PARIS -- Bull is upgrading its range of small cash dispensers, inaugurated with the successful Minicash, and will be unveiling its newest offer, TwinCash, at the Cartes'98 exhibition, to be held in Paris October 27-29.
The same size as its predecessor, but more powerful and comfortable to use, TwinCash also offers a more attractive price/performance ratio.
With a built-in PC Pentium, TwinCash can accommodate applications
requiring a large memory capacity, such as graphics and color animations, while at the same time reducing running and maintenance costs. Its small footprint also keeps down the cost of real estate. Its bright 10" LCD color screen, wide keyboard, LED indicators for customer guidance, and ease of access for the disabled all contribute to providing a high level of comfort, convenience and ease of use.
The smallest dispenser on the market
With its footprint of 0.2 sq. m (2.15 sq. ft.) TwinCash is ideal for
cramped environments, whether in bank branches or other customer
contact locations, and in a stand-alone "island of automation" or
through-the-wall configuration.
Delivered standard with two note cassettes (240 mm capacity), TwinCash is the ideal convenience banking machine for busy and popular environments.
Security
Enclosed by side panels on both sides of the screen, and equipped with a horizontal, centrally placed keyboard, TwinCash offers users a high level of security and confidentiality. Also, the lockable reject box
holds cards that have been forgotten by the customer or stopped.
