I'm considering adding an electronic cash drawer to replace the manual one I have now. Could you clear up a couple matters?

1. Helios sells a drawer that only works in tandem with a receipt printer. Is that the only type that works with Helios? Some electronic ones are trigged by the software rather than being triggered by the receipt printer pop-up. Since I print a receipt maybe once every five months, I could care less about a receipt printer.

2. How would this work in a two computer linked system? Would the slave trigger the drawer also? Or would I have to get two whole cash drawer/receipt printer rigs?

3. In your opinion, how much more security does this set-up really offer compared to a manual push-the-button cash drawer?

Thanks for your consideration.
