INSTALLATION GUIDES
CAUTION: Before installing any cables or peripherals to the terminal, please
always make certain that the system is turned off and the external
power source is removed to prevent electric hazard! Never touch
any pins within the connectors or circuits to avoid high voltage
hazard or electrostatic discharge. Failure to follow this caution may
cause damage to the unit.
SEPARATING MAIN UNIT
Press the Lock/Release button
and slide the stand assembly
to the panel downward side
to detach it from the main
unit.
In order to properly install the TP-6000 terminal, all cables must be routed
through its base. Therefore, please press the lock/release button at the rear side to
separate the main unit from the stand assembly.
However, in view of the mass distribution of the whole assembly, it is most
recommended to lay the system facing down on front panel over a soft clean flat
surface first. Press the button and slide the stand assembly to the panel downward side
to detach the stand assembly away from the back of the main unit could then be an
easier operation. This approach can also be applied when later on the main unit and
the stand assembly have to be reunited.

Align the matching pegs on the back of the main unit against one of the two
sets of matching holes on the stand base. It is recommended that the terminal be
hooked onto the lower set of holes for better stability. First aim the matching pegs
TP6000 USER’S MANUAL 3 - 4
toward the upper round part of the hole and make sure that all pegs have been
properly seated. Then slide the main unit down to move the pegs into the narrow
section of the slot until the rear latch clicks. Note that all the cables come out of the
stand from the lower edge and won’t get trapped by this mounting operation. If later
on you want to remove the main unit from the stand, you’ll have to press down the
lock/release button on back of the stand when lifting the main unit.
OPENING CABLE COVER
Insert the tip of the latchkey into a latch hole on one side near bottom of the
main unit. Turn this key counterclockwise to the end. Do the same on the opposite
side. Be sure to take the key out of the hole.
Turn Counterclockwise
Then Take Out The
Latchkey
Then push the lock/release lever on the base backward to adjust the stand to
the most horizontal position for ease of operation. Open the cable cover by pulling at
the removal hole.

Away from the machine.
TP6000 USER’S MANUAL 3 - 5
CONNECTING CABLES
Connect the required cables to the appropriate connectors. Please make sure
that each connector is connected to the right port with the correct orientation. Some
connectors, such as the LAN connector, the external FDD connector, the power
connector, the cash drawer connector, and the COM4 connector for the conversion
cable have to be inserted until a click is heard. It is recommended that connectors such
as the external VGA connector, the LPT port connector and the COM port connectors,
be screwed into place once seated. If the COM1 port must be used, the COM1
terminator that occupies the COM1 port must be removed. However, when using the
COM1 port, be sure to use devices that provide proper handshaking signals in order to
keep the cash drawer control features. A serial mouse is one example of a device that
does not support handshaking. Adjust the slack of each cable and close the cable
cover. Use the same plastic latch key that is used when removing the cable cover, but
be sure to turn it in the clockwise direction to lock the cover in place. Re-adjust the tilt
angle of the screen for best viewing.
CAUTION: Before inserting or extracting the power plug, be sure to pull the
outer sleeve of the plug away from the machine to release the
internal latch. Failure to do this could damage the power connector.
Such damage is considered to be user error, and will not be covered
by the warranty.
INSTALLING CASH DRAWERS
When there is only one cash drawer installed, connect the standard cable
CCBLA-180 or CCBLA-180-1 that comes with the cash drawer to the RJ11C jack
next to the PS2 KB connector (be careful not to connect this cable to the Modem
connector or the COM4 connector on the left).
When there are two cash drawers being installed, please purchase and use the
optional cash drawer control splitter cable CCBLA-238. The CCBLA-238 has a 6 pin
male connector at one end and two 8 pin male connectors at the other. The 6 pin
connector should be inserted in the connector marked “CR”, found on the cabling
panel of the TP6000 series. Each 8 pin connector should be inserted into the connector
TP6000 USER’S MANUAL 3 - 6
marked “signal cable from POS Printer” at the rear of each cash drawer. The cable
lengths for the two 8 pin plugs are different. Use the shorter one for the first cash
drawer “CR1” and use the longer one for the second cash drawer “CR2” that will be
controlled by the application software. Using this method, the TP6000 is capable of
controlling two cash drawers independently through software command.
WALL MOUNTING
The main part in the wall mounting kit is a bracket as shown in the picture.
When mounting the TP-6000 bracket to a wall, be sure that the widest part of each of
the four holes faces in the upward direction (see picture below). Align the four
matching pegs on the back of the main unit to the four matching holes in the bracket
to hold the main unit in a similar manner as installing the main unit onto the stand
assembly. The stand assembly is not used with a wall mount installation.
Matching Holes

Screw At Screw Holes Through Matching Holes
LOCATION FOR INSTALLATION
Since the stand assembly is not involved in wall mount installation, only the
space required for wall mount application will be taken into consideration. The space
required is 375 mm in width and 315 mm in height.
For desk top/counter applications, the adjustable stand assembly requires a
base 270 mm deep and 260 mm wide. However, please take the main unit into
consideration. If the main unit is tilted to the near vertical position, the total height can
TP6000 USER’S MANUAL 3 - 7
be either 360 mm or 380 mm depending on the adjusted position. When the main unit
is tilted to near horizontal position, the total height required is 275 mm.
TP6000 USER’S MANUAL 3 - 8
USING THE TOUCH POS
APPLICATION ENVIRONMENT
It is very important that you check the following operational guidelines:
Ventilation
This terminal must NOT be operated in an environment with restricted
ventilation. The installation should be such that there is at least 25mm air clearance
around any top or side ventilation holes. The installation must also be such that there
is a free flow of air around the unit at ALL times.
Operating Environment
The equipment must not be operated or stored in extreme temperature or
humidity/moisture.
(Operating range is 5°C to 40°C and up to 80% humidity – no condensation)
Power Supply
The operating voltage range of proper operation should be noted on the power
adaptor. The power cable, the power outlet, and any power fusing arrangements must
conform to local safety regulations.
External Monitor
The external VGA port in the TP6000 series supports any regular VGA
monitor using a separate AC power source and a resolution of 1024 x 768 with true
color. Unlike other Posiflex POS terminals, the DC powered 9” VGA mono monitor
is not supported by this series. Please refer to the information for the OS for its
“mirror” or “extended” dual display applications.
TP6000 USER’S MANUAL 4 - 1
Serial Port – COM1
CAUTION: The COM1 serial port should be occupied by either a suitable serial
device or a COM1 terminator at all times (as supplied). Without this provision the
cash drawer control ports will fail to work correctly.
The recommended devices for COM1 are either an external customer display
or a serial POS printer. When such devices are installed to the TP6000 series, please
remove the COM1 terminator and store in a safe place for future use.
Serial Port – COM2/3/4
For models using the RS232 interface touch controller (TP6XXXR), there is
no extra serial port other than COM1 available for system revision A and for models
of system revision B or later COM4 port is not available. For models of system
revision A using the PS2 interface touch controller (TP6XXXP), only COM1 and
COM2 are available. The COM4 has to be connected through a special cable
CCBLA-338. All these ports are standard RS232 serial port with the possibility to
supply a +5 V DC through pin 9 after proper jumper setting change. Any attempt to
break/remove the cover/plug on the forbidden port (COM2 of rev. A or COM4 of rev.
B or later) in TP6XXXR will void the product warranty.
POWER ON/OFF
LED Indicator
There is an LED in the logo area that serves several purposes.
Ÿ
Ÿ
When the TP6000 is standing by for power up in the presence of external power
supply, the LED is orange.
When the TP6000 is powered up and working normally with the external power
supply, the LED is green.
TP6000 USER’S MANUAL 4 - 2
Ÿ
Ÿ
Ÿ
When the external power fails and the TP6000 is working on the optional UPS
battery power, the green LED flashes.
When the optional UPS battery is close to full discharge from supporting the
TP6000 in the absence of the external power, the orange LED flashes rapidly.
