Recycling
Environmental protection does not begin when the time has come to dispose
of the BEETLE; it begins with the manufacturer. This product was designed
according to our internal norm “Environmental conscious product design and
development”.
The modular BEETLE /iPRINT system is manufactured without the use of
CFCs and CCHS and is produced mainly from reusable components and
materials.
The processed plastics can, for the most part, be recycled. Even the pre-
cious metals can be recovered, thus saving energy and costly raw materials.
Please do not stick labels onto plastic case parts. This would help us to
re-use components and material.
At this time, there are still some parts that are not reusable. Wincor Nixdorf
International GmbH guarantees the environmentally safe disposal of these
parts in a Recycling Center, which is certified pursuant to ISO 9001 and
ISO 14001.
So don’t discard your BEETLE /iPRINT system on the garbage when it has
served its time, but take advantage of the environmentally smart, up-to-date
recycling methods!
Please contact your competent branch or the Recycling Center Paderborn
(for European countries) for information on how to return and re-use devices
and disposable materials under the following mail address.

BEETLE /iPRINT – the Modular System
Introduction
The innovative “POS-in-a-printer” product concept of the BEETLE /iPRINT
is a combination of a POS system unit and tried-and-tested thermal
receipt printer. It impresses with a small footprint, a sealed, fanless and
maintenance-free system design, and premium quality. The system has
been designed to offer maximum energy efficiency and ensures extremely
low running costs thanks to power consumption of less than 13 watts in
typical checkout operation.
BEETLE /iPRINT is a dedicated POS system based on the latest mobile
PC technology and has been developed by experts for deployment in
difficult environments where lack of space is the norm. As Operating System
“Microsoft Windows” is available.
Whether a touchscreen or a keyboard/ mouse controlled user interface
depends solely on the software. Peripherals, such as a cash drawer, bar-
code scanner, operator or customer display and payment terminal, can be
configured to suit individual needs.
The sealed, fanless housing de-sign of the BEETLE /iPRINT prevents the
system’s interior from becoming soiled.
The Intel Atom processor, which uses a maximum of 3.6 watts, and the
energy-efficient power supply unit guarantee very low power consumption
and low heat generation.
A conventional 2.5” notebook hard drive or a modern solid state disk can be
chosen as the storage medium. SSDs are purely electrical components and,
unlike hard drives, do not have any moving parts. All these product features
ensure high system availability and lower maintenance and running costs.
The integrated thermal receipt printer is a Wincor Nixdorf premium product
and meets the highest demands. High printing speed, two-color printing, a
large paper capacity, graphics/barcode printing, simple paper replacement
and ESC/POS emulation are just some of its highlights.
