Customer display control There are a few points to take note of: - • If there is no font at the top or bottom of the base character, blank (A0h) is sent instead. • If the character reaches the end of display line, the pixel coordinate does not automatically position itself to the next line.
Customer display control Command Description The BA63G customer display operates in VT100 mode, i.e. it emulates a subset of the VT100 ESC sequences and control bytes. These are illustrated in the following: ASIC OMMANDS Backspace (without deleting) Line feed Carriage return...
Customer display control VT100 command set ACKSPACE WITHOUT DELETING The BS command (hexadecimal 08) moves the cursor one space to the left. If there is a character in the position to which the cursor moves, it is not deleted. This command is ignored if the cursor is already at the first position of the line.
Customer display control OSITION CURSOR The cursor position can be defined with this ESC sequence. The cursor is not visible on the display whilst this is being carried out. The following ESC sequence (for example) can be implemented: Code Hexadecimal ESC’[‘’Py’;’Px’’H’...
Customer display control ELETE TO END OF LINE This command deletes the characters from the cursor, cursor position is included, to the end of the line. The position of the cursor remains unchanged. The ESC sequence is as follows: Code Hexadecimal ESC’[‘’0’’K’...

Parameters Py and Px specify the byte coordinates that reference to the upper-left corner of the picture.
Customer display control OAD USER DEFINED FONT The following command carries a user defined character font that to be stored in the internal buffer: Code Hexadecimal ESC ‘[‘ ‘F’ code1 code2 1B 5B 46 Only 16 × 16 resolution for 2-bytes code character and 8 × 16 resolution for 1-byte code character are supported.
Customer display control ETTING WATCH DOG OF CABLE MONITOR This command defines time period of cable monitor: Code Hexadecimal ESC ‘[‘ ‘nn’ ‘T’ 1B 5B 31 30 54 There is a cable monitor which monitors the signal on the RS-232 line, if nothing appear on the cable for a certain duration, the monitor will turn on the clock automatically.
Customer display control ELECT LINE MODE This command selects the display in 4 line mode: Code Hexadecimal ESC ‘[‘ ‘0’ ‘I’ 1B 5B 30 49 This command selects the display in 2 line mode: Code Hexadecimal ESC ‘[‘ ‘1’ ‘I’ 1B 5B 3149 These 2 commands switch cursor coordinate between 2 -line mode and 4 -line mode.
Pixel position in the vertical direction. Valid range 0 to 63. Remark This command is applicable only when the country code is set to Thai. Thai language support is available in the newest version of the BA63G starting with firmware version 1.03. GB - 20...

System connection System connection The system is connected via the RS232C (V.24) interface with a voltage supply of +12V The following parameters are set as standard: Transmission rate 9,600 Baud Parity Parity Parameters other than these standard values can also be selected. Wire jumpers must be soldered onto the display circuitry in order to do so.

System connection Attention: Contrast adjustment The display is equiped with a temperature compensation circuit that will ensure contrast is near optimum over the specified operating temperature range. However, in case where this setting has drifted, the contrast level can be re-adjusted. Open the front cover and use a standard screw driver to adjust the contrast voltage by turning the potentiometer close to Jp4.
Connection system Connection system The customer display cable features a 6 -pins female connector at one end (which is connected to the customer display) and a 9-pin D sub connector at the other (which is connected to the COM interface of the point of sale system). Similarly, the voltage (12V) is also supplied to the display via the COM interface.
Test Function Test functions A brief internal test is carried during start-up phase. The display shows “WINCOR NIXDORF” and the current jumper setting status if no errors are detected during the test. The display remains blank if any error is detected. The identification is called with the following ESC sequence: ESC[0c The display runs through the self-test program once when the code is transmitted to the...
