RECYCLING THE BA63
Recycling the BA63
Environmental protection does not begin when it comes time to dispose of the BA63; 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 BA63 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.

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:

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.
