THE PRODUCT

The Posiflex range of HT-2212 Pro terminals have been designed and
manufactured to meet the high-end demand on POS systems. It incorporates all
the advances of PC technology within a rugged housing designed for use in a
hostile retail environment. By providing an integrated design, it has retained
many of the secure features of a traditional ECR and has avoided the wiring
“spaghetti” associated with more traditional PC solutions. This Open Standard
Architecture ensures that this terminal can use the PC application software and
development tools that are now inexpensively available and abundant.

The terminal is powered by most up to date CPU and provides a color
TFT LCD screen with a resistive type touch control panel on sturdy and easily
adjustable structure on top of the main unit. It may be used as a self-content
unit or as one of several terminals in a network system controlled by a “back
office” computer through the integrated network interface. The HT-2212 Pro
system is delivered with a CR port with status sensibility for controlling 1 or 2
Posiflex printer drive type cash drawers, 6 modern USB ports and the most
advanced UPS functions to safeguard the POS operation against intermittent
power failure with an option UPS battery, careless touch on the power switch,
and to support unmanned remote account consolidation operation, etc..
Versatile options besides the basic model selection can apply to it too.

An optional integrated unit of MSR and/or Finger print sensor can be
installed in the HT-2212 Pro system. The HT-2212 Pro system also provides
an optional CF memory card slot.
