New Elo POS features customer-facing component

MENLO PARK, Calif. — Elo TouchSystems has released its 15D1 All-in-One Touchcomputer, designed for point-of-sale applications, with the ability to accept peripherals for additional uses.

The 15D1, which can be set up to face customers as well as employees, offers a slim, vertical design with a footprint sized to match standard cash drawers. Its motherboard, hard drive and power supply are field-replaceable, enabling rapid replacement and upgrading, to significantly reduce downtime. For customers who require more storage capabilities, a second, 80GB hard drive can easily be added.

Deployers may choose from Windows Embedded for POS (WEPOS), Windows XP or Windows Vista operating systems. True-Flat AccuTouch, IntelliTouch surface acoustic wave and zero-bezel acoustic pulse recognition touch technologies are offered as touchscreen options. The zero-bezel APR, which removes the frame of standard monitors to create a seamless glass surface, allows a virtually 100-percent useable surface area.

Numerous POS peripherals are available to customise the 15D1, such as a perpendicular MSR card reader for easy reach in small spaces, a hand-held bar code scanner, a fingerprint reader, and a customer-facing display. Furthermore, it comes with a range of input/output port connection options to support virtually any POS configuration, and supports third-party peripherals such as cash drawers or printers.

"We actively designed the 15D1 with the end customer in mind," said Elo spokesperson Nadia Vandeweyer in a release. "We're confident the Elo 15D1 POS All-in-One will bring performance, versatility, and functionality to even the most exacting POS applications."
