POS Keyboards

The keyboard is and remains the preferred

input medium for computers, even in the age
of highly modern information technology. This
also applies to the electronic POS terminal.
The itemized scanning of barcodes on goods
by optical readers saves the effort of manually
keying in the product numbers and prices,
yet it does not eliminate the need for a
keyboard. Program control and alphanumeric
data input are still performed via the
keyboard.

POS keyboards are different from traditional

PC keyboards in that functions, categories
or items are assigned to keys, which are
individually defined by application and not by
the operating system. It is necessary as a
result to be able to configure and program
the individual keys freely. POS keyboards are
not simply keyboards, rather they combine
devices such as key lock, card reader and
operator display.

The Wincor Nixdorf POS keyboards are high

quality products, developed for professional
and long-term use on POS workstations. In

TECHNICAL DATA

Models TA61, TA85 and TA64 are “dedicated”
POS keyboards. They have a numeric
keypad and freely programmable function
keys. The typical area of application includes
conventional sales cash desks with text-
based applications.
Both the TA61 and TA85 keyboards have
tactile, freely configurable keypad with a
matrix of 5 x 12 or 7 x 12 keys. Depending on
the application, these can be equipped and
labeled with dummy, single, double or four-
way keys. The two keyboards can be
distinguished by the number of keys and the
type of unrestricted programming. For TA85,
the key code can be individually programmed
on top of the key function.
The TA64 is a splash-protected tactile
keyboard, that is equipped with 125 keys. The
key surface is covered by a wipeable foil,
which protects the electronics from splashes,
dust and grease. The individual key labeling
is performed using an easy-to-replace
keyboard template. This makes it ideally
suited for use in the hospitality trade, grocery
trade, garden centers, car repair shops and
many others.

TECHNICAL DATA

The TA58P PC POS keyboard is a PC-
compatible keyboard with POS-specific
function keys. With both the alphanumeric
and purely numeric keypads, the keyboard
offers freely configurable and programmable
function keys. On top of the key functions,
the keycode can also be individually
programmed. Furthermore, the BA66 or BA69
operator displays can also be adapted.
The keyboard is ideally suited for use in full-
screen POS system solutions, particularly
where freely definable function keys and an
integrated magnetic card reader are required
in addition to PC-compatibility.
