INSTRUCTIONS
The Keyboard Display Unit (KDU) is a terminal
unit that interfaces with a printer in a stand-
alone capacity.
The KDU has sixty-two (62) keys and a 2-line,
20 character LCD display. The KDU is pow
ered by and communicates with the printer
through an RS232 serial port with a DB-9
(standard printers).
The KDU is strictly a terminal and does not
have the capability to store data or set up pa
rameters. The KDU is used for the following
functions:
Protecting Data
-
-
If the label form has been designed to hide a
variable prompt, i.e., Store No., that data wil
be protected and this prompt will appear onl
when the form is initially retrieved.
Another label design command will prevent a
prompt from ever showing and may be desir
able for applications where data should not be
changed, i.e. Serial Numbers. This method is
not supported by the portable printer. For in
formation on designing, accessing and modify
ing protected prompts, see the programming
manual.

Communications
Caution
The KDU communication to the printer is set to
9600Baud,NoParity,8Data bits, 1 Stop bit.
Do not remove the display lens or connector
covers. The covers protect the KDU and at-
tached printer from harmful or disruptive elec-
tro-static discharges (ESD). Using other
devices by connecting to the KDU's Auxiliar
port (located under the protective cover), ma
violate radiated emissions standards (EMC) in
your locale.
Do not remove covers
