Axeze Clerk POS Reader USB Interface
Axeze Clerk POS Reader USB Interface
The Axeze KEP range of products are point of sale readers that are compatible with the Axeze Access Control Reader and Reader/Controller products in that the same transponders can be used on all products.
The KEP products are normally used with the wristband transponder and this transponder could be used with KES and KEN Access Control products.
The cables are brought out at the end of the cases to allow the unit to sit on a bench or be attached to the side of a cash register.
The miniKEP range is a small footprint version of the KEP range of readers. All readers in the range are fitted with internal antenna coils.
Mounting
The MiniKEP range of products have the antenna coil in the rear of the unit and optimum read range should not be mounted with the back against a metal surface. The mounting tape supplied with the unit suits mounting the unit on its edge. Ensure the surfaces to be bonded are cleaned with Isopropyl alcohol and then thoroughly dried before applying the bonding tape.

Software:
The KEP Configuration software is used to configure readers with firmware revisions earlier than V4.00 to output the format in the table as per the attached datasheet. Readers with version 4 firmware are for use with the PC Wedge software only and are suitable to use with W/R transponders. This means customers, for a little extra will be able to order tailor made wristbands.
The PC Wedge software is a Windows based program that allows the host PC based terminal to intercept wristband and card data received at a serial port and send it to the keyboard buffer after formatting it to suit the target POS system. The pre-amble and post-amble may use any printable keyboard character (ASCII 32 to 126). The data may be Decimal or Hexadecimal. The delay before a card is repeated is programmable and may be set to 0. The Enter Key may be added as required.
USB Drivers:
The KEP-USB-M requires Virtual Com Port (VCP) drivers to be loaded on the host PC. These are available from the support page of USB chip manufacturers website www.ftdichip.com/FTDrivers.htm.
