How to set up 2 cash drawers on 2 terminals?

Hey folks.

I bought a second Toast flex as a duplicate to our original set up. I'm struggling to set up the second drawer. Can I set up each drawer to respond to each terminal or will it just open randomly? In any case, I'd like to set up the second one to work, is that possible? Thank you in advance.

To clarify, I have two terminals with the same menu setup. Is it possible to Z the registers individually?

Does each terminal have its own printer?

So you are just adding another terminal with a cash drawer attached? You add the other drawer when adding the new printer, choose has cash drawer. The cash drawers will open independently, and track payments independently, you also need to set it to open cash drawer under device setup on the new terminal as well.

Absolutely

You are going to have to go to printer setup and and add a printer for that device

then under printers set up the cash drawer configuration

When you close that drawer it will only calculate money that was put in that drawer

How do you connect two cash drawers to one printer? There is only one cash drawer port on the Toast printer.

You need a splitter cable, toast sells one here https://www.toasttab.com/customers/shop/product/01t3c000006XmjcAAC I don't think there is any special about it though and you could probably find one that would work in Amazon as well.
