BRIEF INTRODUCTION

THE USER’S MANUAL

The purpose of this manual is to guide the user in the initial
installation and general use of the Posiflex PB-2200 Pro series of POS
terminals. It does not explain any application software that may be supplied
with it.

We intend to provide our customers with all technology advantages
available by evolving the product design to incorporate appropriate changes
and improvements. So some detail differences may exist between this manual

THE PRODUCT

The Posiflex range of PB-2200 Pro terminals have been designed and
manufactured to meet the high end demand on POS systems. It incorporates all
the advances of PC technology within a rugged hou sing designed for use in a
hostile retail environment. By providing an integrated design, it has retained
many of the secure features of a traditional ECR and has avoided the wiring
“spaghetti” associated with more traditional PC solutions. This Open Standard
Architecture ensures that this terminal can use the PC application software and
development tools that are now inexpensively available and abundant.

The terminal may be used as a self-content unit or as one of several
terminals in a network system controlled by a “back office” computer through
the integrated network interface. Versatile options besides the basic model
selection can apply to it too.

There are various options applicable internally including an UPS
battery and Pole mount VFD customer display through powered COM port or
CF memory card reader. The external options cover even much wider range
including: Monitor, Wireless LAN, Cash drawer, POS printer, Bar code
scanner, Programmable keyboard etc.
