PROGRAMMABLE KEYBOARD & KEYPAD (OPTION)
All types of Posiflex programmable keyboards can be applied in HT
system. Most recommended keyboard models are: KB-6000, KB-6200 series
and KB-6600. Just connect it to the PS/2 KB port in the main connection area.
The application of the keyboard and the keypad KP-200 requires no software
driver and is free from any software compatibility issue. The system integrator
can program the content of the keyboard or keypad for the application software
following the technical guidance of Posiflex keyboard programming utilities.
BARCODE SCANNER (OPTION)
Modern barcode scanners applied in POS business are of KB interface
type. Most of them provide both a male and a female PS/2 KB connector.
Therefore it can be connected either to the bottom of the Posiflex
programmable keyboard with the cable fit into the strain relief groove or in
between the PS/2 KB port of the system unit and the Posiflex programmable
keyboard. The only consideration is that in programming stage of the
programmable keyboard, nothing (including the barcode scanner) should come
in between the system and the programmable keyboard. However, this should
be no problem in application phase.
When a KB interface barcode scanner is installed in HT-2212 Pro
system, a connection of a normal PS/2 keyboard or the Posiflex programmable
keyboard could become obligatory by some OS. Therefore, if there will be no
keyboard installed for such OS, it is advisory to use an USB interface type
barcode scanner instead of the PS/2 KB interface type.
PRINTER (OPTION)
There are many models of Posiflex POS printers that can be applied
in HT system. These printers cover several interface technologies. Please
connect the printer to a COM port, the LPT port or an USB port in the main
connection area depending on the printer model and then connect its power
adaptor. It is also possible to control a Posiflex wireless POS printer by
connecting a separately purchased wireless Dongle to one of the COM ports in
HT system.
CASH DRAWER (OPTION)
The RJ11 connector in main connection area of a HT system can be
used for controlling most of the common cash drawers available on the market.
However, it is recommended that the Posiflex CR-2000 (flip-top type) or
(sliding drawer type) CR-3100 / CR-3200 / CR-4000 / CR-4100 / CR-4210 /
CR-6210 be used for best compliance.
The HT system will directly control the cash drawer using the cash
drawer port (CR) both to operate the opening mechanism and to monitor the
drawer open status. Both functions may be accomplished under software
