Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03060832A2] A transaction terminal which may include a secure information entry circuit, an ergonomically designed housing, a signature entry feedback mode assuring accurate signature registration, and at least one imaging module assembly enhancing the terminal performance. The ergonomically designed housing may include a front lip which facilitates easy card reading, a side lip facilitating hand gripping, and a raised region peripheral to a touch screen improving signature registration. An imaging module of the at least one imaging module assembly, in one embodiment, is disposed at rear portion of the housing where it is easily accessed by a cashier. The terminal can be configured so that an imaging module is automatically actuated when an age-proof-required is purchased. A housing ­protruding light pipe can be disposed forward of an imaging module so that attention is drawn to an imaging module when an imaging module is actuated.
