MECHANICAL FIXATION
For the KP-300 / KP-300T to be
installed in the KS series host system, the
upgrade kit is installed to the right edge of
the LCD panel. You may find two screw
holes on back of the right side of the main
unit of KS series as circled in the right
picture. Remove these 2 screws to remove
the cover for side mount upgrade kit as arrowed in same picture. Take out the
cable inside this cover as circled in lower right picture and then connect it to
connector inside the side mount upgrade kit KP-
300 / KP-300T as arrowed in same picture.
Gently arrange the excessive
length of this cable back in the
hole and use the 2 original
screws to fit KP-300 / KP-300T
back to the position originally occupied by the cover as in the
left picture. Please reserve the cover if there is chance to have
the side mount kit removed in the future.
KEYTOP LAYOUT
Keytop Replacement
The keypad in KP-300 / KP-300T is organized into 2 parts: a 4 by 4
numerical keypad area and a 4 by 6 matrix minus a 2 by 2 square recess
programmable keypad area. However, this keypad allows some layout
Part 3
alterations by the system integrator. Besides the standard single key installed,
there are double keys and blank keys for purchase to provide more convenient
user interface.
When replacement of keytop is required, it is advisable to use a
flattop (minus sign) screw driver (Do not use the attached key clip for this
operation.) to help getting the key top off gently. Please always first orientate
the key tops as below before inserting any keytop into the case of the keypad.
Failure to do so could result in permanent damage not covered in product
warranty. Please always match the latching tab on bottom stem of keytop with
the tab in guiding hole and gently press the key top down till a click sound is
heard as indicated in the pictures below.

Labeling On Keytop
The programmable keypad is provided with an easy and durable
method for reminding the user of content programmed in each programmable
key. First preprint (or write) in each cell of the attached colored legend sheet
the “name” for each key. Stick each cell to the corresponding keytop and then
put on the transparent key cap from the accessories. In this way, the labeling
will be protected and resistant to scratch or rubbing.
When re-labeling is required, please use the attached key clip to hook
up the transparent key cap and change the label then re-cap.
KEYPAD PROGRAMMING
The programming of the keys above the numerical keypad in KP-300
/ KP-300T is in general the task of the system integrator and not the average
end user. For end user, please go to the chapter of “OPERATION GUIDE” of
this manual directly.
Utility Installation
In the Posiflex Product Information CD attached with KP-300 / KP-
300T, there is a subfolder named as “\Drivers\KP” or please download from
programming utility for KP-300 / KP-300T.
In the above mentioned subfolder please find a further subfolder
“uKBW_xxx” with “xxx” representing any number of the utility revision. This
Part 4
is a Windows utility for the USB interface KP-300 / KP-300T. Execute
“uKBW_xxx\SETUP.EXE” to install the programming utility “uKBW.EXE”
for various editions of Windows OS. After completion of the “Setup”, there
will be a program group “Posiflex Tools” in the program files. Clicking the
program “Posiflex USB Programmable Keyboard” in this group will activate
the uKBW.EXE for KP-300 / KP-300T. Please select the right model when
entering the program if questioned by the program.
Keypad Programming
A normal keyboard may be required for inputting data in keypad
programming. In the command menu of the programming utility, “Keyboard”
=> “Read” or “Write” can be used to transfer the current content in KP-300 /
KP-300T to the program memory or vice versa. “File” => “Open” or “Save”
can be used to edit an existing template file or preserved the current program
content to a template file. “View” command alters the key map page
corresponding to the position of control key. The rightmost column in key map
for Page 1 refers to the answer back codes for the control key.
Right click (or left click to select a key and followed by a “Return”
key of normal keyboard) in the key map starts editing the selected key. Select
another key or press “Down Arrow” of normal keyboard finishes programming
of that key. Remember to “Keyboard” => “Write” or “File” => “Save” before
exiting the program otherwise everything worked will be lost.

