ABSTRACT:
A method of operation is provided of a retail terminal having: a housing; a take away belt having a first end adjacent the housing and a second end remote from the housing; a cover plate positioned over a gap between the housing and the first end of the take away belt; a sensor positioned adjacent the first end of the take away belt; a scale arranged to measure the weight of items placed on the belt; and a controller arranged to control the movement of the take away belt. The method includes the steps of: allowing placement of an item on the take away belt; moving the item away from the housing; detecting the weight of the item, and if a new weight item is detected; moving the item towards the housing, until the item is detected by the sensor, and then moving the item the opposite direction, away from the housing.
