Rep Power: 0 | helios hardware I think Helios is making most of their profit in the hardware they force salon owners to buy from them. I highly disagree with this practice of forcing salon owners to buy hardware from a software company. $300 for a keyboard with a CC switch is ludicrous. I am about to switch from Suntouch (POS / aka piece of *****) to Helios 12 and want to capitalize on using the integrated CC and EFT processing. Does anyone have RECENT experience using OTHER receipt or keyboards with credit card swipes? In general I am interested in hearing your experiences good or bad with using non-helios branded hardware.

Rep Power: 19 | Re: helios hardware The keyboard with the swipe is the only thing that I found that had to be bought from them. I'm not sure why though. I'm using Version 11 though, so not sure if anything else would be a problem with V12.

Rep Power: 0 | Re: helios hardware I have Helios 11 installed on 5 systems, none of them use the hardware that Helios sells. I do not use the integrated keyboard/cc swipe but have separate cc swipes and they work fine. For UPC barcode scanners, I have a mix of USB scanners and keyboard wedge scanners and the only issue I have had is using them on one newer box that I downgraded to XP Pro and it XP Pro is no longer supported by the manufacturer so it is not a Helios related issue. |
