PS/2 Keyboard I/F (FM4602 and FM4603 models only)

The special keyboard interface connector is available on the FM4602/FM4603 models. This is for PS/2 keyboard or barcode reader with keyboard wedge.

-Make sure that the printer has the PPLB emulation installed.

-Make the desired form is download to the printer.

-Make sure that a PS/2 keyboard or barcode reader with KB wedge is available. (Refer to the Appendix for Stand-Alone Operation for further information.)
