DigiPoS PowerPoS Technical Manual
LAN Port
Testing of a LAN connector and its output requires specialist equipment. If you suspect a
problem with the LAN socket of your DigiPoS, please try the following first before
contacting PC-PoS:
•
Check to see if the connector is firmly inserted into the socket and latched.
•
Check to see that the connector is free from damage or dirt.
•
Make certain that the cable is in good condition (Please note that any bends
smaller than 10 times the diameter of the cable can cause internal damage to the
cable not easily seen from the exterior)
•
Check the Hub or Switch port where the cable is connected to see if there is any
indication of a ‘link‘ light or any other problem.
Parallel Port
An incorrect setting in the BIOS causes most parallel port problems. Before you connect
the device, please check the device manual and see if the device requires an SPP, EPP
or an ECP port.
If the port is set correctly, the next option is to try another device through the diagnostics
similar to the procedures described above for COM port testing.
Should the parallel port fail this test, please contact DigiPoS Systems to have a full
diagnostic workup on the DigiPoS to find the cause of the problem.
RJ12 Cash Drawer Loop Through
If there is a problem suspected with these connectors, connect the cash drawer directly
into the base of the printer and conduct a cash drawer fire test (either through the
Diagnostics or via other software). If this resolves the problem, please contact DigiPoS
Systems. If it does not, there is either a problem with the cash drawer or the PoS printer.
Sound Connectors
The only diagnosis available with these connectors is to try another output device such as
headphones that is known good. If this proves unsuccessful, please contact DigiPoS
Systems for further instructions.
USB Connectors
The only diagnosis available with this port is to try another device with a known good unit.
If this proves unsuccessful, the DigiPoS unit will have to be returned to DigiPoS Systems
for further investigation.
