 Panasonic provides the following device aliases as one method to set hard coded application device name
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\OLEforRetail\ServiceOPOS\CashDrawer]
"DRAWER1"="CD11"
This example allows an application to open device “DRAWER1” without actually changing the device name key.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\OLEforRetail\ServiceOPOS\LineDisplay]
"LINE_DISPLAY"="FTLDSO"
This example allows an application to open device “LINE_DISPLAY” without actually changing the device name key.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\OLEforRetail\ServiceOPOS\MSR]
"MSR"="IDTECH_SECUREMAG_USBHID"
This example allows an application to open device “MSR” without actually changing the device name key.

As an alternate if above examples do not function with the desired application, the actual registry keys may be renamed
as appropriate to the desired value for application.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\OLEforRetail\ServiceOPOS\CashDrawer\CD11]

Cash Drawer Port

While the JS-980 still supports the Epson +24V drawer kick interface, the support for auto-sensing and switching to +12V
operation for legacy drawers has been eliminated.

DO NOT USE JS-970 LEGACY 12V DIN DRAWER ADAPTER WITH JS980. DAMAGE MAY OCCUR FROM OPERATION AT
WRONG VOLTAGE.

Please check compatibility with legacy drawers and cables used with JS-970. At least one extended replacement drawer
cable has been found incompatible between models (Replacement cable for CF405MBPAN)
