  • Patent number: 10516264
    Abstract: Power can be supplied to a smart device without affecting control of a cash drawer. A printer 1 capable of connecting to a smart device 2 and a cash drawer 3 has a wireless communicator 16 for communicating with the smart device 2, a drawer kick connector 18 that connects to the drawer 3, a power circuit 14, and a controller 11. When a command instructing control of the drawer 3 is received from the smart device 2 by the wireless communicator 16, the controller 11 stops the supply of power from the power circuit 14 to the smart device 2; and when control of the drawer 3 ends, the controller 11 starts supplying power to the smart device 2.
