Note: The OPOS driver supports up to two cash drawer connectors, with each cash drawer connector supporting up to two cash drawers. Most POS systems have only one cash drawer connector. The registry keys CD11 and CD21 control the two cash drawers on the first connector. CD12 and CD22 control the two cash drawers on the second connector. If you have only one cash drawer, use CD11
