MEI Introduces Retail�s First Cash Acceptor Application Program Interface
at KioskCom� 2002

CD-ROM toolkit drastically speeds integration of cash acceptors into PC-based kiosks and other automated retail applications

WEST CHESTER, Pa. � MEI, the world�s leading developer of electronic cash payment systems, introduces the MEI Cash Acceptor Application Program Interface (API) � a first-of-its-kind resource for integrating cash acceptors into PC-based kiosks, self-checkout systems, and other unattended points-of-sale. MEI developed this CD-based toolkit in response to the retail industry�s demand for a rapid method of integrating cash acceptors into retail applications. The MEI API provides all the information that professional software developers and systems integrators need to reduce cash integration by time up to 75%.

The API is ideal for integrating MEI cash acceptors, including the AE2600, Series 3000, and ZT1207, into PC-based applications using MEI�s EBDS (Extended Bi-Directional Serial) protocol over standard serial interfaces. Specifically, the API provides:

- Instructions on how to program the host/controller software to recognize cash acceptors

- Explanation of cash acceptor protocol and interface specifications

- Relevant DLLs with a program example demo

- Ability to download new bill sets

- MEI�s complete interface manual in Adobe� Acrobat� format

- Access to MEI�s global technical support network

�Our goal is to help customers get their kiosks out into the field as quickly as possible, where they can start generating retail sales dollars, and this product does just that,� said Otto Lohse, Industry Market Manager for MEI�s Retail Division. �This CD-ROM is a valuable resource, slashing cash acceptor integration time from weeks to a matter of days. MEI functions as an integration partner, assisting them with every phase from concept to deployment �

MEI will be exhibiting the Cash Acceptor API along with its full line of cash acceptor products for kiosks at Booth #504, KioskCom 2002 in Orlando, Florida, March 4-7.
