ABSTRACT:

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention, accordingly, provides a gasoline dispensing system and method according to which a single printer can print receipts for customers dispensing gasoline from both ends of a dispenser. To this end, a printer is mounted in the dispenser unit for printing a receipt for a transaction occurring at one end of the dispensing unit while access is provided to the printed receipt by the customer from the one end of the dispenser unit. Access to the receipt by a customer from the other end of the dispenser unit is prevented.
A major advantage is thus achieved with the assembly and method of the present invention since the costs, complexity and space requirements of two printing assemblies are eliminated. Also, the printing assembly of the present application can use the bezel of a standard printing assembly with little modification. Further, the printing assembly is relatively simple in construction and durable.
