FUNCTIONAL TEST  
For testing purposes, your KB5000 keyboard was pre-programmed with a  
template called KB5000.tpl. Shown at the end of this section is the KB5000  
keyboard with the pre-programmed information for each key. The following  
simple steps will verify that the KB5000 is in good working condition:  
1. Follow the Hardware Connections procedure described earlier in  
this manual to connect the KB5000 to your computer.  
2. Turn on your computer.  
3. At the DOS prompt, press the upper left key of the keyboard.  
4. The keyboard is working correctly when the words “LOGIC  
CONTROLS PROGRAMMABLE KEYBOARD, MODEL KB5000”  
appears on the monitor. To verify if the other keys are working  
simply press each key and verify that the information displayed  
on the monitor matches the template shown at the end of this  
section. To help you understand how to program the keyboard  
with special function keys the arrow keys have been programmed  
with their actual codes. Therefore they will not display information  
when depressed at a DOS prompt. However, when you enter the  
programming utility and select the KB5000.tpl template and select  
those keys, the correct programming information will be present.  
5. To verify if the magnetic stripe reader is working correctly in a  
KB5000M model, hold a credit card with the magnetic stripe at the  
bottom and facing the arrow mark. Slide the card through the  
reader slot. Make sure the bottom card edge is continuously  
touching and gliding along the reader slot surface. The recorded  
data from the credit card will automatically be displayed at the DOS  
prompt.  
6. To verify if a KB5000R (RS232 model) is working properly, it will  
be necessary to use a communications program. Set the protocol  
of the communications program to 9600 baud, no parity, and 8  
data bits. Press the upper left key on the keyboard and verify that  
“LOGIC CONTROLS PROGRAMMABLE KEYBOARD, MODEL  
KB5000” is present.

UTILITY DISK CONTENTS  
All KB5000 keyboards come with a utility software disk. This disk  
contains several important files:  
KB5D.EXE -  
KB5000.TPL -  
DL5.COM -  
Use this utility with or without the keyboard being  
attached. It is used to program the keyboard.  
For a complete description of how this program  
works see the section “Programming the KB5000  
keyboard”.  
This template was pre-programmed into the  
keyboard and matches the legend shown on the  
previous page. If you have any questions on how to  
program a particular key you can refer back to this  
template to see how it was originally programmed.  
This utility program allows you to download a stored  
template without entering the KB5.EXE utility  
program. Simply add the KB5 directory to the path  
statement of the autoexec.bat file. When you want  
to change the stored program simply type the  
download command plus the file you want to write  
into the keyboard. For example, to download a file  
called lunch, you would type DL5 LUNCH.TPL and  
press ENTER. The download program will take  
approximately 7 seconds to over-write the existing  
legend file and install the lunch file.  
README.DOC - This document contains the latest information  
which may not be included in the manual.

INSTALLING THE KB5D.EXE UTILITY PROGRAM  
The first step in using the KB5.EXE utility program is to copy the  
program to your hard drive.  
1. Insert the KB5 utility software into drive A or B.  
2. Type MD KB5 at the “C>“ prompt to make a directory named KB5.  
3. Type CD KB5 to make the KB5 directory active.  
4. Type COPY A:*.* If the disk was inserted into drive A then all files  
will be copied into the hard drive’s directory (KB5). If drive B is used  
then you must type COPY B:*.*  
STARTING THE KB5D.EXE PROGRAM  
This program can be used with or without the keyboard being attached to the  
computer. Note that the PC must be booted up in DOS before starting  
the program. It will not run properly under Windows DOS prompt.

PROGRAMMING THE KB5000 KEYBOARD  
The following procedure will show you how to program the KB5000  
with standard (keyboard) alphanumeric characters. The keyboard  
can be programmed with either ASCII or Scan code information. The  
default mode is the ASCII code mode. The following procedure  
assumes both a KB5000 keyboard and a 101 keyboard are attached.  
NOTE:  
To run this program you must exit windows completely.  
Do not shell out from Windows.  
1. With the correct programming graphics present. Select the cell  
you want to program by using the arrow keys on the 101 keyboard.  
The Up and Down arrows will select the row while the Shift and  
either the Right or Left arrow key will select the column.  
2. Enter your programming text via the 101 keyboard. Continue  
programming until all the keys are programmed. It is not necessary  
to program all the keys for the KB5000 to function properly. The  
maximum number of alphanumeric characters that can be  
programmed for any one key is limited only by the memory left.  
NOTE:  
The maximum number of alphanumeric characters that  
can be programmed per standard keyboard is 1856.

