Keyboards
5932 Keyboards
The NCR 5932 Keyboards are intended for harsh retail environments
and contain an internal membrane to protect against objects such as
paper clips, staple wires, pins, and so forth, from falling between the
keys and damaging the electronics. This technology improves overall
reliability not typically found in standard PC keyboards or many retail
keyboards.
The RealPOS 30 supports four models of the NCR 5932 Keyboard:
•
NCR PS/2 Alphanumeric Big Ticket POS Keyboard (5932 ‐ 1xxx)
•
NCR 64 ‐ Key PS/2 POS Keyboard (5932 ‐ 2xxx)
•
NCR USB Alphanumeric Big Ticket Keyboard (5932 ‐ 5xxx)
•
NCR 5932 ‐ 6xxx 104 ‐ Key Programmable POS Keyboard
•
NCR 78 ‐ Key Programmable POS PS/2 Keyboard (5932 ‐ 7xxx)
Keyboard Power
The RealPOS 80 supplies power to the PS/2 keyboard even when in the
OFF state. This is for configurations that require the terminal to turn on
when a key is pressed. Most NCR PS/2 keyboards have a Power ON
LED which stays illuminated, indicating power is present in the
keyboard. Pressing a key may also cause tones to be sounded, but
unless the terminal is configured to power up when a key is press,
nothing happens.
