The number of digits that can be entered before a code will automatically entered. This can be
convenient for you customer so they do not have to press the enter key. You need to make sure this is
large enough for any codes, PIN numbers or external access codes.

Operating Hints
·
For information related to setting up and connecting a POS4000 terminal to the GXP
machine, consult the “Installation Quick Guide”.
·
All POS4000 codes will end in "0". As long as the code ends in a “0” and it is 5 characters in
length, the GXP will be able to distinguish a POS generated code from a discount code.
Discount codes should not end with a “0” and be 5 characters in length.
·
A discount code cannot be used in conjunction with a POS code. The discount would have
been applied at the time the POS code was sold, not at the time it was used at the machine.
·
The accounting information for the GXP is included in the POS4000 summary report. The
report generated by the GXP should not be used if the POS4000 is connected. The POS4000
is the master for the reporting.
·
The POS4000 is capable of generating wash codes and fleet codes. Wash codes are one time
use and have an expiration date assigned at the POS4000 terminal. Fleet codes can be used
multiple times and typically do not have an expiration date assigned.
The controller in the GXP should have an EFII board equipped with an RS485 header and connector,
and a program version 2.009 or higher. The POS 4000 should be equipped with the Unitec version of
software.
To enable the GXP to use the RS485 link to the POS4000, go to the Other Settings menu and set the
Location ID to the next highest RS485 address number that was assigned to the POS4000. Example:
if the POS4000 were assigned 1 POS is used, our location would be 2. Multiple POS locations may
require us to try different location settings (2-99). These locations should be sequential.

Auditing
POS has it’s own capabilities to show the total monies in for the selection prices. It will not show
any discounts so the total money in will be less any discounts at the machine (Ex. Code, Token,
Coupon, and Early Bird). POS4000 and the GXP audits will need to be cleared separately and at the
same time to match.
5.4.2.8
Troubleshooting
POS4000 will show up in the Configuration Report. If we lose communication with the POS, we
will record a “POS4000-com lost” error.
POS4000 has a “link test” that the owner can use to confirm it sees our system. The POS will have a
“time out” error if it looses communication with the GXP.
