PST-7000 series user’s manual – BRIEF INTRODUCTION
EXAMPLE 2
For a multi-function store, such as a restaurant serving for all of breakfast,
lunch, dinner and late snack, each meal requires very different menu; or a department
store that is seeking for a standardized facility throughout its various departments
each requires many items of merchandise, the multi-page capability of this keyboard
can play the crusader. Simply program each page of the keyboard for each meal or
each department. This PST programmable keyboard then serves for different
application as the 6 position key is turned to different position, yet the facility remains
unified.
FURTHER IDEAS
The answer back function of this keyboard can be utilized to show some
welcome sign on the customer display or force the system into an instant sleep mode
when the cashier has to leave the post for a short period and turn the switch to LCK
position.
Combining the answer back function of the keyboard with the software
shutdown capability of the terminal, the answer back code can be programmed to
some software command that will instruct the application program to start a
termination process and then send the shutdown command codes to the system. In this
way, the key position LP can be used as the software safeguarded power off switch.
All the above are only some examples of the powerful combination of key
programming and key access management that is possible with this keyboard. Further
functionality and sophistication can be applied with multiple level keys and other
capability of this keyboard. All of this may be accomplished without any additional
lines of application program code and without introducing any TSR or .dll executables
into the system.
