INSTALLATION GUIDES

HOST SYSTEM PREPARAION

For serial interface (RS232) PD-2601or PD-2602 or PD-2603 to be used in HT or PB or KS or TP or FT series, you have to adjust during power off the internal jumper of the host system to supply 5 V DC to the COM port selected for the serial interface pole display. This adjustment has to be done by a qualified electronic technician following guide from relevant technical manual.

The default communication protocol should be set to 9600 bps, none parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit with hardware handshaking on CTS. The power for the

USB interface type pole display is supported through the USB connection.

However, should these customer displays are to be connected through an USB

HUB instead of a direct USB port of the system, the HUB must be powered by a separate power adaptor otherwise there could be the power shortage problem.

INSTALLING PD-2600

In base of stand alone models (PD-2600 models only), looking from rear side of the bottom, the connector area will look like below:

For serial (RS232) interface models:

To Display head

The RJ45 type modular connector is for internal use and is already occupied.

The RS232 input port is a DB9 female connector. Connect the attached RS-

232 signal cable to this port and one of the COM port in the host system. Set the RS-232 communication protocol for this port to 9600 bps, no parity, 8 bits,

1 stop bit with hardware handshaking. Connect the power adaptor to the rightmost power connector. Turn on the switch in the front side of the base.

For USB interface models:

USB To Display head +24 V DC Out +24 V DC In 12 VAC In

The RJ45 type modular connector is for internal use and is also already occupied. Connect the “B” type connector of the interface cable to “USB” in connector area and the “A” type end to USB port of the host. Insert the 2 pin or

Part 3

3 pin power connector from either 12 V AC or +24 V DC power adaptor to the“12 V DC In” or “+24 V DC In” jack in the connector area. Insert either end of the power cable to “+24 V DC Out” jack in the connector area and insert the other end to the power connector of Posiflex POS printer if needed.

Be sure to hear a click at each connection to obtain a firm contact. You may now place the base on a horizontal surface and prepare to power on and adjust the direction of the display head for best viewing effect in application.

INSTALLING PD-2600

Stand Alone Model:

This instruction is for stand alone model only. Please unpack the inner box of pole display and it easy to find the base, display unit with tube and adaptor separately.

Please remove the PE foam and bring out the components carefully.

Firstly, place the display head and tube on a flat surface and find the cable which in the end of tube. Let this cable pass through the short tube which on the base stand and it shows in the picture at right.

Next, please assemble the display head with tube to the base stand which shows in the right picture. Please pay more attention during the process since there is a hole and a compression lock which are in the two side of tube and marked arrow signs. Aim these two arrow signs nearby compression lock to the holes and push the tube to the end. After hear the “click” sound, the assembly is complete.

Once combine the display head with tube and base stand, please place the pole display as a horizontal position which can easily to check the bottom plate.

Please plug the cable to the connector which showing

“To Display” and route the cable as arrowed in the right picture.

INSTALLING PD-2601

Opening the back cover on system

For ease of PD-2601 installation operation, the HT main unit or PB system has to be opened with sufficient precautions.

First push in the circled knobs on both sides as in Pix. 1 to remove the back cover. Take out the arrow pointed pole cover from it.

Opening the top cover of system

Prepare a piece of clean soft clothe of appropriate size in front of the HT system to prevent damage. Turn the display Pix. 1 panel to straight up position. For both HT and PB system, push in the rectangular marked spring button in Pix. 1 on both sides of chassis and raise the rear edge of the top cover. The COM port DC support can be set at this moment.

Please note that both bottom locking lugs A’ should be completely inserted and come out of the bottom plate of HT or PB system as emphasized by an arrow in the enlarged portion.

Fit in locating bosses

Please always keep a gentle pressure at the bottom end of pole base (bottom locking lugs A’) to the left (away from the sidewall of system chassis) when moving the upper part of pole toward sidewall and matching the 2 short cylindrical locating bosses B’ into 2 round holes B in the I/O plate. Please refer to Pix. 5 to see the 2 locating bosses B’ from inside of HT or PB system.

Ignorance of this point may damage or even break off the locking lugs A’ due to improper torque applied.

Apply sidewall screw

The screw bosses of PD-2601 base should now align with the screw holes on sidewall of system chassis. Only 1 screw needs to be applied. Use the self-tapping screw that comes with PD-2601 to fix from external side of sidewall as demonstrated in Pix. 6.

POWER ON SIGN

With interface cable connection well installed (and with COM port power set for serial models), turn on the HT or KS or TP Posiflex POS system, a firmware identifier as power on sign will appear on the pole display screen for a while to indicate that pole display is self-tested O.K. and ready to work.

USING THE CUSTOMER DISPLAY

INTERRFACE SELECTION

This series of customer display is designed to serve in HT / KS / TP / FT series

Posiflex POS systems with RS232 interface models and with USB interface models. It is advisable to well study the I/O port availability of the host system before determining which interface model to be used.

When a RS232 (serial) interface model of PD-2601 / 2602 / 2603 is used, the jumper on main board of HT / KS / TP / FT system must be modified to supply power to the COM port designated for PD-2601 / 2602 / 2603. Whenever the

RS232 interface PD-2601 / 2602 / 2603 is to be removed from the HT / KS /

TP / FT system, consequently the jumper has to be changed back to neutralize the COM port, otherwise damage could occur!

Part 9

The USB interface model of PD-2601 / 2602 / 2603 should be connected directly to an USB port and must not be through any non-self-powered USB

HUB to get power through the USB port itself and there is no need for other special arrangement.

DRIVER INSTALLATION

For application software to use RS232 interfaced PD-260X, there is no direct need for any driver. The OPOS (OLE POS) driver or the JPOS (Java POS) driver would be required for OPOS or JPOS programs and the PD-260X would have to be set to “Epson” command mode. These drivers are available from our web page: http://www.posiflex.com.tw/Download%20list.asp?Status=1&Series_Name=U

POS&Model_Name=OPOS and execute the file “SETUP.EXE” to install the

OPOS Control Manager. To add the customer display under OPOS control please set in OPOS Control Manager device name “PD2x-Line Display” in the top row. For RS-232 models, select the COM port in the 3 rd

row and set baud rate to “9600” in 4 th

row as in the left sample screen below. Select “USB” in

3 rd

row for USB interface models as in the right sample picture below.

For USB interfaced PD-260X, please visit our web site and find the driver from the class “PD23_26U”. The guidance for each function call in the library

“USBPD.dll” is covered in the “ReadMe” file in that class.
