BRIEF INTRODUCTION  
THE USER’ S MANUAL  
The purpose of this manual is to guide the user in the initial  
installation and general use of the Posiflex PST7700 series of POS terminals. It  
does not explain any application software that may be supplied with it.  
We intend to provide our customers with all technology advantages  
available by evolving the product design to incorporate appropriate changes  
and improvements. So some detail differences may exist between this manual  
and the equipment supplied.  
For more detailed or technical information please refer to the CD-  
ROM disc associated or consult our authorized dealers or visit our web site:  
THE PRODUCT  
The Posiflex range of PST7700 terminals have been designed and  
manufactured to meet the high end demand on POS systems. It incorporates all  
the advances of PC technology within a rugged housing designed for use in a  
hostile retail environment. By providing an integrated design, It has retained  
many of the secure features of a traditional ECR and has avoided the wiring  
“spaghetti” associated with more traditional PC solutions. This Open Standard  
Architecture ensures that this terminal can use the PC application software and  
development tools that are now inexpensively available and abundant.  
The terminal may be used as a self-contained unit or by using the  
integrated network interface as one of several terminals in a network system  
controlled by a “back office” computer. Versatile options can apply to it too.  
An optional CD-ROM drive or an optional FDD can be installed in  
the PST7700 system or supplied later as an upgrade kit. The PST7700 system  
also provides an optional power management kit that includes a CR port with  
status sensibility for controlling 1 or 2 Posiflex printer drive type cash drawers  
and the most advanced UPS functions to safeguard the POS operation against  
intermittent power failure with another option UPS battery, careless touch on  
the power switch, and to support unmanned remote account consolidation  
operation, etc..

can be easily inserted into the base  
tube after first inserting the signal  
cable. Pull out the release button on  
the base tube to allow the inner  
tube of the display head to travel  
Base Tube  
down into the base tube. Please ensure that the latching track on the inner-pole  
matches up with the release button. Open the back door and find the connector  
marked “customer display” or “VFD”. Please remove the VFD terminator  
from this connector and store in a safe place. Insert the cable plug of the  
customer display into customer display connector until a click sound is heard.  
Please NOTE: The VFD connector must always be populated  
either with the VFD terminator or a plug from the customer display  
(Failure to do this will prevent COM1 from working correctly).  
Close the back door then slide the two door latches outward and the  
installation is completed. Please refer to the instructions in the part “TO USE  
THE PST SYSTEM” for later adjustment on the most comfortable position  
and direction of the customer display.  
PROGRAMMABLE KEYBOARD  
The PST terminal is equipped with an extremely versatile  
programmable keyboard. The application of this keyboard requires no software  
driver and is free from any software compatibility issue. This keyboard comes  
in 2 different layouts : KB112 for PST7700/PST7705 and KB136 for  
PST7730/PST7735. The key tops of the 2 layouts are different in their basic  
sizes, so all the accessories for the 2 layouts cannot be mutually exchanged.  
However, they are common in structure.  
The keyboard is shipped from the factory with the key tops fitted, but  
Part 9  
without the transparent key caps (these are in the accessories box). Also  
supplied with the keyboard are 4 die cut self-adhesive A4 label sheets that may  
be printed by most conventional means with whatever legends are required by  
the application.  
Each type of key top (with transparent key cap) listed in the table at  
end of BRIEF INTRODUCTION can be separately purchased in certain  
quantities and applied for variety in keyboard layout presentation.  
The user may use the  
key clip (to be found in the  
Key clip  
accessory box) to pull off the  
key caps and apply the printed  
Transparent key cap  
legend label on the key top then  
recap the transparent key cap for  
identification.  
Legend label  
The user may also use  
a flat bladed screwdriver (not  
the key clip) to remove the key  
tops for rearrangement of the  
key tops. However, it is  
absolutely important to correctly  
orientate the key tops before they are inserted into the keyboard frame; failure  
to do so could result in permanent damage. Please note that on at least one  
side of the square stem of the key top, there is a small latching tab to match  
with a corresponding tab on the bottom inner side of the guide hole as in the  
example drawing above.

