  • Patent number: 8573872
    Abstract: A terminal unit comprising a base unit, in turn including a main body and a scanning device located in front of the main body, and a printing unit, distinct from the base unit, in which the scanning device has a width greater than that of the main body so that it has a lateral portion protruding from the latter, and also in which the base unit has a seat, defined by one edge of the main body and by the protruding portion of the scanning device, so as to removably accommodate the printing unit beside the base unit and behind the scanning device. The terminal unit, in the configuration with base unit and printer side by side, presents a clearance in the transverse direction that is significantly lower than the sum of the transverse clearances of the scanning device and of the printer, and in particular is within preestablished limits, so that the terminal unit can be used to advantage to replace existing terminals quickly and easily.
