How do POS Customer Displays Work?

POS Customer Displays are used to show the customer cash register purchase information. The pole display receives data from the POS software running on the connected computer and translates it for the customer. Most pole Customer Displays can also display advertising messages, depending on the Point of Sale system software's capabilities.

Which Customer Display should I Buy?

There are some important factors to consider when deciding which Pole Customer Display you should buy. These factors include specific software requirements & emulation, connection interfaces, aesthetics, and style.

 

Software Requirements and Emulation

When selecting a pole display, it is vital to know what emulation your Point of Sale software supports.

Any pole display models will be compatible with one or more of the following emulations: UTC Standard, UTC Enhanced, EXMAX, Aedex Standard, Epson, or CE-5220. Your POS Systems will require one of these emulations, so be sure to contact your software vendor to find out which emulation your software supports.

 

Connection Interfaces

Traditionally, Serial interfaces are the industry standard, but most pole displays now have USB connectivity options.

Aesthetics
