INSTALLATION GUIDES

HOST SYSTEM PREPARAION

For serial interface (RS232) PD-309 or PD-2605 to be used in KS-

2010 or DT-20X 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.

INSTALLATION

For the KS-2010 series with mini slim base or

DT-20X POS system, the LCD customer display PD-309/U or

Base for KS-2010 Bottom of DT-20X the VFD PD-2605/U can be attached to either rear corner of bottom plate. Refer to the pictures in Pix. 1 at right. Use the 3 attached screws to fix the

Pix. 1

metal base plate of the PD to bottom of mini slim base or

DT-20X at the circled positions. For mini slim base

Connect the interface cable to go into the base through cable exit arrowed in Pix. 2 at right to the main unit. For

DT-20X arrange the interface cable to go through under bottom to connector area arrowed in Pix. 1 at above right.

The factory default command mode is set to Noritake mode for normal delivery. Please change it to Epson mode if OPOS or UPOS driver is used for the application program.

POWER ON SIGN

With interface cable connection well installed (and with COM port power set for serial models), turn on the 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 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-309 / 2605 is used, the jumper on main board of the host system must be modified to supply power to the COM port designated for PD-309 / 2605. Whenever the RS232 interface

PD-309 / 2605 is to be removed from the host system, consequently the jumper has to be changed back to neutralize the power support COM port, otherwise

damage could occur!

The USB interface model of PD-309 / 2605 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.
