Please always follow local environmental protection laws /
regulations for disposal of used batteries and always replace only

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 PST7700 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
and the equipment supplied.

For more detailed or technical information please refer to the CD­ROM disc associated or consult our authorized dealers or visit our web site:

THE PRODUCT

The Posiflex range of PST7700 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 housing 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-contained unit or by using the
integrated network interface as one of several terminals in a network system
controlled by a “back office” computer. Versatile options can apply to it too.

An optional CD-ROM drive or an optional FDD can be installed in
the PST7700 system or supplied later as an upgrade kit. The PST7700 system
also provides an optional power management kit that includes a CR port with
status sensibility for controlling 1 or 2 Posiflex printer drive type cash drawers
and the most advanced UPS functions to safeguard the POS operation against
intermittent power failure with another option UPS battery, careless touch on
the power switch, and to support unmanned remote account consolidation
operation, etc..
