  • printer module 20 could have a top housing molded with a card slot aligned with that of transaction terminal module 30 rather than having an indented right hand shelf section with a shallow groove receiving a small portion of a transaction card 200 as shown in FIGS. IA and IB.

  • Securing transaction terminal module 30 on the forward mounting platform of the combined base module and printer module could be achieved by providing a simple adapter on the bottom of transaction terminal module 30 to reverse the direction of the slots 73, for example, so that transaction terminal module 30 could mount on platform portion 11 with a backwards sliding movement.
  • the mounting pins 15 could be provided on detented or otherwise locking and sliding tabs accessible from the bottom of the base module.
