Touch-Screen Display

The ICE 5700 terminal is built around a graphic touch-screen that provides a high degree of flexibility and an intuitive user environment. Additionally, the graphics screen can deliver advertising and other promotional messages directly to the consumer.

The easy-to-operate nature of the touch-screen reduces the need for cashier training. It allows trouble- free operation by consumers in the PIN pad and signature capture pad modes. It also allows the support of complex new applications such as loyalty, which on a traditional terminal requires many keystrokes and long transaction entry times.

For operation in dimly lit environments such as restaurants, the screen is equipped with a backlight.

The standard configuration for the ICE 5700 terminal includes a 1.7 inch by 2.7 inch graphic dot matrix touch screen that is capable of character, graphics, and signature display. While in character mode, the display resolution is 160 pixels by 80 pixels. The character display has 10 lines with 26 characters for each line. Graphic keys displayed on the screen initiate most functions.

NOTE: This display is configurable.
