-=== How it works ===
+For the display, if you have ticked the ‘display active’ box, you can specify the settings required for it to work properly. Please refer to the supplier’s manual.
-The **Start-up mode** allows you to:

-  * start the till only on request. In this case, you will launch the till via the menu //Business -> Touchscreen till//.
-  * to start the till automatically. In this case, Gestan opens the till immediately upon launching Gestan.
-:TIP: For the ‘Automatic start’ option, your password must consist solely of numbers. This is because the till login screen, due to the touchscreen mode, is simplified and only accepts passwords consisting entirely of numbers.
+Cash drawers can operate either via a printer port or via a special adapter. In the latter case, you must specify the COM port used.
