Description
This identification reader, also called i-Button, is the version of the SAGA Dallas reader adapted to the JOA touchscreen point of sale terminal. It takes the form of a magnetic ring which, on contact with a magnetic Dallas key, identifies the user and opens their checkout session: each cashier or server logs in within a second, with no password to type. The reader fits into the side of the terminal with an internal connection directly to the motherboard, then is secured with two screws, so that no cable protrudes from the installation. Like its counterpart for the OVA range, it exists in USB communication or as a virtual COM port, depending on the needs of the point of sale software. This option is added to the JOA in the same way as the integrated printer or the customer display, and it is covered by a one-year return to workshop warranty.

Use and tips
This reader is especially useful in restaurants and bars, where several servers take turns on the same JOA terminal, as well as in stores that want to track transactions by cashier. Plan for one Dallas key per user and have the reader installed when the terminal is configured, since the connection is internal. Check that your point of sale software supports Dallas key identification and choose the USB or virtual COM version accordingly.
