4. Specification
This chapter informs you about the features, the technical data
and the intended use of Mini II.
Mini II is a stationary POS system that consists of two compo-
nents: the stationary POS system and the power supply Vectron
PS60/PS61 with a power cord.
4.1. Mini II POS system
Mini II is a stationary POS system, which you can also use
without network connection.
The two housing parts of Mini II consist of anthracite
plastic with a chrome-plated metal frame. A metal hinge
connects the two housing parts. The design of the upper
housing parts prevents splash water and crumbs from
penetrating.
The hinge between display- and keyboard housing allows
tilting the display vertically in order to adjust it to your
field of vision.
Via the touch screen you enter data like bookings with your
finger or the touch pen. You can also enter data by press-
ing the keys of the flat keyboard.
A brightness sensor in the keyboard housing meters the
illuminance and controls the display brightness.
An operator lock is mounted to the keyboard housing of
Mini II. With the appropriate operator key you log in to
Mini II. Your Vectron dealer should have configured the
operator lock for you.

20
POS MINI II
The keyboard housing of Mini II has a compartment for
Vectron specialist dealer information, to which your
Vectron dealer should have inserted a card with contact
information.
In a network you can configure the Mini II as client or as
server. A client sends for example data to a server, which
manages the POS systems network and processes the
received data.
Your Vectron dealer can integrate the Mini II via network
interface to a POS system network, so that the Mini II can
receive data via the network and send data to other POS
systems.
A loudspeaker is integrated to the display housing of
Mini II. Mini II uses sounds to inform you about received
messages, which were sent e.g. by a ServiceCall. Please
ask your Vectron dealer to configure the sounds for you.
At the bottom of Mini II you find a bracket with ports. In
addition to the internal loudspeaker you can connect ste-
reo loudspeakers to the audio port.
The six USB- and six serial ports at the bottom serve for
connecting external devices like e.g. printers, customer
displays and scanners. At the left side of Mini II there are
two more USB ports for connecting e.g. an USB stick or a
USB keyboard.
Mini II provides two ports to which you can connect cash
drawers. By means of a Y-cable you can connect up to four
cash drawers.
Mini II has a cache and a flash memory. In case of power
failure, the cache, where data is stored during operation
of the Mini II, is supplied with power by means of a buffer
battery. After switching off the Mini II data is stored in the
flash memory.
