An opening extends from an inner face through an outer face of panel. A guide is fixed in the opening and made of light-transmitting material. The guide includes an extension extending from a surface thereof A portion of the extension of the guide is located beyond the inner face of the panel. A lighting device is fixed to the panel and includes a lighting unit electrically connected to a main board fixed to the frame.

Abstract: An accounting system for a plurality of automated transaction apparatuses includes a first control unit electrically connected to a computer. A first transmission unit is electrically connected to the first control unit. A second control unit is electrically connected to each automated transaction apparatus. A second transmission unit is electrically connected to each second control unit. Control commands generated by the first control unit are sent to the second transmission units via the first transmission unit. Each second control unit receives one of the control commands and reads the transaction data of one of the automated transaction apparatuses. Each second transmission unit transmits the transaction data of one of the automated transaction apparatuses to the first transmission unit. The first control unit reads the transaction data transmitted to the first transmission unit and sends the transaction data to the computer to proceed with accounting process and to output accounts data.
