User Information
Using the Stylus The stylus is a pen-shaped pointing instrument, used to select items and enter
information. Tap the screen once to select an option or a field. Tap the screen twice in
quick succession ('double tap') to select an item from an alpha list.
Note: You should never use a regular pen or any other item in place of the stylus, as this
could damage the screen.
Using the Scanner To scan bar codes, make sure the scanner is enabled then aim the scanner at the bar
code. Press either the right, left or center scan trigger. Make sure that the red scan
beam covers the entire bar code. A green light and a beep will indicate a successful
scan.
Controlling the Contrast/Back light
The Function button (bottom right) allows you to adjust the contrast of the screen and
control the back light.
To adjust the contrast:
1. Press and hold the Function button (bottom right).
2. Press the 'up' scroll button at the top of the terminal to lighten the screen,
or the 'down' scroll button to darken the screen.
To turn the back light on or off:
1. Press and hold the Function button (bottom right).
2. Press any application button.
Resetting your POSiPal
A soft reset will restart the terminal, while saving all stored records and entries. To
perform a soft reset, hold down both the 'up' and 'down' scroll buttons (top right), then
press the App 4 button (located above the Function button).
