Manufacturers Certification and notes

Recycling the BA63GV

Environmental protection does not begin when it is time to dispose of the BA63GV; it begins with the manufacturer. This product was designed according to our internal norm “Environmental conscious product design and development”. The BA63 is manufactured without the use of CFCs und 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. At this time, there are still some parts that are not reusable. Wincor Nixdorf guarantees the environmentally safe disposal of these parts in a Recycling Center, which is certified pursuant to ISO 9001. So don’t simply throw your BA63GV on the scrap heap when it has served its time, but take advantage of the environmentally smart, up-to-date recycling methods! Please contact your competent branch office for information on how to return and re-use devices and disposable materials. 01750153250 B BA63GV Graphic Customer Display – Operating Manual 8

Overview

Overview

The BA63GV customer display is mainly used in POS installations that are designed in modular form. It is available in several forms: swivel based, pole mounted or keyboard-mounted. The display is a graphical vacuum florescent display (VFD) with a screen resolution of 256 ´ 64 pixels. It is capable of displaying 2 or 4 lines of up to 32 Latin characters per line. Besides the built-in ASCII character set, it also supports 2-byte character sets downloadable via software. The character resolution for the standard (1-byte code) character is 8 ´ 16 (W ´ H) pixels and, the 2-byte code character is 16 ´ 16 pixels The device has the capability to display downloaded bitmap pictures. With this feature, user can display user-define image. The display is connected to the point of sale system through a RS232C or USB interface. The power (12V DC) for the display is also supplied via this interface. The following three mounting options of the display are available to meet individual installation requirements:

Control Sequences

Control Sequences

The customer display is controlled via software commands. The commands are entered with the appropriate ESC sequences. The following functions are available: The BA63G customer display operates in VT100 mode, i.e. it emulates a subset of the VT100 ESC sequences and control bytes, plus vendor-specific commands.

Control Sequences

Screen Coordinates

Text-mode

The display area is divided into 4 lines, of 32 Latin characters per line. The coordinate of the displayed characters are always with reference to the upper left corner of the character.

Pixel-mode

In pixel-mode, the position is addressable by specifying x and y coordinates of the pixel. 17 BA63GV Graphic Customer Display – Operating Manual 01750153250 B

Control Sequences

Control codes and Command Description

This section describes the control code and escape commands supported by the device. Unless stated otherwise, all commands are common for both RS232C and USB interface.

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 first position 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 of the cursor remains unchanged. The position of the cursor remains unchanged if it is already in the last line. The contents of the screen are scrolled up one line and the last line is deleted.

Carriage return

The cursor is moved to the beginning 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 beginning of the line.

Clear Display

The display can be cleared with this ESC sequence. The cursor position remains unchanged. The ESC sequence is as follows:

Code

ESC [ 2 J

Hexadecimal

1B 5B 32 4A 01750153250 B BA63GV Graphic Customer Display – Operating Manual 18

Control Sequences

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

ESC [ ; H 1B 5B 31 3B 31 48 The parameters are transferred as ASCII characters and have the following meaning:

Parameter

Py Px

Example Hexadecimal Meaning

Line number Column number 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 permitted. The cursor is positioned in the first column of the first line if no parameter values are entered.

Note: This command is not applicable if the selected country code is Thai.

Delete to end of line

This command deletes the characters from the cursor, cursor position is included, to the end of the line. The position of the cursor remains unchanged.

The ESC sequence is as follows:
