Point of sale enhanced manager/operator override system

摘要

At a point of sale terminal, a biometrics device is coupled to the point of sale terminal to provide for an ability to scan a fingerprint of an authorized operator or manager. Once an authorized fingerprint is scanned, then a series of predetermined commands will automatically be performed within the point of sale terminal to implement the override function required of the manager or operator. The biometrics device replaces the need for a physical key to be used by a manager to access the point of sale terminal, and then also replaces the need for the manager to enter a keying sequence to perform the override function.
