Introduction
The BEETLE /XL is the powerful basic component of your modular POS
system. The BEETLE /XL conforms to the PC/AT industry standard, so you
can add expansions to suit your requirements.
A variety of optional devices are also available, such as scanners for
reading bar codes, swipecard readers for check, credit and customer
cards, a monitor, and various keyboards, cash drawers and scales. You
can also select a printer from the wide range of compatible POS printers.
With the exception of the mass storage media, you connect all peripherals
to the modular POS system externally. This provides you wtih an
extraordinary amount of flexibility when you put together your POS
system.
You can also configure and run the BEETLE /XL using only the external
cashier display; a monitor is not a necessity.
The flexibility of the storage concept of the BEETLE /XL makes it perfect
for the modular system. You can use the BEETLE card, the floppy drive
and, of course, the hard disk as storage media. And strong processors
(80486DX2 or Pentium class) make sure that work with BEETLE /XL is
done quickly.
It is, of course, also possible to install a network card and connect the
BEETLE /XL to a network.
In the event of a power failure the optionally available batteries allow
programs to be terminated normally and data to be saved.
