Custom America POS-X ION Cash Drawer 16x16 Black Media Slot Manual Open (971GF010003019)

The Custom America ION 16x16 Manual Cash Drawer is a black, medium-duty POS cash drawer designed for retail stores, restaurants, convenience stores, liquor stores, grocery counters, cafeterias, concessions, and other checkout environments that need a standalone manual cash drawer. This model is part number 971GF010003019 and was previously listed under POS-X part number ION-C16M-1B.

This is a manual-open cash drawer, not a printer-driven cash drawer. It is a good choice when you need a cash drawer that opens by key or manual release instead of being triggered electronically by a receipt printer, POS terminal, or cash drawer port.

Best For

• Retail stores that need a standalone manual cash drawer
• Restaurants, cafeterias, concessions, and snack bars
• Convenience stores, liquor stores, tobacco stores, and small grocery counters
• Mobile or temporary checkout setups where electronic drawer kick is not needed
• Back-office cash handling and secondary cash stations
• Merchants replacing an older POS-X ION-C16M-1B cash drawer

Manual Open Cash Drawer

The 971GF010003019 is a manual-open cash drawer. That means it is intended for cash handling workflows where the drawer does not need to automatically pop open from a receipt printer or POS command.

If your current drawer opens automatically when a receipt prints, you may need a printer-driven cash drawer instead. Review your POS software, receipt printer, cable, and drawer connection before choosing a replacement.
