1. Introduction:
1.1. Functional description:
BAPS208 is an Auto Pay Station used in BPS2000 parking system. It supports barcode
(Code: 128C) tickets and provides a convenient payment service in a parking facility. In
case of network disconnection, BAPS208 can be operated under stand-alone mode,
off-line data will be saved and then sent back to Central Management Server after
network reconnected.
A color TFT-LCD display and a multimedia speaker provide BAPS208 a user friendly
interface. When a user is detected by a built-in infrared sensor at the front panel of an
Auto Pay station, a display and a vocal message will both prompt the user to insert a
barcode ticket for parking fee calculation. Required payment amount will then be shown
on the display screen and waiting for payment. Both coins and banknotes can be
accepted and gives change if needed. Once the payment is completed, a new barcode
with encoded payment information will be printed on the same ticket and returned to the
driver for exit validation.
