Page 6: Introduction
INTRODUCTION The KP3700/3800 is a family of multifunction keyboards with enhanced layout. The keyboards feature programmable keys (of which most are re-legendable), integrated magnetic stripe card reader (or optional bar code slot reader), and built-in bar code scanning input port. The keyboards also feature a mini- mal footprint and protection against damage from liquid spillage. -

Switch the computer back on. The keyboard should emit a beep. locking tabs Connecting a Decoded Scanner Since the KP3700/3800 keyboard features an onboard scanner decoder, the keyboard can only accept undecoded scanner (or RS232) input through the scanner port. Most currently available decoded scanners can be configured to operate in “Wand Emulation... -

Page 9: Keyboard Configuration Manager
KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION MANAGER Keyboard Configuration Manager software is the simplest and most foolproof way to configure your keyboard settings. Start It Up After loading and starting KCMSetup.exe, the icon to the right will appear on your desktop: Click on the KCM icon and the following screen will appear: As you can see, you are... - Page 10 The above four icons are used in the “Data Editing” feature of KCM. From left to right they are the “Add a Formula” icon, the “Remove a Formula” icon, and the right-hand two are the “Move Formula” icons that move selected formulas up or down in relation to each other. For information on data editing, see page 28.

(Or, click on the “New Document” icon, page 4, to start with the “Factory Default” setting on the second screen below) Enter the keyboard product number (KP3700, for example), and click “OK”. The “Good Read” LED on the keyboard will flash during the upload process. -
Page 12: Settings
Following is a detailed discussion of each of the settings, their attributes, and the effects each of these will have on data output from your Unitech keyboard. Beeps and Delays The three attributes for “Beeps and Delays” are: “Beep Tone”, “Intercharacter Delay”, and “Interblock Delay”. -
Page 13: Keyboard Wedge
Keyboard Wedge Your Unitech keyboard contains a built-in data decoder or “wedge” that translates raw bar code or magnetic stripe input into Keyboard Scan Code, with the result that scanner data, magnetic stripe data, and keyboard data exit the keyboard as if you had typed the text. -
Page 14: Use Numeric Keypad
Keyboard Wedge, continued Use Numeric Keypad The ASCII code for numeric input from the keypad part of the keyboard is different from that of the upper row of the keyboard proper. Some accounting programs specifically require keypad input, and for that reason, the keyboard decoder can output scanned or read numbers as either keypad or keyboard (upper row) output. -
Page 15: Rs232
RS232 The RS232 input characteristics of the keyboard’s scanner port (see page 2) can be modified according to the following four parameters: Baud Rate Baud Rate (bits per second) refers to the speed of the data through the scanner/RS232 port. Normally, the baud rate of the port should match that of the input device. -
Page 16: Scanner Port
Scanner Port Terminator, Use Code ID, Double Verification, Scanning Mode, Label Type, Aim Function for Long-Range Engine, Aim Time for Long-Range Engine, Preamble, and Postamble are the parameters for Scanner Port configuration. Terminator The Terminator is a command that follows the input of bar code data. -

Page 20: Track 2
Track 2 The recording density of Track 2 is defined as 75 bits per inch. The character configuration (encoding) is 4 bits plus 1 parity (odd) bit, which yields 16 unique characters (10 numeric digits plus 6 symbolic characters :;<=>?). The maximum information content, defined by the American Bankers Association (ABA), is 40 characters arranged in the format below. -
Page 21: Track 3
Track 3 The recording density of Track 3 is defined as 210 bits per inch. The character configuration (encoding) is 4 bits plus 1 parity (odd) bit, which yields 16 unique characters (10 numeric digits plus 6 symbolic characters :;<=>?). The maximum information content, defined by the Thrift Industry (THRIFT-TTS), is 107 characters arranged in the format below. -
Page 22: Setting Magnetic Reader Parameters
Setting Magnetic Reader Parameters Keyboard Configuration Manager, shown left and outlined in detail below, enables the output from the keyboard’s magnetic stripe reader to be modi- fied to the user’s require- ments. In a POS environment, normally only Track 2 is selected. -
Page 23: Track 2 Account Number Only
Magnetic Reader, continued Track 2 Account Number Only If only track 2 is enabled (see previous page), only the account number from track 2 and the start/stop sentinels are output. If tracks other than track 2 are enabled, this parameter actually outputs all the other track’s data, the account number from track 2, and their start/stop sentinels. -

Page 33: Data Editing
Data Editing Data Editing is a powerful function that can give you tremendous control over how data is exported from the scanner/reader/keyboard. After clicking on “Data Editing” the data editing icons become active. Click on the icon with the blue circle and white plus sign. - Page 34 Data Editing, continued Even if the original bar code data is not modified, if additional char- acters are to be added (see “Add New”, below) the original Start Parameter must be defined as From Position “1” and the End Parameter defined as “All Remaining”, otherwise, none of the original data will be output.
-
Page 35: Arrange Formulas
Data Editing, continued Arrange Formulas After the formulas have been created, they must be arranged in the opti- mum sequence by select- ing formulas and using the “Move Formula” icons (see page 5). This sequence is usually according to their qualifier - from least likely to occur to most likely to occur. -
Page 36: Key Programming
KEY PROGRAMMING 92 of the 104 keys of your KP3700 keyboard (88 of the 100 keys on the KP3800) can be programmed to output characters, macros, or functions that the user defines. One common alternative key re- mapping scheme might be a Dvorak keyboard layout. Another example would be to assign price discount computation functions to specific key combinations. -
Page 37: Examples
Examples To Re-Map One Key: In the Key Programming program, click on the letter “T” on the keyboard graphic. The “T” key becomes red and the “Select Modi- fier” area becomes active. Make sure that only “Normal” is checkmarked in the “Select Modifier” area - if it isn’t, then double- click it. -
Page 38: Programming Via Scanner Input
PROGRAMMING VIA SCANNER INPUT In addition to the Keyboard Configuration Manager software, your Unitech keyboard can also be configured via undecoded (TTL) bar code scanner input. See page 2 for scanner interface requirements. The concept is fairly simple: Parameters are associated together into groups. -
