INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing the CD-7220 VFD Customer Pole Display. The CD-7220 provides
both reliability and performance in a sleek looking design. In this guide, you will find
connection and configuration information to help you connect the display to your computer. If
you are a programmer, you will find interface command details to allow you to utilize the
advanced features of the display.
The CD-7220 customer pole display uses a vacuum fluorescent display (VFD) tube presenting
bright and easy to read characters. Because of the VFD technology the display is viewable from
a wide angle. Users will appreciate not having to remain in a fixed viewing position to see the
display, they will be free to move forward in line and still keep the display readable. The CD-
7220 customer pole display has 2 pole sections giving you the choice of 4 different display
heights. The display can be rotated up to 270°=−=the head of the display can tilt by up to 35°.
The combination of these features gives you the flexibility to tailor the display position to your
unique application.
Data can be displayed on a single side (CD-7220) or two sides (CD-7220D) of the display.
You can choose to show the same or different message on the double-sided display. With 2
lines of 20 characters on each side, the CD-7220 can display alphanumeric messages with 13
international characters. Additionally, a software utility is provided to transfer character dot
pattern to ASCII code giving you the ability to define characters and demo messages which can
be stored to the display EEPROM.
The CD7220 customer pole display uses an easy to connect RS-232C serial port connection
with a wide range of communication speeds from 300 to 38,400bps. The CD7220’s pass
through function allows you to connect another serial device by sharing one single serial port
on computer. The CD-7220 also offers a variety of emulation modes including PTC, Epson,
ADM787, ADM788, Aedex, Emax, DSP 800 and Ultimate. The CD-7220’s universal design
gives you the flexibility to choose the application software best suited for your POS
requirements.

A. This interface specification is based on EIA RS232C baud rate 300 to 38400 BPS, 8 data bits, none parity,
1 or more stop bits.
B. Serial port (RS232C) communication data link
Data link flow chart:
(c) CD7220 will activate DTR or RTS signal to PC/host in the following two conditions:
1. Printer will activate DTR or RTS signal.
2. The pass through buffer in CD7220 is full (200 bytes).
* If PC/host keep transmitting the data to printer when CD7220 activate DTR or RTS, the data will be lost.
