POS is a system designed to complete retail transactions. Its purpose is to allow customers to pay retailers in exchange for goods or services. The computerized POS system used in the catering and hotel services industry includes registers, computer calculations and peripheral devices, usually connected to a computer network, and used in restaurants, beauty salons or hotels. Like other POS systems, this system keeps track of sales, workload and wages, and provides records for accounting and bookkeeping. Given these functions of the POS machine, the display screen that is compatible with it also needs to meet certain requirements.
Displays suitable for POS (Point of Sale) machines need to meet specific requirements to ensure their efficient and reliable use in a commercial environment. Here are some key features and considerations for POS displays:
1. Size and resolution: POS displays are usually small, with common sizes ranging from 7 to 15 inches. The resolution does not need to be too high, usually between 800x600 and 1280x1024.
2. Touchscreen functionality: Most modern POS machines are equipped with a touchscreen for easy operation. Touchscreen technology can be resistive, capacitive, or infrared. Capacitive touchscreens are generally more durable and more responsive.
3. Brightness and contrast: Since POS machines are often used in bright environments, the display needs to have high brightness and contrast to ensure that the content can still be clearly displayed under strong light.
4. Durability: POS displays need to withstand frequent use and occasional collisions. Durable display materials and designs can extend the life of the device.
5. Dust and water resistance: In some environments, POS displays may be exposed to dust or liquids. Dust and water resistance designs (such as IP ratings) can improve the reliability of the device.
6. Interfaces and compatibility: POS displays need to be compatible with other hardware devices, such as cash registers, printers, barcode scanners, etc. Common interfaces include USB, RS232, VGA, and HDMI.
7. Energy-saving design: Energy-saving display can reduce energy consumption and reduce operating costs, especially for POS machines that run for a long time.
8. Easy to clean: POS machine displays need to be cleaned regularly to maintain hygiene and good display effects. Easy-to-clean design (such as flat surface and wipe-resistant materials) is very important.
