivers for XP. Save it to your desktop. Double click the file you saved on your desktop, click Unzip. The necessary files will be unzipped to your computer. Close the window. Follow the installation instructions but you will need to browse to C:\star instead of C:\QuikCheK\support\receipt.
