Operating mode
The store network can consist of a mixture of label and receipt machines.
Vendors may be logged on to more than one machine and 'float' between machines to
serve customers anywhere in the store.
Receipt printing machines will
•
totalise transactions
•
print a counter receipt
•
print a sales receipt where the vendor receives payment for the goods.
Counter receipts are redeemed at a Point of Sale (PoS) machine or checkout for
payment.
Label machines will
•
print labels
•
consolidate the transactions at the checkout or PoS machine.
Other PoS machines within the store will complete transactions and generate sales
receipts for any purchases at those machines.
For example, cigarettes purchased at the tobacco kiosk.
