HARDWARE CONNECTIONS The LK7000 can be connected to an IBM101 PC, XT, AT or clone computer, PS/2 computer, or computer terminal. The following diagram shows how the keyboard connects to the computer and standard keyboard or other keyboard peripheral (magnetic stripe reader, scanner, etc.). To Peripheral NOTE: To Computer Reserved for optional MSR Before making any connections it is always advisable to turn off the computer. A.
FUNCTIONAL TEST For testing purposes, your LK7000 keyboard was pre-programmed with a template called LK7000.TPL. The following simple steps will verify that the keyboard is in good working condition: 1. Follow the Hardware Connections procedure described earlier in this manual to connect the LK7000 to your computer. 2. Turn on your computer. 3. The keyboard may be tested under DOS or Windows. 4. If it is working under Windows, open Notepad or any text editing software.

UTILITY DISK CONTENTS All LK7000 keyboards come with a utility software disk. This disk contains several important files: LK7000D.EXE - Use this utility with or without the keyboard being attached. It is used to program the keyboard. For a complete description of how this program works see the section “Programming the LK7000 keyboard”. LK7000.TPL - This template was pre-programmed into the keyboard and matches the legend shown on the previous page.
STARTING THE LK7000D.EXE PROGRAM This program can be used with or without the keyboard being attached to the computer. Note that the PC must be booted up in DOS before starting the program. It will not run properly under Windows DOS prompt. To start the program, type LK7000D at the LK7000 DOS prompt and press ENTER. When the program is up, it will automaticallly display the graphic graphics screen as below.
PROGRAMMING THE LK7000 KEYBOARD The following procedure will show you how to program your LK7000 with standard (keyboard) alphanumeric characters. The keyboard can be programmed with either ASCII or Scan code information. The default mode is the ASCII code mode. The following procedure assumes both a LK7000 keyboard and a 101 keyboard are attached. NOTE: To run this program you must exit windows completely. Do not shell out from Windows. 1. With the correct programming graphics present.
5. Type S to save the programmed data into the LK7000 directory. You can select up to an 8 character name. It will be saved with a .TPL extension. 6. Press ESC to terminate the Data Transfer Menu. 7. Press F10 followed by Y to exit the utility program. 8. To verify that your program has been successfully installed, simply press any programmed key. The information stored in that key will appear on the monitor. 9.
ADVANCED PROGRAMMING The LK7000 POS keyboard can be programmed with all special control and function keys such as the Shift, Ctrl, Alt, F1 through F12, and the up/ down/left/right arrow keys. The procedure to program these special keys is shown below: 1. Start the LK7000 utility program. 2. Select the cell to be programmed. Press F8 to enter the scancode mode. The “code type” information changes from ASCII to SCAN. NOTE: The scan-code mode will only be active for this cell.
SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE LK7000 Besides being able to program all the keys of an IBM101 keyboard, the LK7000 has also incorporated three state-of-the-art features which will add flexibility and functionality to the keyboard. INTER-STRING DELAY This feature allows for a time delay(s) to be installed after a character(s) has been inserted into a cell. To use this feature follow the steps below: 1. Enter the character(s) which will precede the delay. For example, ABC. 2.
MULTI-LEVEL DEFINITION This feature can increase the apparent number of programmable keys by allowing you to program different levels into any cell. For every different level you program you must select another key to be a “SHIFT LEVEL” key. Programming is accomplished in the normal manner. After programming the base level a separator bar must be entered to separate the base level from the second level. You can program more than two levels per cell.
8. Change the programming mode of this cell to the scan-code mode (F8). Depress and hold the ALT key while depressing the letter A twice. Two triangles inside brackets will appear on the programming line. 9. To use this feature in your application is extremely simple. When medium coffee is desired just press the F5 key (the first level of information stored in cell F5 will be sent to the computer).
SPECIAL CONFIGURATIONS The keyboard can be set up with many different programming options. To activate the configuration menu screen press F3. By depressing the highlighted letter in each option, the program will enable or disable that option. The default settings are shown in the graphic below.
DESCRIPTION OF SPECIAL CONFIGURATION MENU F3 Send Break-code for scan-codes - Enables or disables the transmission of break codes for each scan code programmed into the keyboard. Enable beep while a key pressed - Enables or disables the entire keyboard from beeping when any key is depressed. No beep if a key is undefined - If a key is not programmed it will not beep when depressed. Translate to code set #2 for AT - Enables or disables the output of the keyboard to be translated into AT scan code.
DESCRIPTION OF SPECIAL CONFIGURATION MENU F3 (CONTINUED) Enable RS232 Output - Enables or disables the output of the keyboard to the RS232 port (DB9 connector). If this option is set to YES then the protocol settings must be set to mirror the application software. Baud Rate - This option selects 2400, 4800, 9600 and 19,200 baud rates. Parity - This option selects ODD, EVEN or NO parity. Length of data - This option selects either 7 or 8 data bits.
Dos shell File list (*.tpl) Load file from disk Read from keyboard Save file to disk Write to keyboard Press ESC to Quit The LK7000 keyboard, working in conjunction with the LK7000.EXE utility software, can perform the following powerful functions: * Save programmed data as a template file (.TPL) in both the keyboard and the hard drive of the computer. To save programmed data to the keyboard use the W (Write to keyboard) option of the Data Transfer Menu.

ADDENDUM SCANNER POSITION The LK7000, a matrix programmable keyboard with built-in scanner, was designed with the end user in mind. The scanner can be factory installed on either side of the keyboard, giving the enduser the versatility required in todays applications. PITCH ANGLE To accomodate different customer installations the scanner’s pitch angle can be adjusted via a lever on the bottom side of the keyboard.
