1-4. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

The following messages are safety reminders on how to protect your systems from damages, and extending the life cycle of the system.

1. Check the Line Voltage a. The operating voltage for the power supply should be within the range of

100V to 240V AC; otherwise the system may be damaged.

2. Environmental Conditions a. Place your PA-8225 on a sturdy, level surface. Be sure to allow enough

space around the system to have easy access needs.

b. Avoid installing your PA-8225 Series POS system in extremely hot or cold

places.

c. Avoid exposure to sunlight for a long period of time (for example, in a

closed car in summer time. Also avoid the system from any heating device.). Or do not use the PA-8225 when it has been left outdoors in a cold winter day.

d. Bear in mind that the operating ambient temperature is between 0C and

35C (32F and 95F).

e. Avoid moving the system rapidly from a hot place to a cold place, and vice

versa, because condensation may occur inside the system.

f. Protect your PA-8225 against strong vibrations, which may cause hard disk

failure.

g. Do not place the system too close to any radio-active device. Radio-active

device may cause signal interference.

h. Always shutdown the operation system before turning off the power.

3. Handling a. Avoid placing heavy objects on the top of the system. b. Do not turn the system upside down. This may cause the hard drive to

malfunction.

c. Do not allow any objects to fall into this product. d. If water or other liquid spills into the product, unplug the power cord

immediately.

Chapter 1 Introduction

PA-8225 SERIES USERS MANUAL

Page: 1-11

4. Good Care a. When the outside case gets stained, remove the stains using neutral washing

agent with a dry cloth.

b. Never use strong agents such as benzene and thinner to clean the surface of

the case.

c. If heavy stains are present, moisten a cloth with diluted neutral washing

agent or alcohol and then wipe thoroughly with a dry cloth.

d. If dust is accumulated on the case surface, remove it by using a special

vacuum cleaner for computers.

5. Maintenance During maintenance, please place the machine and follow the guidance step by

step as photo below to exchange HDD or Memory or other parts.

Step 1:

Take screw off

Open the front panel

Step2 & 3: Take front metal off

CAUTION:

During Maintenance, Do not place the machine in an upside down position.

2-2-1. How to Set Jumpers

You can configure your board by setting the jumpers. A jumper consists of two or three metal pins with a plastic base mounted on the card, and by using a small plastic "cap", also known as the jumper cap (with a metal contact inside), you are able to connect the pins. So you can set-up your hardware configuration by "opening" or "closing" pins.

Jumpers can be combined into sets that called jumper blocks. When jumpers are all in the block, you have to put them together to set up the hardware configuration. The figure below shows what this looks like.

Jumpers & caps

If a jumper has three pins for example, labelled PIN1, PIN2, and PIN3. You can connect PIN1 & PIN2 to create one setting and shorting. You can either connect PIN2 & PIN3 to create another setting. The same jumper diagrams are applied all through this manual. The figure below shows what the manual diagrams look and what they represent.

Method 1:

DRW1 includes two groups of GPIO pins. The second group is normally unused but can be enabled by the jumper. Set the pin header jumper JP37 as 1-2 connected if necessary.

Method 2:

You can split DRW1 into two channels of DRW1-1 & DRW1-2 using the Y-Cable (option).

CASH DRAWER CONFIGURATION

The I/O port address of the cash drawer is 2E (hex) and 2F (hex). 2E (hex) is the address port. 2F (hex) is the data port. User must first assign the address of register by writing address value into address port 2E (hex), then write/read data to/from the assigned register through data port 2F (hex).

Configuration Sequence

To program F81866 configuration registers, the following configuration sequence must be followed: (1) Enter the extended function mode (2) Configure the configuration registers (3) Exit the extended function mode

(1) Enter the extended function mode

To place the chip into the Extended Function Mode, two successive writes of 0x87 must be applied to Extended Function Enable Registers (EFERs, i.e. 2Eh or 4Eh).

(2) Configure the configuration registers

The chip selects the Logical Device and activates the desired Logical Devices through Extended Function Index Register (EFIR) and Extended Function Data Register (EFDR). The EFIR is located at the same address as the EFER, and the EFDR is located at address (EFIR+1). First, write the Logical Device Number (i.e. 0x06) to the EFIR and then write the number of the desired Logical Device to the EFDR. If accessing the Chip (Global) Control Registers, this step is not required. Secondly, write the address of the desired configuration register within the Logical Device to the EFIR and then write (or read) the desired configuration register through the EFDR.

(3) Exit the extended function mode

To exit the Extended Function Mode, writing 0xAA to the EFER is required. Once the chip exits the Extended Function Mode, it is in the normal running mode and is ready to

enter the configuration mode.

GS $ nL nH

[Name]

Set absolute vertical print position in page mode

[Format]

ASCII GS $ nL nH Hex. 1D 24 nL nH

Decimal 29 36 nL nH

[Range]

0 ≤ nL ≤ 255, 0 ≤ nH ≤ 255,

[Description]

Specifies the character vertical direction position for the data expansion starting position using the absolute position based on the starting point in page mode. The position of the character vertical direction for the next data expansion starting position is the position specified by [(nL + nH x 256) x basic calculated pitch] from the starting point.

 When not in page mode, this command is ignored.  Specifications for absolute positions that exceed the specified print range

are ignored.

GS * X Y [d1…d(X x Y x 8)]

[Name]

Define download bit images.

[Format]

ASCII GS * X Y [d1…d(X x Y x 8)] Hex. 1D 2A X Y [d1…d(X x Y x 8)] Decimal 29 42 X Y [d1…d(X x Y x 8)]

[Description]

Defines the download bit image of the number of dots specified by X and Y.

 X specifies the number of bytes in the horizontal direction.  Y specifies the number of bytes in the vertical direction.  Horizontal direction dot count is X x 8 dots; Vertical direction dot count is Y

x 8 dots

 d indicates the bit-image data. Bits that correspond to the dots to print are 1,

and the bits that correspond to the dots that are not printed are 0.

[Format]

ASCII GS B n Hex. 1D 42 n Decimal 29 66 n

[Range]

0 ≤ n ≤ 255 Initial Value n = 0

[Description]

Specifies or cancels black and white inverted printing.

 Cancels black and white inverted printing when n = <*******0>B.  Specifies black and white inverted printing when n = <*******1>B.  n is effective only when it is the lowest bit.  Internal characters and download characters are targeted for black and

white inverted printing.

 This command is effective for ANK and Chinese characters.
