GENERAL AUTHORIZATION

Recycling the TA59

En vi ron men tal pro tec ti on does not be gin when it co mes

time to dis po se of the TA59; 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 TA59 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.

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

guarantees the environmentally safe disposal of these parts in the

Recycling Center, which is certified pursuant to ISO 9001 and 14001.

So don’t simply throw your TA59 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 or the Recycling Center Paderborn

(for European countries) for information on how to return and re-use devices

and disposable materials under the following fax number:

E-Mail: info@wincor-nixdorf.com

We look forward to your message.

The TA59 Keyboard

General

The alphanumeric keyboard TA59 is equipped with a central keylock and

optionally with a magnetic stripe card reader or a touchpad. The keypad

without touchpad consists of 137 keys (136 keys in the US version), the

keypad with touchpad consists of 125 keys (124 keys in the US version).

Unlike other standard PC keyboards, the TA59 has a flexible key layout,

e.g. several keys can be grouped vertically or horizontally to form double or

quadruple keys. Only one key code is generated by each multiple key.

Key bo ard TA59 (with mag ne tic stri pe card rea der and touch pad)

GENERAL

Keypads

The TA59 keyboard differs from standard PC keyboards by virtue of its

multiple function key concept. This concept permits a flexible key layout, i.e.

double or quadruple keys can be used on the TA59. This is possible in the

following keypads:

In the upper row of function keys;

In the keypad to the right of the numeric keypad.

Only one key code is transmitted by each multiple key.

Only one key code is generated by each double or quadruple key. Different

key codes can be set for the multiple keys by rotating the key caps. These

caps have a guide cylinder that is shifted when the cap is rotated, resulting

in different key codes. This will lead to problems if not observed

(see page 7).

Incorrect key caps on the TA59 keyboard can be changed on the spot.

Dummy caps can also be used. The keyboard is divided into 5 keypads:

Alphanumeric keypad keys

Function key keypad 1

Numeric keypad

Function key keypad 2

Function key keypad 3

Connection method

The connector for the keyboard is a standard 6-pin mini-DIN connector.

Releasing the Cable Connection

Never remove a cable from a connector socket by simply pulling on the

cable. Always remove the cable by the connector housing. Please follow the

instructions below when removing cables:

Turn off all switches to the mains and electrical equipment.

Remove all mains cables from the shockproof sockets installed in the

building.

Loosen all cables on the electrical equipment.

Using your thumb and forefinger,

pull gently on plastic connector

housing. Removing the

connector from the socket. This

unlocks the connector.

Now remove the connector from

the socket.

RELEASING THE CABLE CONNECTION

Key switch

The TA59 keyboard is equipped with a key switch with 5 switch positions.

Switch position 0 is the basic position; switch positions 1-4 are provided for

customer-specific applications. In positions 0 and 1, the key can be

removed.

The switch position on the lock

by T is intended for use by Field

Engineering. From switch

position 0, the key provided can

be turned to position T only. This

key is not included in the scope

of supply.

The key switch has only one

closure, i.e. there is only one set

of keys for all keylocks that

includes the above-mentioned

key variants for the various

switch positions.

KEY SWITCH

Magnetic Stripe Card Reader (optional)

The TA59 can also be equipped with a magnetic stripe card reader (option)

which can be used to read up to three tracks simultaneously each time a

card is pulled through.

Using the magnetic stripe card reader

Pull the magnetic card evenly and quickly, from right to left, through the slot

on the magnetic stripe card reader. Make sure that the magnetic stripe is

facing the keys.

Note the following precautions when handling magnetic cards:

Never allow magnetic cards to come into contact with liquids.

Never bend or fold magnetic cards.

Never expose magnetic cards to a magnetic field.

Insert the magnetic card in the special slot provided on the reader from the

right-hand side only; inserting the card at another location could damage the

read heads.

In order to ensure that the quality of reading results is maintained, clean the

magnetic stripe card reader at least once a week. To do this, use the

special cleaning card that can be ordered from Wincor Nixdorf.

USING THE MAGNETIC STRIPE CARD READER

Touchpad (optional)

The touchpad replaces the mouse and is appropiate when there is lack of

space for using a mouse. The touchpad takes over the functions of a mouse

and is operated with the finger.

Do not press on the touchpad with a hard or a sharp object like e.g. a ball

point pen. The touchpad could be damaged.

Do not contaminate the touchpad with dirt like liquids or grease.

Do not put heavy objects on the touchpad, the control buttons or keyboard.

Operating

The touchpad requires a pointer such as a finger. To use the Touchpad,

simply move your finger tip across the surface in the direction of the screen

pointer.

The left mouse button is released by a shortly tapping on the pad. Double-

tapping corresponds to a double click of the left mouse button. You receive

the Drag and Drop function by selecting the object, leaving the finger on the

pad, moving the object and dropping it into the new position.

The control buttons below are used like the left or right mouse button. Press

the left button to position the cursor and press the right mouse to display the

context menu.

The touchpad works only under a BEETLE system from D2-CPU upwards.

It does not work under former versions, e.g. C1, C2, D1.

OPERATING

PAD Con trol Buttons

Programming the TA59

By programming the TA59 you have the possibility to flexibly adjust the

keyboard to your special needs.

You can

design the keyboard layout according to your needs by - for example -

moving the numeric block to any place on the keyboard,

define several levels for the keycodes, thus using the same key as a

functional key on one level and for text input on another level,

define header and trailer for each data track of MSR-controller and for

keylockswitch,

port your existing software application with less effort, as you can keep up

the key codes.

Modes

The TA59 keyboard works in different modes:

“Windows Mode” This is the default state of the keyboard (not

programmed)

“DOS Mode” This state is used by the Retail Device Interface

(RDI), it is entered by rsp. commands from Windows

Mode

“Programmed” In this state a table has been sent to the keyboard and

is stored in Flash memory; the table controls what

codes are sent for keys and for the component key

lock

Moreover there are mixed modes possible:

“Programmed” for the keys

“Windows” rsp. for the component key lock

“DOS-Mode”

MODES

The DOS Mode is primarily used by RDI, the Windows Mode is used by the

OPOS components. A description of this protocol can be sent to you by

Wincor Nixdorf on request. When developing new software you should

generally use the Windows Mode.

Main functions of the Programs

The dialogue utility KBUTI.EXE serves to:

program the codes for the keys and the component key lock

send a keyboard table to the keyboard

receive a table from the keyboard and to store it in a file

reset a keyboard into its default state, i.e. Windows Mode and default

codes for the keys

check for keyboard state (default or programmed)

check release no. of loader and firmware module (data, version,

modulsize..)

upgrade firmware module (KBUTI.EXE version 1.20 and higher)

So the functionality of the programs

SENDKBT.EXE

RCVKBT.EXE

KB2DEF.EXE

KBCHKDEF.EXE

is part of the dialogue utility. These 4 programs therefore are intended to be

used in conjunction with .BAT files. They return values that can be checked

using ERRORLEVEL. The values returned together with an example you

will find in the Readme file.

Files containing keyboard tables for TA59 have the extension .KBT. Files

containing a firmware upgrade module have the extension .FRM.
