BlueStar Distributes Cherry POS Qwerty LPOS Keyboard Line

Florence, KY—October 28, 2007—BlueStar, the leading innovator in solutions-based distribution for Auto ID, Point-of-Sale, Mobility and RFID products, is announcing it is distributing the new POS Qwerty LPOS Series keyboard line from Cherry Electrical Products.

Cherry’s LPOS keyboards are fully programmable and provide uncompromised alphanumeric data entry. They offer plug-and-play configuration for all common POS features and unique function enhancement via “Cherry Tools” virtual programming. The “Cherry Tools” software also allows for quick product set-up and program configuration, including remote installation. As with all Cherry POS keyboards, the new LPOS product line is fully compatible with Microsoft’s WEPOS operating system.

LPOS keyboards are available with or without a 3-track Magnetic Stripe Reader (MSR) and High-Resolution Touchpad. They also feature 42 re-legendable keys for easy layout configuration and quick function calls. In addition, Cherry’s LPOS keyboards offer free programmability of all key positions in three layers and feature a rubber mat/membrane keyswitch design that withstands up to 25 million key actuations while maintaining an IP-54 rating for spill and dust resistance.

“The LPOS keyboard is part of our new POS family, which includes SPOS. The LPOS is a full-size very durable keyboard with several different layout options,” says Dave Michielli, Marketing Manager for Cherry Electrical Products.

“The new LPOS series will be a great addition to BlueStar’s line-up of keyboards because it has all of the features of a POS keyboard with the added value of a commercial keyboard,” says Mark Fraker, BlueStar’s VP of Marketing.
