Most 2 line poles can be supported but for safest results we recommend you only buying certified devices. Please note that a power source is required for the display.
Display poles besides being required in several jurisdictions provide the customer with a visual of what is being charged and the total for the sale. This gives the customer the opportunity to see the transaction as it is rung up, giving them the chance to verify the actual price with the expected amount, thus preventing any surprises or corrections after the sale has been completed.
The driver for the pole display may not be necessary and may actually prevent the pole display from working.
