This is an overview of how to configure POSX point of sale equipment provided by International Bar Code (IBC).

Equipment comes with the following devices:

• 1024 X 768 Touchscreen Monitor (No requirement for configuration) in a small form-factor PC unit.
• Poll Display (8200USB)
• Mag Stripe reader integrated with touchscreen
• Thermal Slip Printer (POSX ION Thermal GC13A41172)
• 16“ Cash Drawer (POSX ION-C16A-1B)
• Barcode Scanner (ie:XI3000U or POS-X EVO 2D scanner)

You can download recommended setup files located in: ftp://ftp.windward-ca.com/pub/special/IBC-Setup-Files/

Configure Windward System Five to work with a second monitor by choosing “Use Second Monitor for Customer Display” under “Device Options”. The second monitor will not become active until you enter an invoice. Once it is active you can right click to view the list of available options for configuring the layout and content.

1. Select either “Show Webpage Full Screen” under “No Invoice” or “Show Web page” under “Invoice” or both if desired.
2. Select “Web page url” under “Settings” and enter in either a local file path to a .swf Shockwave Flash file or a URL to a webpage.

The Pole display is USB but will emulate as a serial device once the drivers are installed. First, download and install the 8200-USB driver which will allow you to configure the port settings to be used for the device. Once installed, download and extract the 8200-2200.zip file and run the VFD_Setup.exe file. This will allow you to set the Pole Display in a number of different configuration settings. We recommend setting the Pole display to be in DSP-800 mode. The user can load the 8200-DSP-800.vfd file which will pre-set the settings required for the DSP-800:

Once the settings have been downloaded to the device, the WindwardPOS device manager can be set to use the DSP-800 as the Pole display.

The Mag Stripe reader should be setup for reading tracks 1 and 2 only as well as have the % prefix programmed.

1. Download the xm_config.zip file and extract the content
2. Run the setup.exe to install the software for the device.
3. Run the software and select the Basic reader Settings
4. Select “Load From File.” and choose the pre-set configuration file Windward-MAG-Strip-Config.cfs2
5. Do not forget to choose to write the settings to mag stripe before closing.

To install the Slip Printer, download the Vendor Thermal printer drivers and run the driver installer. This will setup the printer in Windows. Once installed, log into System Five, go into Printer Setup and select the Slip Printer Option and Slip printer driver codes for this printer. Note, this slip printer emulates the Epson ESC character for opening attached cash drawers.

Connect the RJ11 connector to the back of the slip printer that is marked “Cash Drawer.” Then, in the Windward POS Device Manager, set the port settings to your Slip Printer name and select the Epson ESC codes for the pre-defined drawer codes.

This model of barcode scanner comes pre-programmed to scan the most common type of barcodes. A carriage return after scanning a barcode is programmed by default. For proper functionality, the scanner needs to be programmed with the STX (Start of Text) prefix character. To perform this operation, scan the following barcodes on pages 14 and 52 of the users manual: xi3200_manual.pdf

A: Scan the Clear Pre / Post Amble barcode (pg 14)
B: Scan the Preamble Barcode (pg 14)
C: Scan the STX Barcode (pg 52)
      D: Scan the Preamble Barcode again (pg 14)

Barcodes for perfroming this operation are below:

Once this has been set, log into Windward and set the pre-amble character setting by selecting Barcode Reader under Point of Sale Devices and following the prompts. Finally, in the Windward POS Device manager, set the barcode scanner to be Keyboard Wedge. Screen-shots of barcodes required to scan, plus full PDF of manual

POS device manager version 6.0.82.56 supports HID mode barcode scanners. This works much better for driver license scans, but will not work with Terminal Services as RDP does not redirect HID devices. You do not need pre or post ambles with HID mode. In the POS device manager, simply select the HID tab and select the HID scanner from the list. The EVO-2D shows as 4600.
