The loudspeaker (27) allows different information to be given to the user during the payment and / or order procedure.

According to a configuration of the optical reader (12), the optical reader (12) comprises an antireflection-treated pane comprised in the plane of the door (3a, 3b). The glass is anti-reflective on both sides of the glass. This treatment on both sides avoids reflections caused by the screen of a mobile phone whose display means displays a bar code by example. The anti-reflective treatment on both sides also makes it possible to prevent the reading of a bar or matrix code made by the light aiming plane emitted by at least one LED of the optical reader device from being reflected on the glass, by example. Preferably, the window is a glass pane or any other material that does not scratch under the normal conditions of use of the optical reader device (12). For example, the material used for the glass is a material that does not scratch when objects, such as keys, rub against the glass. The optical reader (12) is managed by an electronic management card (24). The optical reader (12) further comprises an image scanning device (23) connected to the electronic card (24) by a web (22). The angle α between the horizontal axis and the optical axis of the digitizing device (23) is between 5 ° and 15 °, preferably 12 °. Without limitation, the focal length of the digitizing device is between 8 cm and 9 cm, preferably 8.5 cm. In a nonlimiting manner, the length of the optical reader is between 1 1.5 cm and 12.5 cm. The electronic management card (24) comprises a detector (25) which detects the passage of a bar code in front of the glass. The bar code is for example printed on a card or displayed on the display means of a mobile phone or a smartphone. The detector (25) sends an electronic signal to the electronic management card (24) during the passage of a bar code in front of the glass. The electronic management card (24) can then send a command signal to the scanning device (23) to light up after the electrical signal has been sent by the detector (25). The connection pad (24a) of the electronic card (24) and the connection pad (23a) of the digitizing device (23) are located in such a way that they are as close as possible to the same vertical plane of such so that the sheet (22) is as short as possible. Thus, this prevents the web (22) which connects the electronic card (24) to the scanning device (23) to have a folding assembly which allows the connection between the pads (23a, 24a) when the two studs are not arranged close enough. Therefore, the optical drive (12) can be more compact and have a shorter length than usual optical drives.

The compactness of the optical reader (12) makes it possible to put vis-à-vis, for a terminal (0), devices installed in the box. For example, an optical reader (12) is installed in the second opening of a door and a reader (13) of bank cards is installed vis-à-vis in the third opening of the other door. The length of a reader (13) bank cards is generally 15 cm to 20 cm for example. The compactness of the optical reader (12) allows the optical reader (12) to be vis-à-vis the credit card reader (13) without their being struck when the two doors (3a, 3b) are closed. In addition, the angle α between the horizontal axis and the optical axis of the digitizing device (23) is between 5 ° and 15 °, preferably 12 °. This makes it possible to configure the formwork of the optical reader (12) in such a way that it is possible to pass the reader (13) of bank cards under the optical reader (12) when the two doors (3a, 3b) are closed. The thickness of the box is minimized according to the dimensions of the optical reader and the bank card reader.

The terminal (0) also comprises a system of latches (20) electronic that control at least the opening and closing of the doors (3a, 3b).

The electronic latch system (20) comprises at least one electronic card comprising a processor and a memory zone.

The key detector (28) is connected to the processor of the electronic card. The electronic key detector (28) is, for example, an iButton probe with encryption or without encryption. For example, the terminal (0) comprises a detector (28) of keys for each door. For example, the key detector (s) (28) are fixed on the lower part of the terminal (0) under the frame (1).

The keeper system (20) comprises at least one electronic strike (20) for each door (3a, 3b). The electronic strike (20) is connected to the processor of the electronic card. For example, each door (3a, 3b) comprises two electronic strikers (20) fixed on the opposite side to the side where are located the hinges (19) for opening and closing the doors (3a, 3b). At least one other electronic striker (20) is installed for the drawer including the printing device (15). This electronic strike (20) is also connected to the processor of the electronic card,

The abutment then abuts on the element (53) retaining. The abutment is, for example, a loop or node formed at the second end (50b) of the cable or a stop element fixed to the second end (50b) of the cable and of diameter greater than the diameter of the passage. The retaining element (53) is fixed in the vicinity of a first hole (55) made in the casing to allow a person authorized access of the second end (50b) of the cable (50) from the outside through the first (55) hole. The second end (50b) of the cable also comprises a gripping element for gripping the second end (50b) of the cable by an instrument. The stop may also play the role of the input element. For example, the stop may be a loop that can play the role of the input element and the instrument can then be a hook adapted to hang the loop to pull the cable (50).

The emergency opening system also comprises at least one sheath (51) rigid for guiding the cable (50) in the box between the first end (50a) and the second end (50b). The cable (50) is inserted into the sheath (51). This sheath (51) isolates the cable (50) from anything that may be inside the box that could prevent the proper functioning of the emergency opening system. The sheath (51) can be fixed to the box by one or more attachment means so that the sheath (51) is stationary relative to the box. The sheath (51) is made of a rigid material such as stainless steel, aluminum or any metal or material rigid enough not to deform when the cable is pulled by a person. The sheath (51) may be for example plastic.

The emergency opening system may also include a coil spring (52) attached at a first end (50a) to the trigger lever (54) and at the second end (50b) to a first end of the sheath (51).
