15D1 All-in-One Touchcomputer
January 27, 2009
Elo TouchSystems, a Tyco Electronics business, is
introducing the 15D1 All-in-One
Touchcomputer that delivers a versatile, highly functional and elegantly
designed touch screen solution for use in small to medium-sized retail and
hospitality businesses.
The 15D1 represents an evolution in
touchcomputer solutions, explains Gary Sadamori, marketing manager. "Our
customers wanted a small footprint touchcomputer that combined industry-leading
performance with the strong value they know Elo TouchSystems can deliver,
coupled with enhanced field-serviceability and more connectivity options."
Developed from the ground up for
point-of-sale and point-of-service applications, the 15D1 offers a compact,
modern display with a footprint that is sized to match standard cash drawers. A
broad range of POS peripherals is available from Elo — including a
perpendicular MSR card reader for small spaces, a hand-held bar code scanner, a
fingerprint reader, and a customer facing display — to easily customize the
15D1 for customer requirements. Upgrading or adding new functionality to a 15D1
unit is quick and easy because peripherals are field-installable to minimize
downtime. The Elo TouchSystems 15D1 is available with a range of input/output
port connection options to allow virtually any POS configuration and it
supports 3rd party peripherals such as cash drawers and printers.
Serviceability for the 15D1 is easy and
minimizes downtime as the unit's motherboard, hard drive and power supply are
all easily accessible and field-replaceable to enable rapid replacement or
upgrades. For customers who require more storage capabilities, a second, 80
gigabit hard drive can easily be added. The unit's hard drive, cable management
capabilities and spill-resistant housing ensure a long functional life, all at
a competitive price.
"We specifically designed the 15D1
for the small to medium-sized customer," concludes Sadamori. "We're
confident the 15D1 will exceed even our most exacting customers'
expectations."
It is available with either "True-Flat"
AccuTouch, IntelliTouch
surface acoustic wave or "Zero-Bezel"
Acoustic Pulse Recognition (APR) touch technologies. The Zero-Bezel APR screen
provides a virtually 100 percent useable surface area. The zero-bezel design
removes the frame or bezel of standard monitors creating a seamless glass
surface that supports a brilliant touch experience and easier maintenance. Each
unit is available with the Windows Express POS (WEPOS) operating system fully
installed, enabling broad compatibility with peripheral software and drivers.
The 15D1 is also available with Windows XP, Windows Vista, and cash drawer
(OPOS) operating systems.
