Galen and Aaron - thanks for the information - we do have Star TSP100 receipt printers and I saw your email from last year, Aaron, with the suggestion to physically connect a cash drawer to the Star printer, etc. That didn't seem like a true software interface, i.e., there is no data connection between what happens on the cash drawer and payments received as far as borrower data being updated in the Evergreen database but I understand the intent of the physical connection as far as "securing" access to the cash drawer. So, there's no real Evergreen Staff Client interface then, yes?
