Overview of the
MX800 Series
Terminal
The MX800 Series offers customers the opportunity to efficiently mix terminals
within the same store or chain of stores–saving time and money on
implementation, maintenance, and training. The MX870, MX860, MX850, and
MX830 share the following:
• Architecture — Linux, similar printed circuit boards, many of the same
applications.
• Upgrade modules — Terminals in different locations can be equipped with
different modules, as needed. Built-in upgradability protects investment,
allowing stores to adapt to changing trends.
• Multifunction connector — Accepts all available cables, reduces cost by
simplifying implementation and allowing cable upgrades.
• Mounting stands and wedges — Share the same keyhole pattern for secure
mounting.
• Footprint and “look and feel” — Offers consistency and simplifies training.
Modular Design
MX800 Series terminals offer outstanding flexibility due to their modular design.
Modules that can be added include contactless smart cards that use radio
frequency identification (RFID) based on ISO 14443 standards.
