Abstract: A device for use in a checkout area of a self-service store has at least one part operable by electromotive and/or electromechanical operation, the operating arrangement of which is controlled by an electronic control unit, optionally with a manually actuatable operating device which controls the operating arrangement if necessary. The control unit has an interface for receiving and forwarding data existing in electronic form. The data originates both from an electronic checkout located in the checkout area of the self-service store and also from the device itself. The data originating from the checkout via the interface are intended for forwarding to the device and the data originating from the device via the interface are intended for forwarding to the checkout.
