6. Site Preparation
One 110VAC power outlet within 4’ of the installed All In One Printer
Internet connection jack in close proximity of the All In One Printer
configured as the Server unit.
7. All In One Printer
The All In One printer (AIO) prints reward coupons and other consumer related
promotional documents. It does not replace the Point of Sale (POS) register receipt
printer. Nor is it installed directly as a configurable / controllable peripheral of the POS.
However, each AIO will be associated with a particular POS device. The AIO will
normally be installed with one or more Data Monitor (DM) devices. The Data Monitor
devices will be configured to capture data from the POS journal or receipt printer port.
Generally capturing transaction data from the journal printer port is more advantageous
because it does not require a printed receipt for each transaction. If the journal port
option is not available, then transaction data must be captured from the POS receipt
printer port and a receipt must be printed for each transaction.
In addition, a DM will be used to capture product UPC data from the POS Barcode
Scanner Port.
Some POS systems provide a Loyalty Port which provides transaction data to external
devices such as the All In One printer. Depending on the particular application, the AIO
installation may include a connection to the POS Loyalty Port.
Multiple AIO units may be installed at a retail location. However, one AIO unit will
normally be configured as an AIO Server unit. The AIO Server will be configured to
connect to the internet. All other AIO units will communicate to the AIO Server in order
to send and receive data from the Program Data Center Network.
AIO Installation Manual Page 6
8. Installation Procedures
Place the AIO unit on the checkout counter adjacent to the POS to which it will be
associated.
Ensure that the keypad panel on the front of the All In One Printer and the paper chute
are visible and easily accessible by the consumer. Positioning the All In One Printer in
this manner is necessary for proper access and usage by the consumer.
8.1. Connect the Data Monitor Devices
The AIO unit reads, or captures, transaction information from the POS journal printer or
receipt printer port via a Data Monitor (DM). There are two types of supported Data
Monitor devices; a Serial Port Monitor and a Parallel Port Monitor.
Each Data Monitor is installed between the POS and a POS peripheral such as the POS
journal printer, receipt printer or the POS Barcode Scanner.
The Serial Port DM requires configuration specific dipswitch settings to appropriately
communicate with the AIO unit; the Parallel DM does not.
8.2. Parallel Port Data Monitor Connection to the POS journal or
receipt printer port
NOTE: No transactions should be entered during the connection of any Data Port
Monitor device. Please inform the manager before proceeding.
1. Disconnect the printer cable from the back of the POS.
2. Connect this cable to appropriate port (in most cases this will be the port
shown as the Front View) of the Parallel Printer transaction monitor.
3. Connect the provided DB-25 cable from the Parallel DM to the receipt port of
the POS.
4. Connect one 14’ Cat5 cable from the Parallel DM RJ-45 port to the DM 1
connection on the back of the AIO.

Appendix C. A roll of paper is provided in the box with every AIO unit.
Open the paper compartment by pressing down on the compartment latch button located
on the left side of the paper compartment door.
Insert the paper roll with the paper feeding over the top of the roll.
AIO Installation Manual Page 10
Note: There is an illustration on the inside of the paper compartment door showing
how the paper should be loaded.
10. Turn On the All In One
The AIO unit does not require a dedicated/isolated ground outlet. However, the electrical
service should be suitable for the installation of computer based electronic equipment.
The All In One unit consist of two major components; the printer and the electronics
base. Thus turning on the AIO requires turning on both the printer and the electronics
base.
Therefore turning on the AIO unit is a three step process:
1. Turn the AIO printer power switch to the on position. The printer power (on/off)
switch is located on the printer’s right side as you are facing it. This power
switch only controls power to the printer. It does not provide power to the All In
One electronics in the base of the unit.
2. Connect the provided AIO power supply to the AIO Power port on the back
connection panel of the unit.
3. Connect the AIO power supply to the electrical outlet.
Note: Turning the power switch on the side of the printer on and off does not cycle
power to the AIO electronics base. Cycling power to the electronics base requires
disconnecting the AIO power supply from the electrical out.
11. Configure the All In One
The AIO has several configuration items which may require setting. Setting these item
values is accomplished by placing the AIO unit into the “Configuration Mode” using the
keypad at the unit’s base.
The keypad consists of 5 keys each of which has a corresponding L.E.D. light.
Depending on the on the customer branding, some of the keys may not be printed on the
keypad. However, the five L.E.D. lights should always be visible.
Appendix D provides a keypad template which may be cutout and used as an overlay if
the keys are not printed.
Starting from left to right, this manual refers to the keys with the following letters: P, C,
S, R, Y.
AIO Installation Manual Page 11
11.1. Enter All In One Configuration Mode
To enter the Configuration Mode, simultaneously press and hold both the P and C keys
for 2 seconds and then release both.
The AIO unit will then enter the Configuration Mode and print the current “Basic
Configuration” values as seen below:
The letters at the beginning of each item represent the keyboard keys.