INTERNAL KB WEDGE BARCODE SCANNER  
The PST system is designed to allow several PS/2 KB interface  
devices connected in a chain share the KB port. The terminal is supplied with  
two devices already in the chain. The first is the programmable keyboard  
followed by the magnetic stripe reader (MSR) if installed.  
It is possible to add additional devices to this chain in either an  
internal or external manner subject to a maximum of 5 devices. For external  
connection, open the front door using the mechanical key and connect the KB  
interface device to the PS/2 KB port inside. However internal connection is  
Part 10  
preferred for a permanent device like a bar code scanner in POS business.  
To access the internal connection you must remove the keyboard. To  
do this first unlock the front door lock and then remove the two mounting  
screws from the underneath of the chassis located just behind the front edge of  
the terminal. Once these screws have been removed it is possible to lift the  
front edge of the keyboard housing and then rotate the keyboard “up and back”.  
This then exposes the keyboard controller on the underside of the keyboard.  
Connector for the external KB port is normally inserted into socket on  
controller board of programmable keyboard. To add an internally connected  
device, remove this cable from the controller board and insert the new device  
between them. Match the top edge of the programmable keyboard with rear  
cabinet of main unit and close it to the bottom chassis. Before closing it, the  
cables must be fixed to the bottom chassis with a cable tie and a piece of cable  
cover at side of bottom chassis must be taken away. Mount back the two  
screws from bottom side then the installation for internally connected KB  
wedge device is done.  
We strongly advise users to consult with their dealers to have an  
authorized technician for such installation.

PRINTER  
Assemble the printer following the instructions supplied with the  
printer.  
Remove the battery cover as in UPS battery section. The user may  
find the UPS battery lying in the battery compartment if this option is ordered.  
Connect the printer cable through the opening on the wall toward the rear room  
of the cabinet to the connector marked “LPT” (if the printer is a parallel  
printer). Or connect the cable to a proper “COM” port (COM 1 through COM  
4) according to the definition on the application program (if the printer is a  
serial printer). The 24 VDC power cable (CCBLA-146A to be separately  
purchased) should be inserted to the 24 VDC connector in the rear room if the  
printer is to use this power supply from the terminal. These cables should pass  
through the opening on the wall where the UPS battery cover joins the case.  
Replace the battery cover and connect the signal and power cables to the  
appropriate connectors on the underside of the printer. Finally place the printer  
on the printer platform of the terminal.  
Part 11  
CASH DRAWER  
The PST7700 installed with power management kit option is able to  
control most of the common cash drawers available on the market. However, it  
is recommended that the Posiflex CR-3100 or CR-3200 or CR-4000 or CR-  
4100 or CR-4210 be used since the terminal has been designed to compliment  
these cash drawers both mechanically and electrically.  
The PST7700 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  
control of the COM1 serial port.  
Use the cable supplied with the CR-3X00/4X00 cash drawer (Part No.  
CCBLA-180) for connection to the CR port in PST7700. This cable has a 6  
pole plug at one end and a 8 pole plug at the other. The 8 pole plug should be  
inserted into the connector marked: “signal cable from POS Printer” at the rear  
of the cash drawer. The 6 pole plug should be inserted in the connector marked  
“CR” found in the rear room of the terminal.  
The user may also use the optional 2-in-1 cash drawer control cable  
CCBLA-238 to control 2 cash drawers in 1 port. It has a 6 pole plug at one end  
and two 8 pole plugs at the other. The 6 pole plug should be inserted in the  
connector marked “CR” found in the rear room of the terminal. Each 8 pole  
plug should be inserted into the connector marked “signal cable from POS  
Printer” at the rear of one of the cash drawers. The cable lengths for the two 8  
pole plugs are different. Use the shorter one for the original cash drawer  
“CR1” and use the longer one for the extended cash drawer “CR2” that will be  
distinguished by the software command.  
AC POWER  
The power supply operating voltage must be checked and altered if  
necessary. This must be done WITHOUT any connection to the AC power.  
The operating voltage adjustment switch is located close to the power  
input connector in the rear room.  
