Operating Systems

The P1220 can be configured with different operating systems including XP Professional, XP Embedded, or
Windows Embedded for Point of Service (WEPOS).

Connecting the Power Source

After the power cord is connected into the base of the P1220, you can plug it into a standard U.S. (United
States) power outlet.
To connect the power source to the P1220, plug the power cable from the terminal into the power outlet.

Connecting to a Network

Most business configurations will require you to connect your P1220 system to a network. Connecting to a
network will enable you to communicate with other systems and devices also on the network, and depending on
your business' configuration, may allow you to connect to the Internet.
To connect the P1220 to a network, plug the 10/100 Ethernet cable into the port labeled NETWORK on
the bottom panel. The other end of the 10/100 Ethernet cable should be connected into your network hub.
NOTE: You may need to consult with your business' IT (information technology) representative to
determine whether you have a network connection available, and to locate the network hub to
connect to your P1220.

Connecting Peripheral Devices

In order to use the P1220 system to run your business' software, you can set up several peripheral components.
The P1220 is compatible with standard PC equipment, including a USB mouse, USB keyboard, printer,
speakers, network connectivity, as well as any other devices that can be supported by your operating system.
This section of the guide covers some of the common peripheral components that you may want to connect to
the P1220.

Using the RS-232 Ports

You can connect various peripheral devices to the P1220 by using any of the four powered RS-232 serial ports
located on the bottom panel. Some peripherals that are commonly supported by the RS-232 ports include
scanners, printers, and cash drawers.
NOTE: Other peripheral devices may also be compatible with the RS-232 serial ports. Please refer to each
device's User Manual to determine which type of port it supports.
To connect a peripheral device to one of the RS-232 serial ports on the P1220, plug the device cord into
any of the serial ports (labeled RS232 1, 2, 3, and 4 on the bottom panel). See picture 2-1 for a visual
reference of the ports' location.
The RS232 ports use RJ11 connectors (12v, 500 mA). Maximum of 12 watts.
