Setting Generic Cash Register Interface For On-site Cash Register and
POS Server Programming
Rev 1.00
Situation
You have a POS text insertion opportunity but must be able to interface to
customers' POS server or cash register. The problem is that the POS server or cash register
does one of the following:
•
Sends out transaction data with unique start and stop characters
•
Does not use carriage return line feed to end transactions
•
Mixes all transaction data and sends it out one common serial port
Requirements
The following is required to successfully use this feature:
•
The data output of the POS device is RS232C, ASCII data or the data from the POS
device must be converted to RS232C, ASCII formatted data.
•
The transaction data must be sent out in real time to record a live camera with the
transaction text.
Solution
Enable the generic cash register option and use the Text Protocol Setup screen
to set how the HRDV deciphers the data from the POS device.
1.
Access the Text Parsing screen (MENU
Parsing).
2.
Highlight the Cash Register field and select Multiplex.
3.
In the Type field, select Generic.
4.
Select Text Protocol Setup.
