Profit Point PLUS POS Keyboard Wiring
There are two methods for wiring the POS keyboard to the systems. The preferred way is
described first, followed by the alternate way.
POS Keyboard Connected to Serial Port
The POS keyboard is connected to an unused serial port, such as COM 5 on SC III or COM 5
(S3 on fan-out cable) on the modular POS. The standard PC-style keyboard is connected to the
PC keyboard port. In this mode, the POS keyboard works only with the Profit Point PLUS
application software and the standard PC-style keyboard works with Windows NT and other
non-Profit Point PLUS applications. This connection method is only available on systems
running the Windows NT operating system.
For the POS keyboard to work as a serial keyboard, it must be configured to use its serial port.
Refer to MDE-4356 Profit Point PLUS Reference Manual for configuration instructions.