The switch should indicate either 115 volts or 230 volts. When set at  
115 volts the acceptable power supply voltage range is 90 volts to 130 volts  
whilst at 230 volts the acceptable power supply voltage ranges from 190 volts  
to 260 volts.  
The power supply cable should first be connected to the power inlet  
(but NOT the wall socket). This cable should be secured to the latticed bottom  
of the rear room using a cable tie provided. The cable may exit either at the  
side or back of the rear compartment by using the relevant breakout section in  
the chassis plastic molding.  
Part 12  
USING THE PST SYSTEM  
BEFORE POWER ON A Check List  
It is very important that you check the following operational points:  
Ventilation  
This terminal must NOT be operated in an environment with  
restricted ventilation. There must be at least 25 mm air clearance around any  
top or side ventilation holes with a free flow of air around the unit at ALL  
times for the installation.  
Operating Environment  
The equipment must not be operated or stored in extremes of both  
temperature and humidity/moisture.  
(Operating range 0°C to + 35°C and up to 80% relative humidity –  
non condensing max. wet bulb 26°C)  
Power Supply  
The operating voltage of the power supply should be checked to  
confirm that it is set within the range of the local power supply. The power  
cable, the power outlet and any power fusing arrangements must conform to  
local safety regulations.  
UPS Battery (option)  
General care:  
The UPS battery is consumables beyond product warranty. Please  
definitely observe the alerts in beginning of this manual. If the equipment is to  
be powered off for more than few days, please always disconnect the battery  
from the system. Reconnect it and turn on the system to recharge the battery  
for 1 ~ 2 hours every 3 months for temperature lower than 30°C. Recharge for  
1 ~ 2 hours every month for temperature over 30°C. Temperature above 40°C  
must be strictly avoided as it could cause termination of battery life and  
unexpected result even if the battery is not in work. The UPS battery can  
support basically the data preservation and smooth running of the system  
during intermittent or few minutes (3 ~ 8 min. depending on loading and  
battery condition) power failure if the power management option is installed.  
Battery replacement:  
In the preloaded OS for a PST7700 with power management option,  
there is a built in utility Power Manager that will indicate the UPS battery  
status of the battery. When an installed UPS battery is found to be disabled,  
please replace the used up UPS battery at power off as soon as possible.  
Emergency treatment:  
The battery is constructed maintenance free and leakproof. Its storage  
Part 13  
room also provides very good protection as long as the ambient temperature  
remains below 30°C and the ventilation of the PST system is free. However,  
should any accident happen and the sulfuric acid from the battery spills on skin  
or clothing, wash immediately with water. If the acid comes in contact with  
eyes, rinse eyes with large amount of clean water and see a doctor immediately.  
A larger external battery may be connected to give an extended operation.  
Please check your dealer about this capability when required.  
WARNING:  
If there are any signs of over charging or leakage of electrolyte  
please contact your dealer immediately  
Printer DC Power Supply  
This power supply is designed to support a Posiflex POS printer via  
the right cable. Careless use of it will cause permanent damage.  
VGA Display Port  
The VGA port in the PST terminal supports a 12 volt DC power to the  
monitor inside the VGA signal cable. This may cause permanent damage to  
any other monitor not designed to use this facility. Please use only a designed  
monitor with the PST equipment. Consult your dealer if you have any doubt.  
(Note: 12 volt DC power is available on pin 9 of the VGA connector and  
is supported by the UPS function if the power management option is installed.)  
The video memory of this port shares the system memory. The video  
memory size can be set in the CMOS setting to match the user’ s application.  
Customer Display Port  
The customer display connector must always be occupied either by  
the terminator plug (as supplied) or by one of the family of Posiflex customer  
displays. Without this provision the COM1 port and the cash drawer control  
(when power management option is installed) may fail to work correctly.  
Serial Port – COM1  
COM1 serial port must always be occupied by a suitable serial device  
or COM1 terminator (as supplied). If this port is left vacant or connected with  
something like a mouse the customer display port and the cash drawer control  
(when power management option is installed) may fail to work correctly.  
