Keyboard tab
The keyboard is one of the most crucial areas associated with POS terminals. The Keyboard tab is where you assign
function keys to allow for fast and e ective processing of transactions from POS terminals. You can choose from
three types of keyboards: PC Keyboard, POS Keyboard or a Touch Keyboard.
POS Terminal can accommodate most standard PC keyboards or fully programmable POS keyboards. Both types of
keyboard function identically. The installation process for each keyboard and key layout varies slightly.
PC keyboard
If you select to use a standard PC keyboard the keys need to con gured as POS keys; they need to be assigned a
function. When POS Terminal is installed you are supplied with a standard keyboard layout with POS Terminal keys
prede ned. For example, the key marked 1 is set up as the Float In function in the default layout. You can modify all
keys to suit your business requirements.
Assigning a POS Terminal function to a key does not replace the standard PC keyboard
functionality. For example, when you are in POS Terminal and press F7 key, the system
refunds a product. If you are in a Windows application, the F7 key functions as normal.
For instructions on how to design a PC keyboard, refer to the POS Terminal in-product Help.
POS keyboard
If you select to use the POS keyboard you can partially prede ne it with QWERTY functions and the rest can be
con gured with POS functions. When POS Terminal is installed you are supplied with a default keyboard layout with
POS Terminal keys prede ned. You can modify all keys to suit your business requirements.
