Recycling the BA66
Environmental protection does not begin when
the time has come to dispose of the BA66; it
begins with the manufacturer. This product was
designed according to our internal norm
“Environmental conscious product design and
development”.
The BA66 is manufactured without the use of CFCs and CCHS and is
produced mainly from reusable components and materials.
The processed plastics can, for the most part, be recycled. Even the
precious metals can be recovered, thus saving energy and costly raw
materials.
Please do not stick labels onto plastic case parts. This would help us to
re-use components and material.
You can protect our environment by only switching on your equipment when
it is actually needed. If possible, even avoid the stand-by-mode as this
wastes energy, too. Also switch your equipment off when you take a longer
break or finish your work.
At this time, there are still some parts that are not reusable. Wincor Nixdorf
International GmbH guarantees the environmentally safe disposal of these
parts in a Recycling Center, which is certified pursuant to ISO 9001 and ISO
14001.
So don’t discard your display on the garbage when it has served its time, but
take advantage of the environmentally smart, up-to-date recycling methods!
Please contact your competent branch or the Recycling Center Paderborn
(for European countries) for information on how to return and re-use devices
and disposable materials under the following mail address:
Email: [email protected]
or on the internet.
We look forward to your mail.

RECYCLING THE BA66

General Notes
The BA66 cashier display is mainly used in POS installations which are
designed in modular form. It is either securely screwed to the POS keyboard
or installed near it so that it is ideally positioned in the cashier’s field of
vision.
The display is a vacuum florescent display (VFD) with two lines, each with
20 alphanumeric characters. The standard character set and corresponding
country code are implemented. Implementation of VFD technology ensures
that the cashier display is ergonomically designed to achieve a high degree
of readability, irrespective of the cashier’s angle of vision.
The display is connection to the point of sale system via a RS232C
interface. The voltage (12 V DC) is also supplied via this interface.
The following two BA66 cashier displays are available to meet individual
installation requirements:
BA66 cashier display with base/ rotating plate
Connector cables are available in different lengths. The cables are ordered
and delivered separately.

Cashier Display Control
The cashier display is controlled via software. The commands are entered
with the appropriate ESC sequences. The following functions are available:
nThe cursor can be moved to the desired position;
nThe cashier display can be deleted;
nThe characters from the cursor to the end of the line can be deleted;
nAn identification code can be requested;
nCountry-specific character sets can be selected;
nA self-test can be performed.

CASHIER DISPLAY CONTROL

Control Sequences
The cashier 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:
Backspace (without deleting) BS
Line feed LF
Carriage return CR
Delete display ESC [2J
Position cursor ESC [Py;PxH
Delete to end of line ESC [0K
Set country code ESC Rn
Call display identification ESC [0c
Backspace (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 very start of
the line.
Line feed
The LF command (hexadecimal 0A) moves the invisible cursor down a line
if it is positioned in one of the first three lines of the display. The column
position remains unchanged.
The position of the cursor remains unchanged if it is already in the last line.
The contents of the last line are copied to the first line and the last line is
deleted.
CONTROL SEQUENCES
14

Carriage return
The cursor is moved to the start of the line in which it is currently positioned
when the CR command (hexadecimal 0D) is entered. The command is
ignored if the cursor is already at the start of the line.
Delete display
The display can be deleted with this ESC sequence. The cursor position
remains unchanged. The ESC sequence is as follows:
Code Hexadezimal
ESC ‘[‘ ‘2’ ‘J’ 1B 5B 32 4A
Position 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 Hexadezimal
ESC ‘[‘ ‘Py’ ; ‘Px’ ‘H’ 1B 5B 31 3B 31 48
The parameters are transferred as ASCII characters and have the following
meaning:
Parameter Meaning
Py This parameter defines the line.
Px This parameter defines the column.
Example
The parameters are to replaced with the following values if you wish to
position the cursor at the very start of the first line:
15
CONTROL SEQUENCES

ESC ‘[‘ ‘1’; ‘1’ ‘H’
If you select 0 for the parameter value, this is interpreted as 1 by the
display. If, on the other hand, you select a value which is greater than the
maximum line and column value, the display will interpret this value as the
maximum value permissible.
The cursor is positioned in the first column of the first line if no parameter
values are entered.
Delete to end of line
This command deletes the characters from the cursor, cursor position
included, to the end of the line. The position of the cursor remains
unchanged.
The ESC sequence is as follows:
Code Hexadezimal
ESC ‘[‘ ‘0’ ‘K’ 1B 5B 30 4B
Set country code
The following ESC sequence is implemented in order to select a
countryspecific character set:
Code Hexadezimal
ESC ‘R’ ‘n’ 1B 52 02
The hexadecimal value n corresponds to the country code and defines the
country-specific character set. The German character set corresponds to
the default setting.