When the TP6000 is turned off and the external power is not present, the LED is
off.
This system will not allow power up in the absence of an external power
supply.
The maximum total power consumption of the external power supply unit is
1.6 A at 115 V AC or 0.8 A at 230 V AC.
Hardware Switch
The power switch located at left side of the main unit is a slide type switch.
This switch controls the power on/off of the system. This switch turns the system on
when slid downward, only when external power is present. The switch will always
spring back to its original position when pressure is removed. This switch turns the
system off when slid downward again during power on status. However, if the system
hangs due to any reason such as software resource conflict a simple slide of the switch
may fail to turn off the power. In this case, please utilize the forced power off
feature by pressing the switch downward, and holding for within 10 seconds. In case
the turmoil is so vigorous that some hardware registers may be confused causing
trouble for system restart or even this forced power off, please disconnect the UPS
battery if installed and the AC power supply for few minutes. This may allow all
hardware registers to reset.
This switch can also be programmed as an ON only switch. That means, if the
application program issues a command compliant with the TP6000 series technical
manual, this switch will always turn the system on when activated, but will not power
off the system when depressed again (the forced power off feature will not work in
this mode). When using this feature, please make sure that the software application
has the ability to power off the machine.
TP6000 USER’S MANUAL 4 - 3
Software Support
The TP6000 series provides a software power off command for application
program maneuvers. The TP6000 also provides a specific means for the software to
detect if the system is working on external or UPS battery power. Due to this feature,
compatible software applications have the ability to change operating conditions when
running on standard/backup power. The software programmer may take reference
from the TP6000 technical manual to apply such features.
Preset Power On Control
The system may also be turned on according to predetermined parameters,
such as Modem Ring Up, Alarm Clock Wake Up and/or Wake-on-LAN.
To utilize these functions, the user should enter the CMOS setup by pressing
the “DEL” key at system boot up and choose the “INTEGRATED PERIPHERALS”
option. Next, set the “Ring Power Up Control” to enable 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
activated. However, for the Wake-on-LAN feature, certain specific programs have to
be executed prior to power off. This program will set the terminal to standby for LAN
Wake Up during power off so that when the predefined condition is met (LAN status
changes or receives a certain packet) the TP6000 will then be powered on.
When the TP6000 system is turned off after a successful boot up, the defined
preset power on functions will keep monitoring for the preset conditions. When a
Modem call or Wake-on-LAN Packet is received, the system will be turned on and
start to work according to the security conditions that the application program defines,
only if the Ring Power Up Control or LAN Wake Up function is enabled. If the Power
Up by Alarm is enabled, the TP6000 system will be turned on at the defined time
(Hour : Minute : Second) of the preset day of week, day of month, month of year or
even every day if the date items are not defined.
Please note that if the TP6000 system is improperly turned off before a
complete boot up process, the above preset power on control functions will be
disabled until completion of the next successful boot process.
TP6000 USER’S MANUAL 4 - 4
MAGNETIC STRIPE READER
The magnetic stripe reader, if installed, will be mounted on the right edge of
the TP6000 series. When reading an ISO standard magnetic card, please face the
magnetic stripe toward the TP6000 series and slide the card downward through the
slot.
CASH DRAWER(S)
The cash drawer control port, if connected to a Posiflex cash drawer, not only
provides a way to open the cash drawer through software commands, but also
provides a detection method for the software to check the drawer open status for
consequent security measures.
The TP6000 series provides one cash drawer connector with the ability to
control two cash drawers. When using the standard CCBLA-180 (or CCBLA-180-1)
cash drawer cable, the TP6000 has the ability to control one cash drawer. When the
optional CCBLA-238 cable is connected to the CR1 port, this gives the TP6000 the
ability to control two cash drawers independently. Note: Both cables, CCBLA-180
(or CCBLA-180-1) and CCBLA-238 are designed for use with Cash Drawer models
CR3100 or CR3200 or CR4000 or CR4100 only.
