INSTALLATION GUIDES
HOST SYSTEM PREPARAION
For serial interface (RS232) PD-2601or PD-2602 to be used in HT or
PB or KS or TP series, you have to adjust during power off the internal jumper
of the host system to supply 5 V DC to the COM port selected for the serial
interface pole display. This adjustment has to be done by a qualified electronic
technician following guide from relevant technical manual. The default
communication protocol should be set to 9600 bps, none parity, 8 data bits, 1
stop bit with hardware handshaking on CTS. The power for the USB interface
type pole display is supported through the USB connection.
INSTALLING PD-2601
Opening the back cover on system
For ease of PD-2601 installation operation, the HT
main unit or PB system has to be opened with sufficient
precautions. First push in the circled knobs on both sides as
in Pix. 1 to remove the back cover. Take out the arrow
pointed pole cover from it.
Opening the top cover of system
Prepare a piece of clean soft clothe of appropriate
size in front of the HT system to prevent damage. Turn the
display panel to straight up position. For both HT and PB
system, push in the rectangular marked spring button in Pix. 1 on both sides of
chassis and raise the rear edge of the top cover. The COM port DC support can
be set at this moment.
Find joining points on system
A
Refer to Pix. 2 that is a picture of the HT or PB chassis near the right
bottom corner (as you are facing the HT or PB system from its back) with
several portions enlarged around, please find 2 rectangular PD installation
holes A on the bottom chassis; 2 circular locating holes B on I/O plate; and 2
circular screw holes C on metal sidewall.

right and a slightly enlarged side view picture to the left to find 2 bottom
locking lugs A’; 2 short cylindrical locating bosses B’ to fit into I/O plate; and
2 plastic screw bosses C’ on side. Please note that the PD cable comes out of
the bottom end of the base tube yet in the illustration pictures the cable is
eliminated for sake of minimum visual confusion.

Turn the pole display base unit opposite to have the bottom locking
lugs A’ in Pix. 3 facing left and now insert the 2 bottom locking lugs A’ on
base unit into the 2 rectangular installation holes A on bottom of HT or PB
chassis from the right corner with the pole display slightly inclined to the left
as in Pix. 4. Please note that both bottom locking lugs A’ should be completely
inserted and come out of the bottom plate of HT or PB system as emphasized
by an arrow in the enlarged portion.
Fit in locating bosses
Please always keep a gentle pressure at the bottom end of pole base
(bottom locking lugs A’) to the left (away from the sidewall of system chassis)
when moving the upper part of pole toward sidewall and matching the 2 short
cylindrical locating bosses B’ into 2 round holes B in the I/O plate. Please refer
to Pix. 5 to see the 2 locating bosses B’ from inside of HT or PB system.

Please note the importance of keeping the leftward pressure on
bottom end of pole display during the process of turning the pole upright and
inserting the locating bosses B’ or even when you want to release the locating
bosses B’ away from I/O plate B and turn the upper end of pole display to left
to remove the locking lugs A’ from bottom chassis A. Ignorance of this point
may damage or even break off the locking lugs A’ due to improper torque
applied.
Apply sidewall screw
The screw bosses of PD-2601 base
should now align with the screw holes on
PD-2601 Base
sidewall of system chassis. Only 1 screw
needs to be applied. Use the self-tapping
screw that comes with PD-2601 to fix from
external side of sidewall as demonstrated in
Pix. 6.
Outside of sidewall
Connect interface cable
Carefully close back the top cover of HT or PB system and connect
the interface cable of PD-2601 to appropriate port in system connector area.
Then close the back cover of the system.
INSTALLING PD-2602
Opening the rear connect cover on system
To install PD-2602 to the base of KS or TP systems, the rear connect

USING THE CUSTOMER DISPLAY
INTERRFACE SELECTION
This series of customer display is designed to serve in HT / KS / TP
series Posiflex POS systems with RS232 interface models and with USB
interface models. It is advisable to well study the I/O port availability of the
host system before determining which interface model to be used.
When a RS232 (serial) interface model of PD-2601 / 2602 is used, the
jumper on main board of HT / KS / TP system must be modified to supply
power to the COM port designated for PD-2601 / 2602. Whenever the RS232
interface PD-2601 / 2602 is to be removed from the HT / KS / TP system,
consequently the jumper has to be changed back to neutralize the COM port,
otherwise damage could occur!
The USB interface model of PD-2601 / 2602 should be connected
directly to an USB port and must not be through any USB HUB to get power
through the USB port itself and there is no need for other special arrangement.

DRIVER INSTALLATION
For application software to use RS232 interfaced PD-2601 / 2602,
there is no direct need for any driver. The OPOS (OLE POS) driver or the
JPOS (Java POS) driver would be required for OPOS or JPOS programs and
the PD-2601 would have to be set to “Epson” command mode. These drivers
are available from our web: http://www.posiflex.com
For USB interfaced PD-2601 / 2602, please visit our web site and find
the driver from the class “PD23_26U”. The guidance for each function call in
the library “USBPD.dll” is covered in the “ReadMe” file in that class.
