    (like MSR, customer display and more) the J2 625 will perfectly satisfy most POS application requirements. The J2 625 is available with your choice of either a zero bezel resistive touch screen or a multi-touch projected capacitive touch screen. The new zero bezel five-wire resistive touch screen provides the same quick response and feel of a resistive touch screen traditionally used in the POS market.

  • Page 28: Advanced Screen

    These options are provided to offer maximum flexibility in configuring the J2 625. The Item Specific Help (seen on the right hand side of the screen) explains each option.
  • Page 29: Power Configuration

    This BIOS screen allows the enabling of the power for the serial ports, and changing the default brightness setting for the LCD screen. The LCD screen brightness can also be set via the Windows OS. J2 625 System Manual Version 0.1 June15, 2012 (Draft)

    Installation The utility can be downloaded from the J2 web site: http://support.j2rs.com/625/utilities/ To install, simply unzip anywhere and run setup. Like other J2 utilities it can be uninstalled though the Windows control panel. Main The main screen displays the following: the current version of firmware, the power on count (in hours), a list of the number of power cycles, and the dim timeout setting and dim brightness settings.
  • Page 33: Power-On Hours

    Power-On Hours The MCU uses an internal timer to keep track of how many total hours the J2 625 has been up and running in its lifetime. This number shows powered-up hours only, not the powered but off/standby time. The accuracy of this timer is only about +/- 5% and is to be used as an approximate number.
  • Page 34: Dim Brightness

    10%. The possible range is from 5-95%, in 5% increments. Note: Dimming is important for a few reasons: one is to lower the total power consumption of the unit; another would be to prolong the LCD screen backlight LED life. J2 625 System Manual Version 0.1 June15, 2012 (Draft)
  • Page 35: Update Mcu Firmware

    Update MCU Firmware This tab is used to update the MCU firmware when necessary. This may be to add a new feature or function to the MSR/iButton. J2 will supply a firmware file for this when required. Use the “Select Flash Firmware File” button to start the update, as shown below. This will let you browse for the correct file.
  • Page 36: Mcu Option

    The utility will now update the MCU firmware. It will first write the memory then verify it. Do not turn off the J2 625 power when updating. MCU Option This tab is only used for factory programming and verification of the MCU option fuses.
  • Page 37: Dimwake

    XP operating system (like XP Pro, POSReady 2009, WEPOS, or XP Embedded). The DimWake program is used to take the J2 625 out of auto dim mode. The hardware can only take the system out of dimming by either a touch of the touch screen, MSR read, iButton read, or keyboard activity that changes the keyboard LED status.
  • Page 38: J2 Health

    J2 Health J2 has a standard program that works with all its POS products, called J2 Health. This program is used in either a standalone mode or in conjunction with J2 remote monitor/asset tracking software. The J2 Health program monitors different aspects of the POS hardware to ensure the hardware is running within specification.
  • Page 39: Logging To File

    As can be seen above, when running on the J2 625 the J2 Health program displays critical system voltages and system and CPU Core temperatures. For other J2 POS systems, J2 Health may display more or less information. An example would be the J2 625 unit, which in addition to the above information would also display the fan speed of the two J2 625 fans.
