10K120 Interface Connections The 10K120 interface consists of electronics enclosed in a small plastic case with two cable assemblies. NCR 2127 register connection • The connector11 on the 10K120 interface single cable assembly plugs into a mating connector on NCR 2127. Connect to any of the six available mating sockets on the back panel of the register. See the attached 2127 Register Back View picture.

There are many settings in the 2127 register that can affect receipt appearance and print positioning. They allow the receipt appearance to be tailored to individual preferences. See the three 2127 register manuals mentioned above for more detail on receipt customization.
Customize the 10K120 Interface The 10K120 interface is customized with special PLU items. The items are entered into the 2127 using a PLU maintenance file. There are two sets of maintenance files, one set for those 2127 systems set up for 20 character PLU descriptors and one set for those 2127 systems set up for 12 to 19 character PLU descriptors. Use only the set that matches your systems PLU descriptor length. The procedure to install either set is the same.
• Press the Enter key again. The 2127 should indicate MMM communications and the printer should print a message showing "27 applied 0 failed". Create Department 100 If “Dept Not Found” or a related message appeared when the last step above was performed or when the configuration labels are entered in the next section, then Department 100 will have to be temporarily created. Follow the next steps to do this: • At the Enter Action Code prompt, enter 113.
Set the 10K120 Interface Options See the options in the section below. • The 10K120 options can now be set by scanning the supplied bar codes. • If the 2127 register does not have a scanner, manually enter the bar code PLU numbers via the keyboard. Configure and Customize the 10K120 Interface There are 27 option and command items that can be set or controlled. See the following table. The normal procedures to ring up an item also apply to these configuration items.
