how to install HP POS Keyboard

To install the HP USB POS Keyboard, simply connect the USB cable to an available USB port on your POS terminal or computer. Allow the system to recognize the device, and then open your POS software to begin mapping the 28 configurable keys to the functions you use most often. Create a dedicated profile for your cashier workflow, ensuring that common actions—such as opening the cash drawer, applying discounts, voiding items, or printing receipts—are one keystroke away.
