Attention!
Inserting the 7.4. keyboard template
The Vectron POS Vario without touch screen is exclusively operated via the keyboard. The individual keyboard ele­ments can be assigned individual functions. This facilitates data input since you can book a PLU by simply pressing a bu tton . For a bet ter overvi ew on the assigne d functions , you can use a keyboard template.
For models with a flat keyboard, lift the cover foil at the front of the POS system and put the template under the foil.
For models with a raised keyboard, the function tags for each key have to be cut out. Put the function tag onto the key, then put on the plastic cover. Make sure that the cover is correctly adjusted. The tapered edge points at the operator.

Using the touch screen7.5 .

If your POS system is equipped with a so-called touch screen you can operate the touch-sensitive display by using your finger. The monitor layout can be designed accordin g to your de mands . For th e resp e ctive func tion s , elements can be created in this layout that considerably ease the input of data, as it sometimes suffices to actuate a touch button, e.g. to book to a PLU.
The touch screen may only be touched with fingers.
The use of pens, pencils or other sharp objects may dama­ge the device.
No liability is accepted for such damages!
