Aigo PB2200 user manual Printer Option, Cash Drawer Option, Operating System Recovery

connection of a normal PS/2 keyboard or the Posiflex programmable keyboard could become obligatory by some OS. Therefore, if there will be no keyboard installed for such OS, it is advisory to use an USB interface type barcode scanner instead of the PS/2 KB interface type.

PRINTER (OPTION)

There are many models of Posiflex POS printers that can be applied in PB system. These printers cover several interface technologies. Please connect the printer to a COM port, the LPT port or an USB port in the main connection area depending on the printer model and then connect its power adaptor. It is also possible to control a Posiflex wireless POS printer by connecting a separately purchased wireless Dongle to one of the COM ports in PB system.

CASH DRAWER (OPTION)

The RJ11 connector in main connection area of a PB system can be used for controlling most of the common cash drawers available on the market. However, it is recommended that the Posiflex CR-2000 (flip-top type) or (sliding drawer type) CR-3100 / CR-3200 / CR-4000 / CR-4100 / CR-4210 / CR-6210 be used for best compliance.

The PB system 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 Posiflex cash drawer (Part No. 21863018010) for connection to the CR port in PB system. This cable has a 6- pole RJ11 plug at one end and an 8-pole RJ45 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 main connection area in the system.

The user may also use the optional 2-in-1 cash drawer control cable 21863023800 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 main connection area in the system. 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.

OPERATING SYSTEM RECOVERY

The operating system exists in the HDD in top of the system unit. Once the software system on HDD collapses, it is possible to restore the operating system onto a physically intact HDD with use of the Recovery CD
