Alternatively, you can connect flat screens. 
 
You can 
 

 

use  various  types  of  scanners  such  as  distance,  touch  or  stationary 
scanners, 

 

 

use  scales  and  scanner  scales  (please  take  into  account  the  official 
certification regulations),

use POS keyboards, 

 

 

use different types of cash drawers (

via printer’s cash drawer port

 

 

connect a monitor, 

 

 

integrate the BEETLE /i8A in a network and

This means that the BEETLE /i8A can meet your requirements at all times, 
without having to exchange the complete system for a new one, thus saving 
you time and money.
