The assembly may also include an arm joint attaching the movable arm to the base, and a pivot joint attaching the pivotable display device to the movable arm.

In some examples, a device for applying an operating mode to a point of sale (POS) peripheral device can include a non-transitory machine readable medium storing instructions executable by a processing resource to detect a peripheral device, access a configuration file based on the detected peripheral device, wherein the configuration file includes a plurality of operating modes associated with the detected peripheral device, and apply one of the plurality of operating modes to the detected peripheral device.

An example product identification and weighing apparatus for use with a POS terminal includes a weigh platter; a scale configured to measure a weight of the item when placed on the weigh platter; an off-platter detection assembly configured to detect an off-platter condition; a product identification assembly configured to identify the item; a communication interface configured to communicate with the POS terminal; a processor in communication with the scale, the off-platter detection assembly, and the communication interface; and a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the object recognition and weighing apparatus to, responsive to detecting the off-platter condition, prevent a transmission of the identified item to the POS terminal until the off-platter condition is no longer detected.

A money handling apparatus that handles money includes an inlet for taking in money; a money storing unit that stores therein the money; an outlet for dispensing the money; a money transport unit that transports the money between the inlet and the outlet, and the money storing unit; a money recognition unit that is provided to the transport unit and recognizes the money; a check receiving port for receiving a check; a scanner that scans the check to acquire a check image; a check transport unit that transports the check between the check receiving port and the scanner; a check recognition unit that recognizes check information that includes at least a check amount from the check image acquired by the scanner; and a control unit that dispenses money equivalent to an amount of difference between a transaction amount acquired from outside the money handling apparatus and a sum of the check amount and an amount of the deposited money.

In accordance with one embodiment, a commodity sales data processing apparatus comprises a stationary type docking station with a storage module, and a portable information terminal which is attached to and detached from the docking station freely. The information terminal receives an input of data relating to the sales of a commodity to process the received data, and stores the data required to take over the processing in the storage module of the docking station Then the information terminal successively executes, if the information terminal is attached to the docking station, the processing by referring to the data stored in the storage module of the docking station.

Power can be supplied to a smart device without affecting control of a cash drawer. A printer 1 capable of connecting to a smart device 2 and a cash drawer 3 has a wireless communicator 16 for communicating with the smart device 2, a drawer kick connector 18 that connects to the drawer 3, a power circuit 14, and a controller 11. When a command instructing control of the drawer 3 is received from the smart device 2 by the wireless communicator 16, the controller 11 stops the supply of power from the power circuit 14 to the smart device 2; and when control of the drawer 3 ends, the controller 11 starts supplying power to the smart device 2.
