RS4310 / RS4810 Terminal Configuration
The RS4310 and RS4810 products offer a high level of functionality at an affordable price. These compact terminals are designed to meet the demands of the retail industry. The RS4310 and RS4810 support the same full functionality of Version 2.0 software existing in the RS4510 today. This feature allows resellers to provide a migration path for RS4510 users. Concurrently, utilizing the Version 2.0 software will minimize the expense and training investment resellers would typically need with new software applications.
The hardware features of the Series RS4000 terminals combined with the extensive POS functionality of version 2.0 software provide:
- A Single Vender Turnkey (Hardware and Software) POS Solution
- An Affordable Alternative to PC-based POS Platforms
- A Reliable and Easy-to-Use POS Solution
- A Low Maintenance and Support POS Solution
Compared to prior generation OMRON products for General Retail, the Series RS4000 offers:
- Customer Display Standard Feature - The easy-to-read turret style customer display that adjusts for maximum visibility and is included as a standard feature.
- Increased RAM - The Series RS4000 includes 512K RAM memory that can be upgraded to 2MB supporting approximately 35,000 PLUs.
- Additional ROM Capacity - Will allow for application development of new versions of software and niche market feature enhancements.
- Flash ROM Capability - The RS4810 offers Flash ROM capability as a standard feature. Flash ROM permits application software to be electronically loaded without having to physically replace the EPROM.
- Expanded Connectivity - The RS4810 provides up to 4 RS232 ports expanding peripheral connectivity and I/O options (1 for Host Comm, 1 for RS232 scanner, 2 utility ports).
The RS4310 and RS4810 will offer all of the same peripheral options. These include:
- Host Communication
- Precision Scale in 10 lb. or 30 lb.
- EXP/ On-line Credit Authorization
- Scanner Interface via RS232 or OCIA
- Slip Printer
- Coin Dispenser
Additionally, the RS4310 and RS4810 use many of the same option boards and internal components as are used with the RS4510. This feature simplifies parts sparing, technical repair and support.
System Configuration The utilization of Version 2.0 Software makes OmCom (OMRON's Communication Software) and BackPACK (OMRON's Back Office Application) transparent for both the RS4310 and RS4810. Additionally, this feature permits an RS4510 to co-exist with the RS4310 or RS4810.
RS4310/RS4810 Compatibility with the RS4510 The RS4310 and RS4810 can reside on the same ISC network with the RS4510 when ALL the terminals are using Version 2.0 Software. Because the initial release of both models utilize the Version 2.0 software, the compatibility between product families will minimize the time and cost associated with training sales, support and technical personnel on the new products.
Compatibility Exceptions with the RS4510
The RS4310 or RS4810 is required to be the master terminal connected to the host.
If a RAM Clear is performed on a RS4510 and a VE file from a RS4310/RS4810 is loaded, the keyboard will need to be re-loaded.
If a master RS4310/RS4810 terminal copy or host copy is loaded into a RS4510 with an existing program, the keyboard will NOT have to be re-loaded.
If a copy of an RS4510 VE File is copied to the RS4310 or RS4810, the keyboard will be corrupted and must be re-loaded.
The following individual files are NOT compatible: Clerk file, Key Map and Macro keys.
The RS4310, RS4810 or Host can obtain a consolidation report from the RS4510, however, the RS4510 cannot perform a consolidated report of mixed terminals.
Version 2.0 Software
The Retail Series RS4000 offers a product with a proven track record of performance. This software includes extensive POS transaction functionality and comprehensive reporting that will improve front end processing and overall operations. Release 2.0 software has all these key features:
- Suspend/Recall