ADVANCED PROGRAMMING  
The KB5000 POS keyboard can be programmed with all special control and  
function keys such as the Shift, Ctrl, Alt, F1 through F12, and the up/down/  
left/right arrow keys. The procedure to program these special keys is shown  
below:  
1. Start the KB5 utility program.  
2. Select the cell to be programmed. Press F8 to enter the scan-  
code mode. The “code type” information changes from ASCII to  
SCAN.  
NOTE: The scan-code mode will only be active for this cell. You must  
select F8 for each cell you want to program with scan-code  
information.  
3. Under the scan-code mode, each alphanumeric character is  
enclosed in parenthesis. For special function or control keys, press  
ESC (three vertical bars will be present) followed by the special  
function or control key you want to program.  
For example, to program the INS (insert) key, press ESC and  
then the INS key on the 101 keyboard. To program the ESC key,  
simply press the ESC key twice. Special function and control  
keys will not appear inside parenthesis. The three vertical bars  
will disappear once the special function key is depressed.  
4. You may return to the start-up graphic screen (short menu) by  
pressing Ctrl-Alt-F4 again.  
NOTES:  
1) Special function keys require ESC as the leading code. In the scan-code mode, you  
can view the symbol of the special key or the hex code equivalent of the special key. To  
view, simply press F7 to toggle between symbol and hex modes.  
2) Once a special function key (shift, ctrl, alt, etc.) is programmed it may be necessary to  
un-select the function. To do so, press in sequence ESC, f (lower case F), 0 (zero),  
ESC, followed by the special function key (shift, ctrl alt, etc.)  
3) Any given programmable location may be toggled between scan-code mode and ASCII-  
code mode. Pressing the F8 key on the keyboard will change the cell’s programming  
mode to scan-code mode. Pressing F9 on the keyboard will change the cell’s programming  
mode to ASCII-code mode. Changing modes in a cell that has been previously  
programmed will erase all the information in that cell.  
4) To enter hex scan-codes directly, press ESC followed by the 2-digit hex number. For  
example, to program the CTRL key press ESC followed by 1D. The KB5 program will  
add the leading zero.

SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE KB5000  
Besides being able to program all the keys of an IBM101 keyboard, the  
KB5000 has also incorporated three state-of-the-art features which will  
add flexibility and functionality to the keyboard.  
INTER-STRING DELAY  
This feature allows for a time delay(s) to be installed after a character(s)  
has been inserted into a cell. To use this feature follow the steps below:  
1. Enter the character(s) which will precede the delay. For  
example, ABC.  
2. Depress and hold the ALT key while pressing the letter D. A time  
delay screen will open asking for the amount of delay you require  
(up to 240 seconds). Select the appropriate delay and press  
ENTER. A square pixel will appear on the programming line  
immediately following the last character typed.  
3. Type the next character(s), DEF. You can use more than one  
delay per cell and each delay time can be different.  
4. Save the template and then write the template to the keyboard.  
5. Exit the KB5 program by pressing F10 followed by the letter Y.  
6. Press the location key where the time delay character has been  
stored. The monitor will display ABC immediately. After the delay  
time you entered for this key has expired, DEF will be displayed on  
the monitor and the cursor will be present at the prompt.  
13  
 
MULTI-LEVEL DEFINITION  
This feature can increase the apparent number of programmablekeys by  
allowing you to program different levels into any cell. For every  
different level you program you must select another key to be a “SHIFT  
LEVELkey. Programming is accomplished in the normal manner. After  
programming the base level a separator bar must be entered to separate  
the base level from the second level. You can program more than  
two levels per cell. For example, if you needed to program small coffee,  
medium coffee, and large coffee into one cell follow the procedure  
outlined below:  
1. Select a blank cell (L11) and enter the most common coffee first  
(medium coffee). Mark the legend sheet for this cell COFFEE.  
2. Enter the separator bar by depressing and holding the ALT key  
and pressing the letter S. A solid line will appear on the  
programming line immediately following the last character typed.  
3. Enter the second level (small coffee) followed by another  
separator.  
4. Enter the third level of information (large coffee). The entire  
programming line should look like the following:  
L11  
MEDIUM COFFEE SMALL COFFEE LARGE COFFEE  
5. Select a blank location (L14) to become the first level shift  
position. Mark the legend sheet for this location SMALL.  
6. Change the programming mode of this cell to scan-code mode  
(F8). Depress and hold the ALT key while pressing the letter A.  
A triangle inside brackets (< >) will appear on the programming  
line. This key when depressed and held will activate all keys that  
have a second level.  
7. Select another blank location (L15). This will become the second  
level shift position (will activate the third level of information). Mark  
the legend sheet for this position LARGE.  
14  
 
8. Change the programming mode of this cell to the scan-code mode  
(F8). Depress and hold the ALT key while depressing the letter A  
twice. Two triangles inside brackets will appear on the programming  
line.  
9. To use this feature in your application is extremely simple. When  
medium coffee is desired just press the L11 key (the first level of  
information stored in cell L11 will be sent to the computer). When  
a small coffee is desired press and hold the L14 key while pressing  
the L11 key (the second level of information stored in cell L11 will  
be sent to the computer). When a large coffee is desired press  
and hold the L15 key while pressing the L11 key (the third level of  
information stored in cell L11 will be sent to the computer)  
NOTE: There is no preset limit to the number of levels that can be  
programmed into a keyboard.  
15  
 
SELF PROGRAMMING  
To use this feature the KB5 directory must be added to the path statement  
of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. This feature is extremely helpful for  
applications where the keyboard files are changing on a regular basis.  
A programming location must be reserved on each keyboard in order  
to perform the self programming function.  
1. Select the key location to contain the self programming  
information (R51).  
2. The information to be entered into this location will be the down  
load command plus the name of the file to be loaded into the key  
board. For example, if you want to change from a breakfast menu  
to a lunch menu the R51 location in the breakfast file can be  
programmed as follows:  
R51  
DL5 LUNCH.TPL  
3. To change to the lunch menu simply press R51. The download  
program will load the lunch menu into the keyboard.  
16  
 
SPECIAL CONFIGURATIONS  
The KB5000 can be set up with many different programming options. To  
activate the configuration menu screen the KB5 program must first be placed  
into the extended menu (Ctrl, Alt, F4). Press F3 to open the configuration  
screen. By depressing the highlighted letter in each option the program  
will enable or disable that option. The default settings are shown in the
