1-4 Chapter 1: Overview
Wedge Controller
The Wedge controller consists of a microcontroller and associated
circuitry that permits (via a “PC standard” keyboard interface) the
Touch Screen LCD to support the following peripheral devices:
• MSR - a three-track ISO or two-track JIS (optional)
• Speaker
The controller logically connects these devices in series with a standard
PC keyboard. The retail workstation or PC interprets the data flow as
keyboard input. For more information on the Wedge, refer to the NCR
Wedge Software User’s Guide, BD20-1368-B. The 5964 includes support
for a decoded RS-232 scanner.
Speaker
The 5964 includes its own built-in speaker controlled by the wedge
controller only.
External Standard PC Keyboard Connector
Because the 5964 does not have alphanumeric keys, a standard PC
keyboard can be connected externally to the 5964 whenever keyboard
input is required