DISPLAY RESOLUTION
For best viewing results, please set the TP6X12 display resolution at 800 x 600
with true color in the operating system. For the TP6X15, please set the display
resolution at 1024 x 768 with high color. Of course, other resolution as set through the
Windows can still obtain a full size display.
SOUND PORT
The optional audio port supports stereo line out. Therefore please connect to a
booster speaker if used.
TP6000 USER’S MANUAL 4 - 5
TOUCH PANEL
The touch panel in TP6000 series uses either a PS2 interface or an RS232
interfaced. When its driver is properly installed, this touch panel works exactly like a
standard mouse. However, if the system is running under safe mode due to a previous
improper shutdown or for any other reason, most drivers are disabled in this mode and
the touch panel calibration may not coincide with the mouse pointer. It is
recommended that a standard PS2 mouse or keyboard be used in this mode.
All the below mentioned mouse emulation functions can be manipulated
through relevant software. The system can give a beep when the touch panel is
touched and can respond as if the left button of a PS2 mouse is clicked at the point
touched. If the point touched is dragged across the screen surface, it can respond as
though it is using the mouse drag and drop feature. If the point is touched, released
and touched within a short time interval, it will simulate double-clicking the mouse.
For the standard PS2 interface touch panel controller, touching the screen for a while
followed by a slight move of the touch without leaving the screen surface will result
in a right button mouse click. For the RS232 interface touch panel controller, touching
any point on the screen surface after touching the right-click sticky button results as a
click on the right button of the mouse at that point. However, the right button function
is not applicable under the WIN NT environment.
TOUCH TERMINAL MANAGER
The touch panel control parameters are already well calibrated in the factory
prior to delivery. In principal, the touch panel requires no further calibration once
properly set. However, a program named “Posiflex Touch Terminal Manager” is
installed in the preloaded Windows system for the user to maneuver versatile features
of the touch terminal with a PS2 interface touch panel controller. This program can
also be obtained by download from the POSIFLEX web site. This program
application provides control over the MSR, the touch panel and the power control of
the Posiflex Touch Terminal. For an RS232 interface touch panel, the touch panel
portion of the following section should be disregarded. Please refer to the paragraph
titled “RS232 TOUCH MONITOR MOUSE” instead.
TP6000 USER’S MANUAL 4 - 6
This program controls software gating of data read from each MSR track and
the way that the data is sent from the reader to the system, including the coding
method against language systems, data transmission speed, delivery and selection on
the leading/ending code of each track.
This program also controls the beep generated when the touch panel is
touched, the detail in right button click emulation, and also provides touch panel re-
calibration.
This program can also be used to define the power switch to be on only or
on/off, the delay time before software power off and whether a UPS battery is
activated in the power control system.
RS232 TOUCH MONITOR MOUSE
If the product model purchased is TP6XXXR, the touch panel uses an RS232
interface controller. The “Touch Panel Manager” of the above “Posiflex Touch
Terminal Manager” should be disregarded and a separate software called Monitor
Mouse should be used. In these models, the COM2 connector on system revision A or
the COM4 connector (in form of RJ45 jack) on system revision since B will be either
covered or plugged to prohibit any use of this port other than the connected RS232
touch controller. Removal of this cover/plug will void the product warranty!!
In principle, the driver is installed with the systems equipped with the RS232
touch controller. However, if a re-installation is required, please select “SmartSet
Serial Controller on COM2” for system revision A or “SmartSet Serial controller on
COM4” for system revision since B as the controller type during the installation
process.
Once the RS232 touch controller driver is installed, the user can utilize it to
calibrate the touch screen, define mouse button emulation modes, enable right button
emulation or define the click sound’s tone and duration. Please click “Start”,
“Setting”, “Control Panel” and “Elo Touchscreen” to engage this utility. However,
with this touch controller driver, certain display mode like full screen display of
Windows DOS box should be avoided.
If, for any reason, the user wants to remove the driver for the RS232 touch
controller, please select “Monitor Mouse for Windows 95” in the program list for
removal.
