Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0617388A2] A retail terminal has a housing (34) including a front cash till portion (30) with a lid (36) hinged to the housing (34), a keypad (20) being mounted on the lid (36). The terminal employs a flexible circuit (46) instead of a printed circuit board to facilitate mounting the keypad (20) on the lid (36). A rear portion (44) of the housing (34) contains a controller (12) connected to the keypad (20) by the flexible circuit (46), a liquid crystal display (14) coupled to the controller (12), and receipt and journal printers (16) coupled to the controller (12). The terminal may also include a circuit (24) for wirelessly communicating with a host system (22), and a solar panel and battery means for remote operations. <IMAGE>