To change one of the item values, press the 1st key then the 2nd key to select the item. In
this manual we will refer to these 1st and 2nd key combinations as #/#; for example C/C.
After pressing the indicated keys, additional status and instruction messages will print.
Using the example above to change the Volume level, press P/R or the “P” key followed
by the “R” key. Then follow the printed directions.
To exit the Configuration Mode press P/P or the “P” key followed by the “P” key again.
AIO Installation Manual Page 12
Note: Upon exiting the Configuration Mode after making a change, the AIO will
always recycle and print the Basic Configuration. If no operational configuration
change was made, the AIO will not reset and the Basic Configuration will not print.
11.2. Configure the Unit Mode
The All In One printer operates in one of two available Unit Modes; Server or Remote.
The Server mode allows the AIO to connect to the Internet and act as an internet access
server for other AIO units which operate as Remote units.
AIO units operating in the Remote mode do not connect directly to the Internet and must
connect to an AIO operating in the Server Mode.
Only one AIO unit should be configured to operate in the Server mode per site. That unit
will be referred to in this manual as the AIO Server.
The Unit Mode values are:
Server Mode = “1”
Remote Mode = “2”
After entering the Configuration Mode, set the Unit Mode item value, pressing the “C”
key followed by the “C” key again. And then follow the printed directions.
11.3. Configure the Unit ID number
Configuration of the AIO requires setting the printer’s Unit ID #. The AIO server unit
must always be configured as Unit ID number “1”.
If more than one AIO unit is installed at the site, the additional units must be installed as
Unit ID number “2” and up.
To set the Unit ID item, press C/S or the “C” Key followed by the “S” key and then
follow the printed directions.
Note: By default setting the Unit Mode to “1” will set the Unit ID number to “1”.
Setting the Unit Mode to “2” will set the Unit ID to “2”. If more than one AIO unit is
set to the Remote Mode then the Unit ID must be manually incremented. For example,
if there are 3 AIO units at a site, the 2nd AIO set to Unit Mode “2” would need to be
set to Unit ID number “3”.
AIO Installation Manual Page 13
11.4. Configure the Unit Group
The Unit Group item must be set the same for all wireless ONI loyalty devices at the site
including all of the AIO unit units and the Touch Point units installed on any dispensers.
The Unit Group defines the wireless channel that all of the devices will use to
communicate with one another. You may think of the Unit Group as a channel on a
Citizen Band (CB) radio.
Because the wireless range of the equipment is up to one mile, the Unit Group number
may need to be changed in order not to conflict with other sites using wireless ONI
loyalty equipment.
Consult with the ONI service group at 1-800-371-1118 to determine if there may be other
conflicting sites in the area.
To set the Unit Group item, press C/R or the “C” Key followed by the “R” key and then
follow the printed directions.
11.5. Configure the Demo Mode
The Demo Mode item allows the unit to be placed in one of several demonstration
modes. This value should be left at “0”.
11.6. Configure the Num Units
The “Num Units” item must be set for the AIO Server unit. The Number of Units value
should equal the total number of AIO units installed at the site including the server unit.
To set the Num Units item, press C/P or the “C” Key followed by the “P” key and then
follow the printed directions.
11.7. Configure the Internet Connection Settings
One All In Printer at each location must be configured with the Unit Mode set to “1” or
Server mode. And that unit must be configured to access the Internet.
The AIO unit can be configured to use either Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) or a fixed Internet Protocol (IP) address.
When an AIO unit is configured for Unit Mode “1”, the Use DHCP configuration item
will automatically be set to “1” which means it will use DHCP. It will by default be
ready to connect to the Internet using DHCP. If DHCP is appropriate for the Internet
service at the site no further Internet options need to be configured.
AIO Installation Manual Page 14
The Use DHCP values are:
Do not use DHCP = “0”
Use DHCP = “1”
To set the Use DHCP item value to “0” meaning do not use DHCP”, press S/C or the “S”
key followed by the “C” key and then follow the printed directions.
11.8. Configure Static IP settings
If the Internet service at the site requires a static IP address and the Use DHCP item has
been configured to “0”. Then it will be necessary to set the IP address, Subnet Mask,
Gateway and DNS values per the Internet Service provider’s requirements.
Press the appropriate Menu keys (#/#) to select the item and then follow the printed
instructions.

11.9. Configure the Site ID number
All In One units set to Mode “1” or Server Mode, must have the Site ID number
configured.
AIO Installation Manual Page 15
The unique Site ID number identifies each server and the location where it is installed.
The Site ID consists of the following characters: ZZZZZTTTT1
Where ZZZZZ = the Site’s Zip Code
Where TTTT = the last four digits of the sites main voice telephone line
Where 1 = the number 1
For example if the site’s Zip Code is 12345 and the main voice telephone number is 757-
853-3000, the Site ID would be 1234530001.
(Use this table as a place to write the required configuration information)
