Connecting the Cash Register to a PC

Alpha5000ML owner's manual
Your cash register includes two serial ports
on the back of the cash register. You can
connect items to the cash register using these
serial ports. You can only connect one device
to the serial port at a time.
To use the optional barcode reader, you must connect it to the serial port (DB9). You
can also use the serial port (RJ11) to connect the cash register to a PC and use the
RegisterLink software.
To connect your computer to the serial port (RJ11), you need a null-modem serial
cable. A 6 foot null modem serial cable is included in the box with the cash register.
Using the RegisterLink software, you can connect your cash register to a PC to
download the information.
RegisterLink must be installed and the PC restarted if it was the first time you
installed RegisterLink. For specific information about using the RegisterLink
software, see the RegisterLink manual.
Before you start, you must have the null modem serial cable. For more
information, see About the Serial Port on page77.
