Access' AKC range of compact programmable keyboards are exceptionally small and ruggedly built for demanding retail POS applications.
All AKC keyboards are constructed with high quality switches with a rated life of more than 50 million operations. Cool white and dark grey case colours match the industry standard peripherals.
Access provides a configuration service to customise keyboards with special key top layouts, colours and legends.
Access' SoftProg32 Windows configuration software enables users to design their own layouts. Key positions can be programmed to have a single character or a string of characters. Adjacent keys may be combined to make double or quad keys. Keys may also be disabled using a keyswitch lockout cover. A keyboard pass-through port is fitted for system maintenance and programming. Full control of your peripherals can be acheived with a few lines of code using the OPOS compatible drivers and programmers toolkit.

Each key position can be programmed to have a single character or string
of characters including caps lock, num lock, scroll lock, shift, control and alt
conditions. A local shift (or layer 2) function can be enabled on one of the keys. |
The keyboard is programmed with SoftProg, a powerful utility that is
supplied with the keyboard. SoftProg allows you to define and refine your key layout and
clone keyboards before deployment. Once programmed the layout is stored in securely
locked non-volatile memory and will not require reprogramming. |
The ACCESS range of EPOS keyboards are flexible and richly
featured. The keyboard has an optional 2 or 3 track ISO credit card reader, an auxiliary
serial port for connection of barcode or other serial device, wedge connector
for any PS/2 compatible keyboard. For EPOS applications where Chip and PIN

layouts, colours and legends. The keyboard is housed in a robust ABS plastic enclosure and is
ergonomically styled. The premium quality gold cross-point key switches
