EXTERNAL CONNECTIONS

As required by the hardware configuration, connect the keyboard to its host computer and other

peripheral devices as shown in Figures 2 and 3. Note that the specific use for each connector on

the keyboard is marked adjacent to each connector. Depending on the make and model of the

user's equipment, the following cables and/or adapters may need to be supplied by the user to

complete the installation:

Standard 6-foot cable, 6-Pin Modular to 6-Pin Modular - UTC Part No. CAB20137 or equivalent

Keyboard adapter 2-Inch, 5 Pin DIN Male to 6-Pin Mini DIN Female - UTC Part No.900-0839 or equivalent

Keyboard adapter 12-Inch, 5 Pin DIN Female to 6 Pin Mini Din Male - UTC Part No. 901-5009A or equivalent

CASH DRAWER JUMPER CONNECTIONS (PRINTER FIRED)

As shown in Figure 3, the Series 600 Keyboard has two status cash drawer ports. Each port is

selectable by use of the jumper connector located next to the MAIN keyboard connector. This

jumper connector is used to make the keyboard compatible with the different printer and cash

drawer connections required by various manufacturers. NOTE: JUMPERS COME

UNINSTALLED. FALURE TO PROPERLY SET JUMPER COULD DAMAGE KEYBOARD.

Jumper pin set A and B is used with cash drawer 1: pin set C and D is used with cash drawer 2.

Installing the jumper on the B (drawer 1) and D (drawer 2) side of the connector causes the status

signal from the cash drawer to be applied on pin 2 of the related cash drawer port. Installing the

jumper on the A (drawer 1) and C (drawer 2) side of the connector causes the status signal from

the cash drawer to be applied on pin 6 of the related cash drawer port which allows pin 2 to be

used to open the drawer. Shown below are the pin connections for the cash drawer ports for each

position of jumper. Identified by an "X" are the jumper setting used with typical Epson and Ithaca

Peripheral devices.

PROGRAMMING

PROGRAMMING KEYBOARD OPERATING PARAMETERS

The operating parameters of the keyboard can be configured (programmed) remotely from the

host computer or locally at the keyboard. Keyboard programming in the remote mode sets the

setup locally at the keyboard. Note: All keyboards come from the factory programmed with

a default set of parameters.

1. Connect main keyboard port to PC or Host, Aux keyboard port to IBM Compatible PC

keyboard.

2. Swipe the PROGRAM CARD supplied with the keyboard in the magnetic stripe reader MSR).

3. All LED indicators turn on and the keyboard annunicator beeps three times.

4. After step 3 is complete, LED indicator (1) will flash continuously to indicate that the keyboard

programming mode is active.

5. For a summary of the parameters that can be programmed in the local mode, refer to Table 3.

6. Follow the instructions given in Table 2 for the applicable Function Code(s) to program the

keyboard for the desired parameter(s). Note that sequence of instructions provided in Table 2

is in Function Code numerical order.

7. When programming is complete, exit the local programming mode by typing 99 on the Series

600 Keyboard numeric keypad or by swiping the Program Card. This returns the keyboard to
