VR2004 POS (Point of Sale) Compatibility

What do I need to know to install a Text Inserter?

No technology can break into a POS system and force data out. The POS must cooperate. The installer must identify some data which comes out of the POS naturally and is suitable for Loss Prevention. The most common way to get suitable data is from a serial port set up for a customer pole display or a journal printer.

You should think of the Text Inserter like this: It is a Pole Display or a Journal Printer which just happens to print on CCTV Video.

It is simple to add Text Insertion to almost any POS system that has a serial port to support either a Pole Display or Journal Printer. POS system developers are now adding dedicated output for Text Inserters which work even better. They go by such names as "Serial Security Interface", "Video Interface", "Camera Interface" or similar sounding names.

We have an extensive list of POS systems and Cash Registers where our Text Inserter has been field proven.
If you do not see your POS system, please call or email for assistance. Please be ready with the Cash Register or POS name and version number. Equally important is the brand and model of the pole display used or which can be supported by the cash register or POS system. If you are using a printer please specify the brand and model.

For applications such as metal recycling and waste management, we even support electronic scales.

Before you order, please double check your interface type.

Pole displays come in both serial and parallel. Please check to see if your is display is connected to a COM port (serial DB9 male) or an LPT1 parallel port (usually DB25 female) on the Point of Sale system.

Printers come in both serial and parallel. Serial printers usually have a DB25 female connector. Parallel printers usually have a 36 pin Centronics connector.
