摘要

A method of operating a retail terminal (10) having a core module assembly (12), a single-orientation base assembly, and an alternative multiple-orientation base assembly (18) . The core module assembly (12) is attached to the single-orientation base assembly or to the multiple-orientation base assembly (18). The core module assembly (12) is operated so as to perform retail functions for a first time period while the core module assembly is secured to the single-orientation base assembly and is then detached from the single-orientation base assembly and attached to the alternative multiple-orientation base assembly (18). The core module assembly (12) is then operated so as to perform retail functions for a second time period. <IMAGE>
