The TA61 keyboard
General
The TA61 keyboard has a keypad with maximum 60 usable keys. Except
for the numeric keys (0 to 9), the C key and the 0.00 key, the key layout is
flexible, i.e. any two contiguous keys can be combined to form a double
key and any four keys can be combined to form a quadruple key, either
horizontally or vertically.
The TA61 keyboard is equipped with a key switch with 6 switch positions
and is available with or without a swipecard reader.
A power-up reset and an automatic self-test are performed each
time the POS terminal is switched on. Following these self-tests, the
keyboard is ready for operation. The keyboard receives its power
from the POS system.

In the TA61 keypad, two keys can be combined to form a double key and
four keys to form a quadruple key, either horizontally or vertically. 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.
Key caps can be changed on the spot using the key cap remover included
in the scope of supply. When using the key caps for multiple keys, note
the position of the pin on the underside, making sure that the desired code
is set.
