Abstract: An electronic transaction device includes a transaction card reader, which reads information from a transaction card. A language identification component identifies a language preference of a user of the card, based on the information read from the card. A template selection component selects a language template, based on the identified language preference. A user interface generator uses the language template to generate a user interface for display to the user on an associated display device in the preferred language. A user is thus able to select a language for completing a transaction which is not dependent on a location of the electronic transaction device or the card issuer's location.

Abstract: A coin delivery system adapted for use in coin-operated vending machines. The coin delivery system utilizes a temporary holding stack device designed to temporarily hold one or more coins during a transaction, thereby decoupling the coin sorting from the user transaction, whereby the pace of the sorting is avoided for completing verification of the user transaction.

Abstract: An apparatus has an optical scanner generating image signals, and a processor electrically connected to the optical scanner. The processor converts the electrical signals into image data. Also, a printing engine is electrically connected to the processor, and a light guide is positioned between the printing engine and the optical scanner. The optical scanner generates operating condition signals when optically scanning the light guide. The optical scanner transmits the operating condition signals to the processor, and the processor adjusts operations of the printing engine based on the operating condition signals.

Abstract: Systems and methods herein convey a coin that is verified and sorted as to one of a plurality of denominations, by a coin verifier, that sorts the coin to a corresponding one of a plurality of rotating conveyor belts equal in number to the number of denominations. The corresponding one of the plurality of rotating conveyor belts rapidly conveys the sorted coin of one denomination at a constant speed to a drop point disposed above a corresponding one of a plurality of coin storage devices, whereupon the sorted coin of one denomination is dropped into the corresponding one of the plurality of coin storage devices.