LED INDICATORS  
Besides the LED on MSR unit there are another two LED’ s on the  
main unit in the area with the 6-position electronic key. The green LED at right,  
called as the power LED, and the orange LED at left, called as the Standby  
LED, together exhibit several different system statuses depending on whether  
or not an UPS battery and the power management kit are fitted.  
(a) Without an UPS battery the power LED lights to show that the system is  
turned ON under presence of AC power. The standby LED indicates that  
Part 14  
AC power is available when the system is powered off.  
(b) With a UPS battery fitted together with the power management kit:  
1. The standby LED lights steadily to indicate the presence of AC  
power at system powered off. The system cannot be turned on if  
the AC power fails. The power LED goes ON and the standby  
LED goes OFF when the system is powered up.  
2. During power failure period at system turned on, the power LED  
flashes to indicate that the system is running on battery power.  
3. The power LED turns OFF and the standby LED flashes rather  
fast as the UPS battery approaches a discharged condition to  
remind the operator that power will soon finish. In few seconds,  
the whole system will soon be automatically turned off and both  
LEDs will be OFF.  
In case the AC power resumes during the usage of the battery, the  
flashing LED will keep on flashing for few seconds till the AC supply is stable.  
POWER ON/OFF CONTROL  
The PST7700 terminal implements electronic power control, such that  
the main power to the system may be controlled by many methods as below:  
1. Hardware power switch  
2. Software OFF command  
3. Automatic power ON control  
4. Emergency power OFF  
Switching from OFF to ON requires a normal supply of the AC power.  
Hardware Power Switch  
This button is located on the lower right hand front edge of the  
keyboard and can be used to turn the system on and off alternatively if no  
optional power management kit installed. When this option is installed, the  
external switch can also be programmed to be an ON only switch through  
software command so that when this switch is accidentally pressed during  
system turned on, the system just remains on and unaffected.  
Software Off Command  
The system may also be shut down under software control if the  
optional power management kit is installed. Please just follow the arrangement  
by your system integrator for this capability.  
Automatic Power On Control  
The system may also turn on according to some preset conditions  
such as Modem Ring Up and Alarm Clock Wake Up or LAN Wake Up.  
To utilize Modem Ring Up or Alarm Clock Wake Up function, the  
user should enter the CMOS setup by pressing “Del” key at system boot up,  
Part 15  
choose for “PM Wake Up Events” in “Power Management Setup” and make  
the “Ring Power Up Control” enabled for Modem Ring Up or select the  
“Power Up by Alarm” for Alarm Clock Wake Up. Save the configuration and  
exit the CMOS setup program. The Preset Power On Control will then be  
ready. For LAN wakeup, an operating caller system connected through LAN to  
the system is required. It also requires a qualified networking technician to  
check the LAN chip ID of the system for the caller system to wake up.  
When the PST7700 system is turned off after a successful boot up, the  
preset automatic power on functions will keep monitoring for the preset  
conditions and turn on the system when the preset conditions are met.  
Please note that if the PST7700 system is improperly turned off  
before a complete boot up procedure, the above preset power on control  
functions will be disabled until next turning off after a complete boot up.  
Emergency Power Off  
In case of serious system halt due to any reason, the system could fail  
to be powered off through normal means. Press and hold the Power ON/OFF  
Switch for Emergency Power Off. Release the switch after the system powered  
off. It will take about 4 seconds if no power management kit installed and it  
takes about 10 seconds if the option installed. If there appears to give a special  
coded beep tone in the pattern “short, long, short, long, short” prior to the  
system power off in this process, please remove the AC power and wait for  
few minutes to allow the hardware registers to reset (If there is no such beep,  
AC removal is not required). Then you may restart the system and take  
remedial action against the precious failure.  
CRT MONITOR (for PST7700/PST7730)  
Mechanical Adjustments  
The PST terminal has been designed with a novel support for the  
monitor. Beside the usual tilt and swivel mechanism, this terminal has  
incorporated “slide” capability so that the monitor position may be fully  
adjusted. At all times the monitor is firmly supported on the display platform,  
this gives a stable wobble free image and an absence of mechanical damage.  
