To ensure optimal performance, it is important to be vigilant in identifying any dirt, debris, residue, or smudges that could trigger the system to register a false touch. A thorough cleaning with a soft cloth and 70% isopropyl alcohol should be the first step in troubleshooting touch issues. It is also important to examine the inner LCD bezel for any debris, and to use a can of duster-air or folded paper to access tight spots. Scratches, pits, or dents on the screen can also cause touch problems, such as a misaligned touch or a cursor that constantly returns to the same position.

To troubleshoot, check if the drawer is unlocked and listen for any sounds or paper jams. Ensure that the drawer is properly connected to the printer and that the printer is online and assigned to the POS terminal. If the problem persists, contact technical support at (866) 710-7382

Power cords can get displaced under the counter, so check that the cord is not damaged and is properly plugged in. This should resolve the issue in most cases but could be the case that the breaker may need to be reset.

If the problem persists, it’s advisable to contact your equipment provider for technical support. If feasible, keeping backup hardware on-site can accelerate the recovery process in case of hardware failure, as determined by your technical support provider.
