The Bixolon BCD-1000 vacuum fluorescent customer pole display is black in color, can adjust in height, has a serial cable to connect to the host system, and can be used at a checkout to display prices or other messages to customers. The BCD-1000's dot-matrix display panel can show up to two lines of text, with up to 20 characters per line, including commas and decimal points. Messages can be programmed and set to scroll automatically to provide information to customers. The display panel can be rotated and the viewing angle can be adjusted up to 52 degrees to any of five positions for readability. A telescopic pole allows the display to be adjusted in height from 179 to 533 mm. The serial cable can be connected to the serial port of a computer, printer, or host system (sold separately) to transmit data. A switch on the bottom of the display panel can be used to turn the display on or off. Mounting holes enable the base to be mounted to a counter or desk. The 5-24V DC power supply can be plugged into an electrical outlet to power the display. This product measures 231 x 105 mm (W x D). (W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.) It can adjust in height from 179 to 533 mm (the vertical distance from lowest to highest point). For a complete set of product specifications, please see the manufacturer's brochure.

Receipt printers can be used to print receipts, labels, tags, and other similarly sized media at point of sale (POS) locations. Direct thermal receipt printers and thermal transfer receipt printers use heat instead of ink to print on coated thermal media. Impact and dot-matrix printers are suitable for printing on multi-part paper, such as receipts with customer and merchant copies. Some POS receipt printers can print in two colors to help draw attention to particular words or messages on the receipt. A parallel, serial, or USB port allows a receipt printer to be connected to a computer. An Ethernet port or wireless capabilities may enable it to be connected to a computer network. Receipt printers can be used at retail checkout counters and other points of sale.

Bixolon manufactures point-of-sale (POS) printers, label printers, mobile printers, peripherals, and accessories. The company, founded in 2002, is headquartered in Seongnam, South Korea.
