The TA58P keyboard General The TA58P keyboard has a flexible key layout. It contains a numeric and alphanumeric key field comparable with the key field of a PC. In addition to a PC keyboard the TA58P has 36 function keys, which can be used freely. The TA58P keyboard is equipped with a key switch with 6 switch positions and is available with or without a swipecard reader. A power-up reset and an automatic self-test are performed each time the POS terminal is switched on.
Keypad Keypad Keypad In the functional keyfield of the TA58P, two keys can be combined to form a double key and four keys to form a quadruple key, either horizontally or vertically. Only one key code is generated by each double or quadruple key. Key caps can be changed on the spot using the key cap remover included in the scope of supply. When using the key caps for multiple keys, note the position of the pin on the underside, making sure that the desired code is set.
LEDs LEDs LEDs The TA58P has 3 LEDs: N Num Lock S Shift Lock Scroll Lock They are activated or de-activated by the application software. Num Lock When the LED Num Lock lights up the numerical keypad is active ( figures, decimal point and comma) and not the basic level (cursor, “delete” etc.). You can switch between these levels with the NUM key or via software, depending on the operating system. Shift Lock When the use of capital letters is activated, this LED lights up.
Swipecard reader Swipecard reader (SCR) Swipecard reader The TA58P is optionally equipped with a swipecard reader. It is a separate housing right side of the keys. The SCR is able to read ID-cards. Using the Swipecard reader Pull the magnetic card evenly and quickly, from top to bottom, through the slot on the swipecard reader. Make sure that the magnetic stripe isn`t facing the keys.
Connection method Cleaning Instructions In order to ensure that the quality of reading results is maintained, clean the swipecard reader at least once a week. To do this, use the special cleaning card that can be ordered from Wincor Nixdorf. Connection method Connection method The connector for the keyboard is a standard 6-pin mini-DIN connector. The cable can be ordered optionally as a - 0.8 m cable, - 1.5 m cable or - 3.0 m cable.
Self-test Q The mini-DIN connectors are left plugged in until unlocked. R Using your thumb, pull gently on plastik connector housing ➀, removing the connector from the socket. This unlocks the connector. The metal part of the connector is now visible. Now remove the connector from the socket ➁. Self-test A self-test of the keyboard is performed each time the POS terminal is switched on. During this test, the interface to the system is disabled.
Connecting a 2nd Keyboard Connecting a 2nd Keyboard to theTA58P Connecting a 2nd Keyboard The TA58P has a connection for a second keyboard. This connection allows for example to plug in an additional PC-keyboard for text input. This is necessary, if you want to install a new keyboard. The new keyboard is delivered without keyboard instructions, which must be still created. The mechanism is made by the second keyboard.
Mounting the BA63/BA66 Mounting the BA63/BA66 Mounting the BA63/BA66 Before installing, make sure that the mains supply has been pulled out. Clip the keyboard cable that is connected to a BEETLE or a PC into the rail at the backside of the keyboard. Put the keyboard cable through the opening of the foot of the BA63/BA66 (see picture). Then press the cable at the positions (see picture) into the guidance so that it “disappears”.
Mounting the BA63/BA66 Fasten the BA63/BA66 with the two screws at the keyboard (see arrows). Connect the keyboard cable and the display cable to your BEETLE system and then switch on the power.
Mounting the BA69 Mounting the BA69 Mounting the BA69 Before installing, make sure that the mains supply has been pulled out. Clip the keyboard cable that is connected to a BEETLE or a PC into the rail at the backside of the keyboard. Put the keyboard cable through the opening of the foot of the BA69 (see picture). Then press the cable at the positions (see picture) into the guidance so that it “disappears”.
Mounting the BA69 Fasten the BA69 with the two screws at the keyboard (see arrows). Connect the keyboard cable and the display cable to your BEETLE system and then switch on the power.

Programmable Keyboard TA58P Programming the keyboards TA58P is described in detail in the Readme file. Mode Programmable Keyboard TA58P The TA58P keyboard can work in different modes: “Windows Mode” This is the default state of the keyboard (not programmed) “DOS Mode” This state is used by the Retail Device Interface (RDI), it is entered by rsp.
Programmable Keyboard TA58P m send a keyboard table to the keyboard m receive a table from the keyboard and to store it in a file m reset a keyboard into its default state, i.e. Windows Mode and default codes for the keys m check for keyboard state (default or programmed) So the functionality of the programs m SENDKBT.EXE m RCVKBT.EXE m KB2DEF.EXE m KBCHKDEF.EXE is part of the dialogue utility KBUTI.EXE. These 4 programs therefore are intended to be used in conjunction with .BAT files.
Programmable Keyboard TA58P system are sent to the primary interface and may then be transferred to the secondary interface. A reaction of the system to a key stroke is transmitted to the keyboard, which key has been pressed or released. Help The dialogue utility KBUTI.EXE has a context sensitive help, which is activated as usual with the F1 key. Creating Tables Tables can be created with the utility KBUTI.
Programmable Keyboard TA58P You can define simple codes, codes in Shift state, key combinations strings built from that like e.g.: m a m A m * m 00 m {Ctrl+F5} m {Shift+F8} m {Alt+F1} m {Alt+#123} m {Ctrl+f}{Alt+#240} For a number of codes symbolic names are available, like F1, .., F12, Shift, Ctrl, Alt, AltGr, Enter, Return, Left, PgUp etc. Specification of codes not only may be done in symbolic form like above, but also as hexadecimal 8042 scan codes.
Programmable Keyboard TA58P m Type of level selection (none, POS Shift, Ctrl/Alt/AltGr, CapsLock/ScrollLock) Specification of the keyboard language is required to allow the keyboard to deliver such codes, that can be interpreted later correctly by the language keyboard driver for the rsp. country. The target configuration is important, not the configuration at the time when the table is created. For the codes of the key lock and the data of the various tracks of the swipe card reader and insertion rsp.
Programmable Keyboard TA58P Useful Hints Programming keyboards by tables allows a very flexible keyboard layout. However, one should have some thought about the task of a technician in the field! From logistics point of view it should be ensured that: m Spare keyboards are delivered always loaded with customer specific tables m with starting the system the tables are loaded automatically The batch utilities m SENDKBT.EXE m RCVKBT.EXE m KB2DEF.EXE m KBCHKDEF.