Display Controls  
There are 1 power ON/OFF switch and 2 control knobs at front and  
adjustment holes for V-size, H-phase and focus at rear.  
Display Utility Driver  
The end user of the PST terminals is not supposed to install the utility  
drivers personally. If an optional preloaded OS is ordered, the required driver  
will be already installed in the preloaded OS. However, the driver will always  
Part 16  
LCD MONITOR (for PST7705/PST7735)  
Mechanical Adjustments  
The 12.1” LCD color display is integrated on display platform to give  
the operator the clearest view. The display may be lifted from the horizontal to  
the upright position and rotated through a total of 90° (left 45° max., right 45°  
max.). Please do not to attempt to exceed these limits.  
Display Controls  
There are some push buttons on side of the LCD panel including  
power ON/OFF switch and the OSD knob. Please use OSD knob and find all  
the controllable on screen display.  
Display Utility Driver  
Please refer to “Display Utility Driver” section for CRT monitor.  
CUSTOMER DISPLAY  
All customer displays of the PST series support versatile easy and  
secure mechanical adjustments on sideway slide (except PD-101), height  
adjustment, horizontal rotation and up/down tilt.  
The display frame of PD-2201, PD-2301 and PD-7201 can slide  
horizontally for a total sliding distance of 100 mm. For height adjustment,  
please pull out the release button, adjust the display to the height required, and  
then release the button switch. The horizontal rotation is almost 360 degrees  
for any required viewing direction. The up/down tilt of PD-2201, PD-2301 and  
PD-7201 provide 2 different view angles ---14.5° and 30°. However, there are  
8 viewing angles for PD-101 ranging from -2.5° to 60°.  
PROGRAMMABLE KEYBOARD  
The standard programmable keyboard for PST7700/7705 is a 8 x 14  
matrix layout keyboard coded as KB112. The keyboard for PST7730/7735 is  
coded as KB136 which provides at the lower part a keyboard layout  
resembling the standard PC keyboard of each country.  
6 Position Key-Lock  
The extraordinary 6 position key switch in programmable keyboard  
on PST series provides a multi-page capability and excellent superiority  
against any other similar product. The switch positions are named: LP, LCK,  
L1, L2, L3, L4. The position LCK may be marked as “ ”. This position LCK  
is designed to provide a “Security Lock-Off” function. With the key at this  
position, all KB input is prohibited to prevent unauthorized data/command  
input. With the key at any other position, the whole programmable keyboard  
can be programmed as each independently different keyboard. In other words,  
this keyboard has the power of 5 programmable keyboards plus a “Security  
Lock-Off”. The key may only be removed from positions LCK and L1.  
Part 17  
There are 4 keys supplied with each keyboard and the lock is so  
designed that each key may turn the 6 position key switch to correspondent  
position range. The keys are named: PRG, REG, Z, GT.  
The available positions for each key type are listed in the table below:  
ü= accessible  
û= not accessible  
PRG  
REG

Therefore, if each page is programmed for different level of authority,  
each key can be distributed for different level of management using the system.  
Instant Content Update  
The system integrator may program the keyboard to allow the instant  
WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) update function in trade-off of  
highly technical programming capability of the keyboard. The instant content  
update utilizes the Hot Key programming ability of the programmable  
keyboard that can be arranged in four steps:  
Input the  
content to be  
programmed  
Exit “hot key  
programming  
” mode  
Enter “hot key  
programming  
” mode  
Preparation  
The preparation requires a standard PS/2 keyboard connected to the  
external keyboard connector of the PST7700 series in the front door area. To  
enter the Hot Key programming mode, press the left “Alt” key and the “PRT  
SC” (“Print Screen”) key on the PS-2 keyboard at the same time and press the  
key on the programmable keyboard to be updated after two beeps from the  
system. Please then use the PS/2 keyboard to type the content to be  
programmed for that key. Press both the left “Alt” key and the “PRT SC”  
(Print Screen) again at the end to exit the Hot Key programming mode. The  
system gives 1 beep here to notify a successful input, 3 beeps for input failure.  
