Furthermore, on the customer side a trough is provided, in which another display, a Card readers and a PIN keyboard are used.
  • the arrangement of the controls and indicators on the Top of the flat structure leaves the known terminal ergonomically favorable operation only if Operator and customer occupy the same position both sit or stand. In most applications but the operator sits on one side of one Cashier and the customer is on the other side. The terminal is then at eye level and hand height of the seated Arrange person. The trough with the PIN keyboard on the customer side in front of the operator's eyes protected, but not the operator display the eyes of the customer. In addition, the customer can Observe inputs on the operator keyboard and unauthorized access them, for example around the cash drawer to open. There is also a printer for checks or transfers not mentioned in the publication.
  • From GB 1 565 584 A is a terminal with a customer side and an operator keyboard known between which one on both sides as a display device serving survey is arranged.