Part 5
Hardware Limitation in Programming
In case of “multiple combination key” application which means
pressing three or more keys at the same time to obtain certain data output from
the keypad, there could be some limitations inherent from the nature of keypad
structure. The CPU of keypad detects the contact between the “horizontal” and
“vertical” lines for each key press, recognizes which key is pressed and sends
correspondent data to the host computer. When there are many keys pressed at
the same time, and the pattern of the contacts coincides with some special
relationship, there are chances that the CPU of keyboard be confused about
exactly which keys are pressed. The user may change the locations of the key-
definition to prevent this once such confusion happens.
MSR CONFIGURATION
Please find the subfolder “\Drivers\KP\USBMSR_xxx” in the
Posiflex Product Information CD or DVD or download from our web as
mentioned earlier and execute the “SETUP.EXE” to install the USB MSR
manager under Windows OS. The USB MSR manager can control parameters
like individual track enable/disable, Alt+Num emulation and Start/end sentinel
substitute.
SMART CARD READER DRIVER INSTALLATION
Please find the subfolder “\Drivers\KP\SC200” in the Posiflex
Product Information CD or DVD or download from our web as mentioned
earlier. Execute the “SETUP.EXE” to install the driver into the Windows OS.
The reader is PC/SC 1.0 compliant. The reader is also EMV level 1 compliant.
The smart card reader is also supported by Microsoft CCID generic class
driver.

PROGRAMMABLE KEYPAD
Electronic Control Key
On top right corner of KP-300 / KP-300T, there is an electronic
control key that can be turned to one of the following 6 positions: LP, L0, L1,
L2, L3 and L4. It can only be taken out from the switch at positions L0 and L1.
The purpose of this electronic key serves 3 folds: When the key is switched to
(and extracted from) position L0, the keypad output (excluding the optional
MSR and the optional smart card reader) will be blocked off by hardware to
work as a security measure. A programmable answer back code for the final
position of the 6 position electronic key will be sent by the keypad to the host
computer whenever the key is switched to a new position for a programmable
delay time or when the host computer sends a specific code (E7h) to inquire
the keypad. The position of the electronic key determines which page of the
key content table for the 20 push keys applies, while the definitions of the
same key within different pages can be programmed so absolutely independent
to provide instant menu change over.
This electronic key switch is delivered with a set of 4 pcs of keys,

each marked as “PRG”, “REG”, “Z” and “GT”. The effective range of each of
the 4 keys can be illustrated by the following table and drawing.

Programmable Keys
The multi-page programmable keys can deliver to the host system the
string of keyboard input as programmed. Please note that when the 6 position
electronic control key is turned to a different position, the content of same key
could be completely different. It is also possible to use combination keys if
programmed to. There will be no output of these keys if the control key is
turned to “L0” position.
Numerical Keypad
The numerical keypad is durably pre-marked. When the 6 position
electronic control key is turned to a different position, the content of same key
remains unless it has been programmed in a particular way. The numerical
keypad is not applicable in combination keys. There will be no output of these
keys if the control key is turned to “L0” position.
MAGNETIC STRIPE READER (OPTION)
For magnetic stripe card reading, be sure to insert the card to the
bottom with magnetic stripe facing the mark aside the slot. The movement of
the card can be either inserting the card from the top surface then sliding the
card down out of the slot, or sliding the card upward from the lower side of the
slot till it reaches the top end as long as the card is a standard one. A non-
standard card recorded without complete degaussing prior to recovery may
accept only one direction in card reading.
The magnetic stripe reader in KP-300 / KP-300T connects to the host
through USB port as an USB KB and therefore requires no driver installation
to get it working.
SMART CARD READER (OPTION)
Card Insertion
For smart card reading, please insert the end of the smart chip first
and have the chip facing upward and toward the mark aside the side slot of
KP-300 as in the example picture in front right side view.
Part 8
Applicable Smart Card Type
The smart card reader can be used for both asynchronous and
synchronous type smart cards. For asynchronous type smart card, it reads the
card with T = 0 and T = 1 protocols up to 340 Kbps of EMV and ISO modes.
For synchronous type smart card, coverage includes: 2-wire (SLE4432/42), 3-
wire (SLE4418/28) etc., SDA/I2C, 4403, 4433, 4404, 896
SOUND PORTS (OPTION FOR KP-300 ONLY)