MSR – MAGNETIC STRIPE READER  
The Magnetic Stripe Reader (MSR) slot is located at the left side of  
the Programmable Keyboard if the MSR option is ordered when the PST  
system is equipped with the standard 112 key programmable keyboard. There  
are 3 choices of the reader types-- tracks 1+2, or 2+3 or all 3 tracks separately.  
For card reading, be sure to insert the card to the bottom with  
magnetic stripe facing the mark aside the slot. The movement of the card can  
be either inserting the card from the top surface then sliding the card down out  
Part 18  
of the slot, or sliding the card upward from the lower side of the slot till it  
reaches the top end as long as the card is a standard one. A non-standard card  
recorded without complete degaussing prior to recovery may accept only one  
direction in card reading.  
The MSR indicator will light up in green when the MSR is ready to  
read, blink during reading, and then give a green light if the reading is  
successful. The MSR indicator will turn to be red if the reading fails due to  
improper sliding or poor magnetic intensity of the magnetic stripe, the MSR  
indicator will then turn back to green when the MSR is again ready to read.  
FRONT DOOR  
At the front of the programmable keyboard there is a door with a  
mechanical lock to the right of it. Turning the key clockwise will release the  
front door lock, the door may be fully opened by hand then. This lock also  
physically locks the programmable keyboard subassembly housing to the  
chassis of the main unit, which prevents unauthorized access to the internal  
electronics. There are the external PC keyboard connector and the optional  
1.44MB 3.5” Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) behind the door.  
EXTERNAL PC KEYBOARD  
From time to time it will be necessary or more convenient to use a  
standard PC keyboard. This may be to reprogram the PST keyboard key  
definitions, or to alter some aspects of either the DOS operating system or the  
application program. The PC keyboard may be plugged into the 5 pin DIN  
socket behind the front door.  
This socket may also be used to trial a new device that is required to  
be daisy chained to the keyboard port (e.g. a table scanner). Please keep in  
mind the previously mentioned limit of 5 devices.  
3.5” FDD  
This option is a regular PC device, it accepts any 3.5” floppy diskette  
formatted to 1.44 MB or 720 KB.  
REAR ROOM  
The terminal has a rear room that covers the signal and power  
connector area and is designed to provide a tidy and secure termination for all  
cables into and out of the terminal. Cables may be secured by attaching them  
with cable ties to the lattice base of the compartment.  
Access to the rear room is gained by releasing the rear door latches.  
These are located under the lower edge of the door at either side of the door.  
They may be located by “feeling the ridges” on the latch, sliding both latches  
to the center of the door will release the door. These latches are intentionally  
stiff.  
Part 19  
PRINTER  
One of the major design features of the PST terminals is the ability to  
accommodate a very large range of printers. The terminal provides a printer  
platform where the printer can be mounted (use the Velcro strips in the  
accessories kit for fixation aid), and also provides a regulated 24 volts DC  
power line to power the printer.  
The terminal can accommodate both parallel and serial interfaces.  
Please consult the printer user manual before assembling and  
connecting any printers to the terminal.  
USB  
There are two standard USB female connectors in the rear room. Both  
support the Universal Serial Bus Specification standard 2.0 and also 1.1.  
SYSTEM PROTECTION  
In the Posiflex POS system delivered with preloaded OS, there is a  
function built in for system protection. A screen as below will pop up for a  
short period of time in operation system booting up stage.  
In normal practice, nothing  
has to be done and the system boot up  
continues. However, this function is  
useful for our end users to fight  
against virus attacks or malicious  
system invasions nowadays or even  
some possible system crash. Please  
connect a PS/2 keyboard to KB port of  
the system to engage this function if  
there in no specific instruction from  
your system integrator. Press the three key combination of “Ctrl” + “Alt” +  
“F12” at the above screen or press the key on programmable keyboard per  
your system integrator’ s arrangement.  
Please follow screen display to refresh the system back up then you  
can call for instruction on system restore from your system integrator once the  
disaster occurs.
