connector of CCBLA-141 to the I/O device of PC such as a HDD if necessary.

5. Assemble the case of PC back.

Then referring to drawing below to complete the basic power and signal cabling. Note the PC should remain OFF during the connection.

4 pin Telephone plug of CCBLA-411 Rear side of PC

1. Connect the 4 pin telephone plug of CCBLA-411 to the 4 pin telephone jack on the I/O plate of CCBLA-141 which has been mounted as described above.

2. Insert the DC plug of CCBLA-411 into the jack at the bottom of the base of PD in the same way as the power adaptor. Let the cables come out of the bottom of PD2200 series through the opening at the back of base so that the PD can stand securely.

3. Now the user may turn on the PC (and the PD when it is PD2200 series) for application unless the user wants to use PD for pass through purpose (PD2200 series only).

3. Using power from POS system

for PD2201 series

This super convenient power supply method applies only to PD2201 when installed in a Posiflex PST POS system or PD2200B when connected to a

Posiflex POS system after proper setting for power in COM port. The power connection is already done when the signal connection is completed.

Power Cable

The PD2200B series can also be powered by the power adaptor supporting a Posiflex POS printer by using a separately purchased specific power cable (P/N: 20863250900). Follow steps below:

1. Check that the (+24 V DC) power adaptor plug matches the power socket. But please always keep the insertion of the power adaptor into the power socket as the very last step of the whole installation procedure.

2. Insert the 3 pin power connector from the +24 V DC power adaptor to the “+24 V DC In” jack in the connector area. Be sure to hear a click to obtain a firm contact.

3. Insert either end of the power cable (20863250900) 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.

4. Now place the base on a horizontal surface and prepare to power on.

5. Please note that when DC power connection is used, there must be no

AC power connection at the bottom of the base cabinet on the PD2200.

C. After Powering Up

A firmware version as power on sign will appear for a while and the emulation mode will appear for a while after the firmware version display. Then a blinking block-shaped cursor will appear at the left-most digit of the top row for Noritake or Futaba emulation mode and no cursor will appear for other emulation modes. The installation is now completed.

B. Display Frame Common Features

In addition to the above drawings given, both the PD2100/PD2200 series are delicately designed to have in common the following user-friendly mechanical features for most up-to-date store management systems.

Button switch

The display panel of PD2100/PD2200 series can be moved or rotated/tilted both vertically and horizontally

The overall pole height can be adjusted freely by pulling the button switch and match it to one of the concave cavities on inner pole at a proper height. Overall height of PD2100 series is adjustable from 309mm to 444mm and overall height of PD2200 series is adjustable from 291mm to 426mm.

The display frame can be slid left-and-right-wise for a total sliding distance of 100mm. It can also be rotated horizontally for almost 360 degree, however, the rotation is limited to within 360 degree to avoid the internal cable to be broken. It can further be tilted to offer 2 different viewing angles ---14.5

°,

30

° from the vertical position.

C. Cushion Against Shock

Coming from Any

Direction for PD2100 Series

Another special delicate design at bottom of PD2100S is a cushion mechanism to survive an inevitable crash or damage on pole display from certain absent - minded customers, playing children and so on. It will absorb any external stress or bump to avoid any damage of the device.

D. Stand - Plate

Accessory for PD2100 Series

The stand - plate accessory is designed to fix pole display device either on the desk with (or without) screws or at the bottom of CR3100/3200 series cash drawers.
