POS hardware to buy or rent: printer, scanner, scale

Your whole counter works together

From receipt printer to scale: hardware that talks directly to your Onlinefact POS.

A good till is more than software. It is the scanner that reads every barcode first time, the printer that prints the receipt fast and the cash drawer that opens by itself. Onlinefact works with well-known brands of receipt printers, barcode scanners, scales, label printers and customer displays. The POS software runs on Windows and you operate it with a touchscreen, mouse or scanner. Choose a complete bundle or only the devices you are missing, and buy or rent.

A complete till setup

A typical Onlinefact till has a Windows touchscreen, a receipt printer, a cash drawer, a barcode scanner and a customer display. If you sell by weight, add a scale. A payment terminal completes the setup. All devices are configured in the POS software, so they work together from day one.

Real-life example: A boutique starts with the POS bundle. A year later the owner adds a second till for the sales season. It gets its own printer and scanner but uses the same products, prices and stock.

Receipt printer and cash drawer

The receipt printer prints on an 80 mm roll, with your own header text, VAT breakdown and an optional message at the bottom. The cash drawer is connected through the printer and opens automatically for cash payments. Want it to open on every sale? That is a single setting.

Real-life example: A customer asks for an invoice instead of a receipt. You create it straight from the till. The PDF goes to the Windows default printer, so you can print it on A4 too.

Epson-compatible printers with 42 or 48 characters

Barcode scanners: faster and no typos

With a barcode scanner you check out without typing a single price. Scan the product and its name, price and VAT appear right away, and stock is updated at the same time. A product can have several barcodes, and a multipack barcode (say a crate of 24) automatically counts the right quantity.

Real-life example: A convenience store sells bottles individually and by the crate. Scanning the crate barcode puts 24 units on the receipt and takes 24 out of stock.

Corded or wireless handheld scanners
Fixed counter scanners
USB (keyboard wedge) or serial connection
Scan loyalty cards and gift cards with the same scanner

How it works

From first conversation to your first sale, in four steps.

You tell us what you sell
By the piece, by weight, with or without labels? Then we know which devices you need.
You get a proposal
A bundle or separate devices, to buy or rent. Hardware you already have is kept if it is supported.
Everything is set up
Printer, scanner, scale and terminal are configured per till in the POS software.
You sell
Scan, weigh, take payment and print the receipt: everything works together from day one.

Scale: weigh at the till

Selling cheese, meat, vegetables, nuts or sweets by weight? Connect a scale to your till. With a "Weigh" button the till reads the weight and charges the price per kilo straight away. Tare subtracts the weight of a tub or bag.

Real-life example: In a delicatessen, the assistant puts 320 g of olives in a tub on the scale. The till subtracts the tub and puts 0.320 kg × € 24.90 on the receipt.

Label printers and electronic shelf labels

Print price tags and barcode labels straight from your back office, on A4 sheets or on a label printer. With label templates you choose what goes on the label: name, price, barcode, size or colour. Never want to change prices by hand again? Choose electronic shelf labels: change the price in Onlinefact and it changes on the shelf too.

Real-life example: A clothing store receives a delivery of 60 items. After booking them in, all labels are printed in one go, with size, colour and barcode.

Which hardware do you need?

A guideline. We're happy to put together a package for your business.

Your business	Our advice
Small shop or boutique	POS bundle with touchscreen, receipt printer, barcode scanner and cash drawer
Clothing store	Bundle plus label printer for price tags with size and colour
Bakery, butcher or delicatessen	Bundle plus connected scale
Supermarket or convenience store	Several tills, scanners, scales and optionally electronic shelf labels

Customer display: your customer follows along

On a customer display your customer sees every scanned product and the total. That prevents discussions at the counter. Choose a compact two-line VFD display or a larger LCD screen. You set your own welcome and goodbye message.

Real-life example: On a busy Saturday, the customer sees right away that the 20% discount was applied. Nothing to explain.

Payment terminal and cash machine

The amount goes straight from your till to the payment terminal. Nothing is retyped, so no typos and no cash differences. Lots of cash payments? You can also connect a VNE, Antenor or CashDro cash machine to the till. It counts the money and gives change automatically.

Real-life example: A bakery with many small cash amounts connects a cash machine. Staff no longer handle money and the till balances at closing time.

Buy or rent?

You can buy or rent your POS hardware. Buy, and you pay once and own everything. Rent, and you pay a fixed monthly amount with no big upfront investment. Either way you get the same devices and the same support.

Real-life example: A new shop owner rents the POS bundle in the first year, leaving more budget for opening stock.
