Appendix B - ECR Programming

Samsung Required Programming

The register number, store number, baud rate, and polling port must be programmed into the register during the initial setup of the Samsung. These fields must match those entered into the PC before communications.

S-Mode

The 6500/6540 Register Number is programmed in S-Mode programming. To enter S-Mode programming, turn the register key to the S position. The Register Number is at S-Mode address 1.

Push the <1> and <SBTL> keys.

Enter the Register’s number from 1 to 16.

Then push the <X/TIME> key.

Finally push the <CASH> key to exit the Register Number programming.

P-Mode

The 6500/6540 Store Number, Baud Rate, and Polling Port are programmed in P-Mode Communications programming. To enter P-Mode programming, turn the register key to the P position.

Store Number

The default 6500/6540 Store Number is 0. You must enter a Store Number and it is at P-Mode address 5.

• Push <6><0> <SBTL> to enter Communications Options Programming.
• Push the <5> and <X/TIME> keys to enter Store Number Programming.
• Enter the Store Number as a four digit number from 0001 to 9999. Push the <SBTL> key.
• Push <CASH> to exit Communications programming.

Polling Port and Baud Rate

The ports on the 6500/6540 are numbered from front to back as 1, 2, 3, and 4. Ports #1 and #2 are RS-232 types while ports #3 and #4 are RJ-45 types. Only define one port for polling. The ECR will attempt to use the first port it finds enabled for polling. If both ports 1 and 2 are enabled, it will find port 1 first and never look at port 2.

To setup serial port #1 for polling, the address is at P-Mode 50.

• Push <5><0> then push the <X/TIME> key.
• Push <2> for a 9600 rate then push the <SBTL> key.

The P-Mode address for dedicating serial port #1 to polling is at address 53.

• Push <5><3> then push the <X/TIME> key.
• Push <1> to dedicate the serial port to PC/POLL
• Then push the <SBTL> key.
• Finally push the <CASH> key to exit Communications programming.

To poll from serial port #2, substitute address 60 for address 50 and substitute address 63 for 53.

EPROM Version

The first thing needed in Polling is your EPROM version. To find the EPROM version in your Samsung 6500/6540 place the C key in S-Mode.

• Press <1><0> <SBTL> to enter the S-Mode Service Programming area.
• Press <8> <X/TIME> to print the EPROM Check Sum and Memory Allocation.
• <CASH> <CASH> to exit.

This will print out the EPROM version and date.

Doublewide Characters

The Samsung is capable of using descriptors with doublewide characters.  To print doublewide characters in the logo message, place a ~ in front of each character in Version 6 that should be doublewide.  After saving and sending this program, the character will appear differently.  This is ok--the information will still function correctly.
