Hello and welcome to a POSCatch.com
presentation, and today we are going
to present to you the two different ways
to setup your Square cash register
point-of-sale system, and we're also
going to show you how to get the correct
supported hardware for your Square cash
register system, so let's get right to it.
So the first thing we want to do is go
to our website which is a POSCatch.com;
that's P-O-S-C-A-T-C-H.com and over on
the left-hand side here it says "DIY POS
Systems" and you have "Square Register
Hardware" just go ahead and click on that.
And by the way, this link up here it is
listed on the bottom of this YouTube
video for you, so you can have quick and
easy access to this page that I'm on right now.
OK, so basically...there's two
ways to setup your Square cash register system.
One is with the actual Square Stand
itself, and so we'll discuss that
one first. So for the Square Stand
installation: the Square Stand comes with
a built-in or integrated USB hub/charger,
so that allows you to connect your EMV
card reader right here.
It allows you to connect a USB barcode
scanner and a USB thermal receipt
printer. Now the cash drawer (in this
particular setup) the cash drawer is
receipt printer driven, so there's an RJ cable
right here that goes from the back of
the receipt printer to the back of the
cash drawer, and every time that this receipt
printer prints it sends a signal down
this cable to the solenoid in the
cash drawer for it to open, OK?
And so this is the setup that you
would want to have with an iPad and a
Square Stand. Now all of this Hardware in
here...you can't just get any
hardware you have to have supported hardware,
and we have that hardware already here
for you in this retail bundle #1,
so if you click on that link right
there it will take you to a page where
you can get the supported cash drawer,
receipt printer and barcode scanner for
an iPad with Square Stand setup.
Now the second way to do this is
without the Square Stand. Let's just say
that you have an iPad, but you also have
your own universal stand and you want to
use that. So let's go ahead and review
that setup, so that setup a little
bit different. So right here in this
image we have a universal stand with
iPad and attached to that would be a USB
hub or would be a Lightning to USB cable
or 30 pin to USB cable adapter depending
on the iPad model that you have. And the
reason why you would need that is so you
can connect your USB barcode scanner.
Ok, now Square actually supports a
Bluetooth barcode scanner with the
Socket Mobile scanner, so if you want to
go with the supported hardware you want
to get the Socket Mobile scanner;
however, you can do a regular USB handheld scanner,
but you would need an Apple Lightning to
USB cable or 30-pin adapter cable.
So for your other peripherals:
for your receipt printer it needs to be a
Bluetooth or Ethernet printer
for it to be supported without the stand
by Square, so we highly recommend the
Bluetooth printer. It's easiest to setup;
however, if you plan on having more than
one Square cash register system at your store
you may want to think about getting an
Ethernet or network printer that way you
can have more than one POS system
printing to the printer.
But again we do recommend
Bluetooth receipt printer because it is
the easiest for a one system install.
And again here we have a receipt printer
driven cash drawer, so the receipt
printer driven cash drawer RJ cable goes
from the back of the printer to the back
of the cash drawer, and every time the
printer prints it sends a signal down
this cable for the cash drawer to open.
Now this is the way you want to do it if you
are going to use a universal iPad stand.
Again, so you're not going to use the
Square supplied stand. You're going to
use your own. Now we actually have
this hardware package already setup for
you in retail bundle #2, and in
this one we actually have the universal
stand with the Bluetooth printer, barcode
scanner (USB barcode scanner) and
cash drawer.
OK, so it's all right there for you.
Now you can go
"al a carte" as it were on the point of
sale hardware. So let's say that you just
,you know, wanted to mix and match your
own hardware, and you can do that on this page.
We have all of the supported
hardware for a Square cash register.
So we have all the printers/Ethernet,
all the Bluetooth printers, the USB,
the impact printers, your barcode scanners,
cash drawers and so forth on down the
list here -- everything that you need to go
ahead and do a hardware bundle
for your Square cash register.
