A method, apparatus and system are presented for improving a point of sale terminal (100) by reducing the number of items a cashier must pick up and move for scanning during a purchase transaction. The point of sale terminal (100) includes an optical code scanner (110) that identifies an item by reading an optical code (such as a barcode) affixed to or printed on the item. The scanner (110) may further include a weigh scale (270) that weighs items being scanned and a conveyor belt (225) that moves the items across the scanner (110) during the weighing and scanning operations. Moving the items using the conveyor belt (225) reduces the number of items the cashier must pick up and move. |
