NCR RealPOS 70

In high-volume retailing environments, the NCR RealPOS 70 delivers exceptional value, performance and functionality in a modular solution. In addition to support for several NCR-built printers, keyboards, displays and cash drawers, new technologies such as biometrics and support for numerous operating systems are also available.

Blackboard-built POS Terminals

Used as a cash register or general POS terminal, the MaxiWedge, MidiWedge and MiniWedge are low-profile countertop POS terminals with an integrated card reader featuring full product control, cash accountability, tender method flexibility and reporting capabilities. Their rugged metal construction makes them tamper and abuse resistant—perfect for high-traffic environments. Each model features a spill-resistant flush keypad, a 2x20 character fluorescent display and detachable cords.

Keypads are user-definable based on time schedules. Seven separate keyboards can be configured and downloaded for use. Keyboard overlays can be replaced quickly and easily.

A unique feature of these terminals is PermaMemory—a mechanism that provides protection against communications loss by storing up to 10,000 transactions in an offline mode (5,000 for MiniWedge). The stored transactions are automatically uploaded when the terminal returns to an online mode. Integrated power loss protection ensures that stored transactions, configurations and menus are retained in memory. When power is restored, the terminal becomes fully operational in less than 30 seconds with no operator intervention.

The MaxiWedge and MidiWedge support up to 2,000 price look-ups (PLUs) while the MiniWedge supports up to 500 PLUs.
