Abstract
A controller of a distributed POS terminal includes a control box frame which stores various hardware components for performing merchandise sales data processing, a top cover which covers an upper face and side faces of a control box frame, and a front cover which covers a front face of the control box frame. The control box frame includes a stepped part at a front portion thereof, such that a front portion of the control box frame is lower than a back portion thereof. When the control box frame is used for the distributed type POS terminal, an additional frame is fixed to the step portion to increase the supporting strength of the top cover. When the control box frame is used for an integrated POS terminal, the stepped part provides a space to place a keyboard.
