The program description deals with the following:
A device of type IMC Keyboard can be updated, i.e. programmed, changed or cleared, with this program. Data which already exists can also be displayed for information. The interface and link to a processing unit should be defined and the device-specific operating type set.
The following four different keyboards are supported by the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS program:
The modular keyboard can also have a central lock as an option; the other keyboards have this lock as a standard feature. The central lock of the modular keyboard has positions P1 and P2 instead of the P position. These are defined in the OCSAR program as P = P1 and Q = P2. Positions 0, 1 2, X, Z, P and T apply to all central locks.
In addition to the central lock, a WMF waiter lock and other special locks can also be connected and configured for all keyboards. All keyboards support a so-called beeper which can be parametered as keyboard clicks as a buzzer and for indicating errors.
Note:
Operation of IMC devices assumes that
the interface board IMC 70 is installed for connection of these devices.
Documentation IMC 70 contains further details on the installation and configuration of the IMC 70 interface board.
