no hardware conflicts. This is typically done prior to store installation and within a technical environment.
Care and Cleaning
Never use pens, pencils, fingernails, or other sharp objects on the Touch Screen. This will damage the screen and
void the warranty. Turn the unit OFF before cleaning the screen or case. Use only UTC RETAIL-approved cleaning
agents. For best results, spray the cleaning agent on a soft cloth or paper towel, then gently wipe the screen and case.
Avoid getting cleaning agents in the space between the screen and the case. Do not spray cleaning agents directly
onto the screen. Approved cleaning agents: Fantastik, Formula 409, Windex.

During the power-on self test (POST), the BIOS either sounds a beep code or displays a message when it detects a
correctable error. Additional messages and symptoms are specific to the operating system, application, and/or
connected peripherals for that system.
Error Message Explanation
BIOS ROM checksum error – System halted The BIOS code may have become corrupt. Contact UTC RETAIL Technical
Support.
CMOS battery failed CMOS battery is no longer functional. Contact UTC RETAIL Technical
Support.
CMOS checksum error – Defaults loaded Checksum of CMOS is incorrect, so the system has loaded the default
equipment configuration. May indicate that CMOS has become corrupt. A
weak battery may have caused this error.
Contact UTC RETAIL Technical Support.
Hard disk(s) diagnosis fail The system may run specific disk diagnostic routines. This message appears
if the hard drive returns an error when the diagnostics run.
Contact UTC RETAIL Technical Support.
Override enabled - Defaults loaded If the system cannot boot using the current CMOS configuration, the BIOS
can override the current configuration with a set of BIOS defaults designed for
the most stable, minimal-performance system operations.
Contact UTC RETAIL Technical Support for BIOS settings.
Symptom Troubleshooting
Touch screen accuracy is off Recalibrate the touch screen using the calibration utility.

Note: If you are using the line display with an OPOS, JavaPOS, or POS for .Net application, this document does
not apply to you. You will need to use the correct driver available on the UTC RETAIL web site at
www.utcretail.com.
The UT1800 Customer Line Display operates by converting recognized data, supplied by serial communication
(default COM6), into a display message. The supplied data may also contain commands that control the display.
The UT1800 Customer Line Display uses a limited command structure for display control, requiring minimal
programming effort. The table below lists the display control features of the UT1800 Customer Display and control
codes (in ASCII, DEC, and HEX expression). The display control command structure, with examples, is described in
this section.

Serial Operating Parameters Selection
The UT1800 Customer Display ships factory set for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, and no parity. If desired, the baud and
parity can be changed with a few simple steps.
Remove the Lens cover by depressing the 2 tabs on the bottom of the display. While the tabs are depressed, carefully
rotate the lens cover off of the display, starting at the bottom of the display. Once the lens is removed, the headers
used to select the baud rate and parity will be visible. They are located on the printed circuit board to the right of the
vacuum florescent display. The shorting jumpers (supplied with unit) can be added to change both the baud rate
and/or parity.
The diagram below shows positions of the shorting jumpers needed for different baud rates and parities. Up to 4
shorting jumpers may be needed.

1800 Cash Drawer Driver
Note: If you are using the cash drawer with an OPOS, JavaPOS, or POS for .Net application, this document does
not apply to you. You will need to use the correct driver available on the UTC RETAIL web site at
www.utcretail.com.
Linux
If you purchased your UltimaTouch1800 with Linux pre-installed on it, the kernel driver for the cash drawer
should have already been installed. If you setup Linux yourself, you will need to download the Linux kernel driver
(p.n.: 11473039) from the UTC RETAIL web site. When the driver is installed a device node called "/dev/UTC
RETAIL1800Cashdrawer" will be created. This is the file that all communications with the driver will go though.
Included in the driver package is sample source code showing how to communicate with the cash drawer port on the
UltimaTouch1800. Any application that you write to use the cash drawer must have the following include line:
#include "1800cashdrawer_ioctl.h"
The 1800cashdrawer_ioctl.h file defines the IO Controls (ioctls) for using the cash drawer port. The following ioctls
are defined:
IOCTL_FIRE_1 Fire drawer 1
IOCTL_FIRE_2 Fire drawer 2
IOCTL_STATUS Get drawer open status
Note: Although two cash drawers are supported; there is only one status line. If either of the two drawers is open,
the status will be open. If both drawers are closed, the status will be closed.
Below is a code snipit that shows how to open drawer 1:
...SNIP...
printf("Firing 1\n");
dev = fopen("/dev/UTC RETAIL1800Cashdrawer","r");
if( dev == NULL){
perror("Failed to open /dev/UTC RETAIL1800Cashdrawer ");
exit(1);
}
if(ioctl(fileno(dev),IOCTL_FIRE_1) == -1){
perror("Error with ioctl ");
}
fclose(dev);
...SNIP...
Below is a code snipit that shows how to get the status of the cash drawer
...SNIP...
printf("Status : ");
opendev();
if(ioctl(fileno(dev),IOCTL_STATUS, &retval) == -1){
perror("Error with ioctl ");
}
printf("%s\n",(retval?"Open":"Closed"));
fclose(dev);
...SNIP...

11473012 Rev B 14 © 2007, UTC RETAIL
Windows 2000/XP
If you purchased your UltimaTouch1800 with Windows XP or 2000 pre-installed on it, the kernel driver for the
cash drawer should have already been installed. If you installed Windows yourself, you will need to download the
kernel driver (p.n.: 11473038) from the UTC RETAIL web site. When the driver is installed, the cash drawer will
show up in the device manager under "UTC RETAIL POS Devices".
Included in the driver package is sample source code showing how to communicate with the cash drawer port on the
UltimaTouch1800. Any application that you write to use the cash drawer must have the following include line:
#include "cashdrawer_ioctl.h"
The cashdrawer_ioctl.h file defines the IO Controls (ioctls) for using the cashdrawer port. The following ioctls are
defined:
IOCTL_UTC RETAIL_CASHDRAWER_FIRE_1 Fire drawer 1
IOCTL_UTC RETAIL_CASHDRAWER_FIRE_2 Fire drawer 2
IOCTL_UTC RETAIL_CASHDRAWER_STATUS Get drawer open status
IOCTL_UTC RETAIL_CASHDRAWER_REGISTER_EVENT Register for status change events
Note: Although two cash drawers are supported; there is only one status line. If either of the two drawers is open,
the status will be open. If both drawers are closed, the status will be closed.
Below is a code snipit that shows how to open drawer 1:
