Solved: Square Register...how many amps does it use?

watchfuleye · ‎01-31-2018

I have a Square Register and peripherals arriving on Friday. In the meanwhile, I'm about to order some trade show electrical lines, but don't know how many amps the register, cash drawer, and receipt printer draw. This amount will be in addition to my lighting for my overall needs.

Anyone from Square able to answer this? Anyone who already has Register that can answer this? TIA.

Hello @watchfuleye! Square Register is specified for 12V/4A, 48W. Anything that's powered by the USB hub power consumption is built into the 48W figure. Things like receipt printers are typically self powered in the sense you have to plug them into a wall socket.

I hope this helps! If you have any other questions let me know. 🙂
