Auto Receipt Cutter
The most troublesome component of any POS terminal is the printer. The auto receipt cutter on the ICE
5000 and 5500 is designed to eliminate the need to manually tear the receipt. The first receipt prints
and cuts, then the second receipt prints and cuts. Users do not have to manually tear the paper from
the terminal, eliminating paper jams.

High-Speed Modem
The ICE 5000 and 5500 terminals incorporate the new Hypercom FastPOS™ 9600 bps modem. While
fully compatible with the current 300, 1200, and 2400 bps modems, the FastPOS modem, when working
with a FastPOS network node, provides 9600 bps throughput for transactions, batches, and software
downloading.

FastPOS uses a new technology to achieve 9600 bps throughput and 0.5 second training times at a
cost that is comparable to the cost of 2400 bps modems.
cost that is comparable to the cost of 2400 bps modems.
FastPOS results in faster transactions and lower transaction costs. For example, at a 5-cents-per-
minute 800 dial rate, with a 1-second billing interval, a FastPOS transaction costs less than 0.5 cents.
More importantly, FastPOS enables large data blocks to be transmitted without a cost penalty. Many of
the new opportunities created by the touch screen of the ICE 5000 or 5500 become more practical when
high-speed communications are available.
