NOTES ON CARE

Recycling the BA63
Environmental protection does not begin when
it comes time to dispose of the BA63; it begins
with the manufacturer. This product was
designed according to our internal norm
“Environmental conscious product design and
development”.
The BA63 is manufactured without the use of CFCs und 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.
At this time, there are still some parts that are not reusable. Wincor Nixdorf
guarantees the environmentally safe disposal of these parts in a Recycling
Center, which is certified pursuant to ISO 9001.
So don’t simply throw your BA63 on the scrap heap when it has served its
time, but take advantage of the environmentally smart, up-to-date recycling
methods!
Please contact your competent branch office for information on how to
return and re-use devices and disposable materials.

RECYCLING THE BA63

General Notes
The BA63 customer 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 customer 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 BA63 customer displays are available to meet individual
installation requirements:

Installation of the Connector
Tube-based
Press the release knob marked with
the arrow in the drawing (1) and
disconnect the hinge from the
customer display (2).
Thread the cable through the
adapter (3) and then through the
hinge (4).

Connect the hinge and adapter.
Secure the connector cable in the
strain relief.
The distance between the strain
relief and the tip of the connector
must be 66 mm (±4 mm).

TUBE-BASED
66 mm +/- 4 mm

Plug the cable connector into the
appropriate socket of the customer
display and plug the adapter/hinge
into the customer display again until
it locks into place.
Base/ Rotating Plate
Press the release knob marked with
the arrow in the drawing (1) and
disconnect the hinge from the
customer display (2).

Plug the cable connector into the
appropriate socket of the customer
display and plug the base/hinge into
the customer display again until it
locks into place.
A metal bracket of the strain relief is
situated on the bottom side of the
base table. Loosen one of the
screws (see arrow), push the
bracket aside and guide the
connector cable from inward to
outward under the bracket through
the recess. Tighten the screw.

Customer Display Control
The customer 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 customer 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.

CUSTOMER DISPLAY CONTROL

Control Sequences
The 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:
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.

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’ 1B5B313B3148
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:
13
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.

Call display identification
The identification is called with the following ESC sequence:
ESC ‘[‘ ‘1’; ‘1’ ‘H’
The following is displayed on the screen when the sequence is entered:
Code Hexadezimal
ESC ‘[‘ ‘Py’ ; ‘Px’ ‘H’ 1B 5B 31 3B 31 48
