Hardware Add on
Options
The following is optional POS hardware
that you may use with Bogart's Video Store
software. All hardware should be obtained
directly from the manufacturer or an
authorized supplier.
|
Cash
Drawer
The
standard way to use a cash drawer
in a POS system is to connect the
drawer to your receipt printer.
Then, the drawer is triggered by
the printer each time a receipt
is printed. We recommend using
the following printer driven cash
drawers, since these are cheaper
and easier to install. (Our
software does support serial cash
drawers as well)
|
|
Epson,
Star, or NCR Printer
Interface
|
Receipt
Printers
Save paper by
printing receipts on small
compact paper. Bogart supports
most Epson and Star receipt
printers. Be sure to order the
Parallel Interface models, as
these are much easier to setup
and maintain. (Our software does
support serial printers as
well)

Barcode
Scanners
Bogart allows
(but do not require) the use of a
barcode scanner for reading
barcodes in all relevant data
input sections of the program.
When connected to your computer,
the scanner decodes the barcode
and passes the information to the
computer in the same way that
keystrokes are received from your
computer's keyboard (identically
to how it would arrive from a
really fast typist)
|
|
Most
keyboard wedge scanners
(Metrologic MS951, ZBA
Alpha-70, Opticon CCD)
|
Digital Camera
(for customer photo
capture)
By
having one installed, you can at
any time take video file photos
of your customers (by just
pressing a key on your keyboard).
Such photos can be quickly
recalled later when you are
processing a particular client,
for positive customer
identification
|
|
Most
good quality web cameras
with USB interface
(Creative, Intel ,
D-Link DSC-350)
|
Modem
Only necessary if
you wish to process phone orders
using the advanced Caller ID
interface.
You
need what is known as "Dial-Up
modem". Do not confuse this modem
type with a "DSL modem", which is
only useful for high-speed
internet services. Also, make
sure that your "Dial-Up modem" is
Serial interface and Caller ID
capable (as not all
are).
