FCC-Class A Declaration
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Le présent appareil numérique n’ émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites applicables aux appareils numériques de la “Classe A” prescrites dans le Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique édicté par le ministère des Communications du Canada.
Wincor Nixdorf International GmbH (WN) accepts no responsibility for radio and television reception interference resulting from unauthorized modifications to the equipment. Furthermore, neither cables nor devices which have not been approved for use by WN may be connected. The user shall be held responsible for interference caused in this manner.

RECYCLING THE BA63
Recycling the BA63
En vi ron men tal pro tec ti on does not be gin when the time has come to dis po se of the BA63; it be gins with the ma nu fac tu rer. This pro duct was de sig ned ac cor ding to our in ter nal norm
“En vi ron men tal cons ci ous pro duct de sign and de ve lop ment”.
The BA63 is manufactured without the use of CFCs and CCHS and is produced mainly from reusable components and materials.
The processed plastics can, for the most part, be recycled. Even the precious metals can be recovered, thus saving energy and costly raw materials.
Please do not stick labels onto plastic case parts. This would help us to re-use components and material.
You can protect our environment by only switching on your equipment when it is actually needed. If possible, even avoid the stand-by-mode as this wastes energy, too. Also switch your equipment off when you take a longer break or finish your work.
At this time, there are still some parts that are not reusable. Wincor Nixdorf
International GmbH guarantees the environmentally safe disposal of these parts in a Recycling Center, which is certified pursuant to ISO 9001 and
ISO 14001.
So don’t discard your display on the garbage when it has served its time, but take advantage of the environmentally smart, up-to-date recycling methods!

GENERAL NOTES
General Notes
The BA63 customer display is mainly used in POS installations which are designed in modular form. It is either securely screwed to the POS keyboard or installed near it so that it is ideally positioned in the cashier’s field of vision.
The display is a vacuum florescent display (VFD) with two lines, each with
20 alphanumeric characters. The standard character set and corresponding country code are implemented. Implementation of VFD technology ensures that the customer display is ergonomically designed to achieve a high degree of readability, irrespective of the cashier’s angle of vision.
The display is connection to the point of sale system via a RS232C interface. The voltage (12 V DC) is also supplied via this interface.
The following two BA63 customer displays are available to meet individual installation requirements:

BA63 customer display with base/rotating table
Customer display with adaptor for tube-based installation

CUSTOMER DISPLAY CONTROL
Customer Display Control
The customer display is controlled via software. The commands are entered with the appropriate ESC sequences. The following functions are available: n The cursor can be moved to the desired position; n The customer display can be deleted; n The characters from the cursor to the end of the line can be deleted; n An identification code can be requested; n Country-specific character sets can be selected; n A self-test can be performed.
11
CONTROL SEQUENCES
Control Sequences
The customer display operates in VT100 mode, i.e. it emulates a subset of the VT100 ESC sequences and control bytes. These are illustrated in the following:
Backspace (without deleting)
Line feed
Carriage return
Delete display
Position cursor
Delete to end of line
Set country code
Call display identification
BS
LF
CR
ESC [2J
ESC [Py;PxH
ESC [0K
ESC Rn
ESC [0c
Backspace (without deleting)
The BS command (hexadecimal 08) moves the cursor one space to the left.
If there is a character in the position to which the cursor moves, it is not deleted. This command is ignored if the cursor is already at the very start of the line.
Line feed
The LF command (hexadecimal 0A) moves the invisible cursor down a line if it is positioned in one of the first three lines of the display. The column position remains unchanged.
The position of the cursor remains unchanged if it is already in the last line.
The contents of the last line are copied to the first line and the last line is deleted.
12
CONTROL SEQUENCES
Carriage return
The cursor is moved to the start of the line in which it is currently positioned when the CR command (hexadecimal 0D) is entered. The command is ignored if the cursor is already at the start of the line.
Delete display
The display can be deleted with this ESC sequence. The cursor position remains unchanged. The ESC sequence is as follows:
Code
ESC ‘[‘ ‘2’ ‘J’
Hexadezimal
1B 5B 32 4A
Position cursor
The cursor position can be defined with this ESC sequence. The cursor is not visible on the display whilst this is being carried out. The following ESC sequence (for example) can be implemented:
Code Hexadezimal
ESC ‘[‘ ‘Py’ ; ‘Px’ ‘H’ 1B 5B 31 3B 31 48
The parameters are transferred as ASCII characters and have the following meaning:
Parameter Meaning
Py This parameter defines the line.
Px This parameter defines the column.
Example
The parameters are to replaced with the following values if you wish to position the cursor at the very start of the first line:
13
CONTROL SEQUENCES
ESC ‘[‘ ‘1’; ‘1’ ‘H’
If you select 0 for the parameter value, this is interpreted as 1 by the display. If, on the other hand, you select a value which is greater than the maximum line and column value, the display will interpret this value as the maximum value permissible.
The cursor is positioned in the first column of the first line if no parameter values are entered.
Delete to end of line
This command deletes the characters from the cursor, cursor position included, to the end of the line. The position of the cursor remains unchanged.
The ESC sequence is as follows:
Code
ESC ‘[‘ ‘0’ ‘K’
Hexadezimal
1B 5B 30 4B
Set country code
The following ESC sequence is implemented in order to select a countryspecific character set:
Code
ESC ‘R’ ‘n’
Hexadezimal
1B 52 02
The hexadecimal value n corresponds to the country code and defines the country-specific character set. The German character set corresponds to the default setting.

CABLE CONNECTION
Cable Connection
The customer display cable features a mini DIN connector at one end
(which is connected to the customer display) and a 9-pin D sub connector at the other (which is connected to the COM interface of the point of sale system). Similarly, the voltage (12V) is also supplied to the display via the
COM interface.
The pins of the 6-pin mini DIN socket and the 9-pin D sub socket are assigned as follows:

TEST FUNCTIONS
Test Functions
The internal RAM of the processor and the EPROM are tested during the start-up phase. All display elements light up for approx. 0.5 seconds if no errors are detected during the test. The display remains blank if an error is isolated.
Starting the test by entering a code
The identification is called with the following ESC sequence:
ESC [0c
The display runs through the self-test program once when the code is transmitted to the display. Code:
ESC [?2;nn;2;2;20c
The current version number (00-99) will be indicated in place of nn.
The test software performs the following functions: n The microprocessor and the RAM within the processor are tested. Errors detected are displayed.
n Formation and comparison of the PROM checksum. Errors detected are displayed.
n The display type and version number of the microprogram are displayed.
n The parameters of the serial interface are displayed. The baud rate and the parity parameters are output.
n Display is tested by generating a rough chess board pattern.
n Display is tested by generating a detailed chess board pattern.
