Frequently Asked Questions - PD-2600R Posiflex

How do I install the PD-2600R pole display on my Posiflex terminal?

Attach the metal base plate to the bottom of the host terminal using the provided screws. Route the interface cable through the cable exit to the main unit. For serial models, adjust the internal jumper on the host to supply 5V DC to the selected COM port. For USB models, connect directly to a powered USB port (not a non-powered hub).

How do I change the command emulation mode on the PD-2600R?

Locate the DIP switch window on the back of the display head. Slide the plastic cover down. Use a small tool to set the DIP switches according to the desired mode (e.g., EPSON, Noritake). Refer to the manual's table for switch positions. The default factory mode is Noritake.

Why is my display not turning on?

Ensure the interface cable is securely connected and the host system is powered on. For serial models, verify that the COM port jumper is set to supply 5V DC. For USB models, check that the USB port is providing power. If using a USB hub, ensure it has its own power adapter. Finally, confirm the DIP switch settings are correct.

Can I use the PD-2600R with a non-Posiflex POS system?

The display is designed for Posiflex terminals but may work with other systems via RS-232 or USB. You will need to configure the communication protocol (9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit with hardware handshaking) and select an appropriate command mode. However, power supply requirements may differ; consult your system's specifications.

What is the difference between the RS-232 and USB interface models?

The RS-232 model requires a serial port with 5V DC power supplied via a jumper on the host, while the USB model gets power from the USB connection and does not need additional setup. Both support the same command modes, but the USB model is simpler to install and supports plug-and-play on compatible systems.

How do I clean the PD-2600R display?

Turn off the display and use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the screen and housing. Do not use any liquids, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the display. For stubborn smudges, slightly dampen the cloth with water and wring it out thoroughly before wiping.

What warranty does the PD-2600R have?

The warranty covers manufacturing defects but is automatically voided if any unauthorized person opens the device or if the user fails to follow the instructions. Refer to the user manual for full warranty terms. For issues, contact your dealer.

How do I adjust the viewing angle of the display?

The display head can be tilted forward or backward to three preset angles: 15°, 30°, and 45°. Additionally, the entire display frame can rotate horizontally up to 270° for flexible positioning.

Can I define custom characters on the PD-2600R?

Depending on the command mode, user-defined characters are supported. For example, in EPSON mode, you can define up to two custom characters using ESC & command. In Noritake mode, up to five custom characters can be defined. Refer to the command summary in the manual for details.

What should I do if the display shows garbled characters or no response?

First, check the command mode DIP switch settings and ensure they match the application program. Then verify the communication protocol (baud rate, parity, etc.) matches the settings in your software. For serial models, confirm hardware handshaking is enabled. If using OPOS/UPOS, ensure the driver is correctly installed and configured.

INSTALLATION GUIDES

For serial interface (RS232) PD-309 or PD-2605 to be used in KS-2010A, KS-6810, DT-20X and Gen.6 & 4.5 base of KS series, you have to adjust during power off the internal jumper of the host system to supply 5 V DC to the COM port selected for the serial interface pole display. This adjustment has to be done by a qualified electronic technician following guide from relevant technical manual. The default communication protocol should be set to 9600 bps, none parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit with hardware handshaking on CTS. The power for the USB interface type pole display is supported through the USB connection. However, should these customer displays are to be connected through an USB HUB instead of a direct USB port of the system, the HUB must be powered by a separate power adaptor otherwise there could be the power shortage problem.

INSTALLATION

The PD-309 or PD-2605 can be attached to the corner in bottom plate of the KS-2010A, KS-6810, with slim base, DT-20X and Gen.6 & 4.5 base of KS series. It takes examples of this LCD customer display to fix in the KS-2010A, KS-6810, and DT-20X. Refer to the pictures Base for KS-2010

For mini slim base Connect the interface cable to go into the base through cable exit arrowed in Pix.2 at right to the main unit. For DT-20X arrange the interface cable to go through under bottom to connector area arrowed in Pix.1 at above right.

CAUTION: There are self-tapping screws for PD-309/ PD-2605 when use in Gen.4.5 base stand and please aim to the holes which marked “DT” as showing in the upper picture Pix.1. Other Bing Head Screws are use when fix in KS-2010A, KS-6810, DT-20X and Gen.6 base stand of KS series.

COMMAND EMULATION MODE SETUP (FOR PD-2605)

Now please check the back of PD-2605 display head as in the above left picture in Pix. 3. There is a small piece of plastic cover for the “DIP switch window”. Slide the cover downward but don’t pull it off otherwise you may have to practice for inserting it back. You can find 6 positions of DIP switches in this window. Adjust for the appropriate command mode used by the application program according to below table. Switch position counts from left to right and “ON” means pushed up as indicated in the above right part in Pix. 3.

Switch Position						Command Mode
1 2	3 4 5	6
ON	OFF	OFF	ON	OFF	OFF	ADM
ON	OFF	ON	ON	OFF	OFF	Aedex
ON	OFF	ON	OFF	OFF	OFF	Epson
ON	OFF	OFF	ON	ON	OFF	Futaba
ON	OFF	ON	OFF	ON	OFF	Noritake
ON	OFF	ON	ON	ON	OFF	UTC

The factory default command mode is set to Noritake mode for normal delivery. Please change it to Epson mode if OPOS or UPOS driver is used for the application program.

POWER ON SIGN

With interface cable connection well installed (and with COM port power set for serial models), turn on the Posiflex POS system, a firmware identifier as power on sign will appear on the pole display screen for a while to indicate that pole display is self-tested O.K. and ready to work.

USING THE CUSTOMER DISPLAY

INTERRFACE SELECTION

This series of customer display is designed to serve in Posiflex POS systems with RS232 interface models and with USB interface models. It is advisable to well study the I/O port availability of the host system before determining which interface model to be used.

When a RS232 (serial) interface model of PD-309 / 2605 is used, the jumper on main board of the host system must be modified to supply power to the COM port designated for PD-309 / 2605. Whenever the RS232 interface PD-309 / 2605 is to be removed from the host system, consequently the jumper has to be changed back to neutralize the power support COM port, otherwise damage could occur!

The USB interface model of PD-309 / 2605 should be connected directly to an USB port and must not be through any non-self-powered USB HUB to get power through the USB port itself and there is no need for other special arrangement.

COMMAND MODE SELECTION GUIDE

The below table provides some comparison for selection on command mode to be used in the application program for PD-2605 if it is not yet determined.

Mode ADM Aedex	Epson Futaba				Noritake	UTC
Cursor N.A. N.A. Invisible				Blinking Block	Blinking Block	Blinking Block (DP)
Default mode N.A. N.A. Over/W				V. scroll	Over/W	PT
User defined font N.A. N.A. 2 chars				N.A. 2 chars		2 chars (PT)
