Overview:

The Pax S80 and SP30 device provides a small footprint with a large user interface — 128 pixel x 64 pixel LCD with 4 lines of display — for readability and better branding opportunities.

Accept credit cards, pin based debit, EBT, and EMV.

The high-speed processor and large memory support a broad range of payment and value-added applications. The SP30 PIN pad offers options for adding a contactless card reader, magnetic card reader, and IC card reader.
