ABSTRACT:
A transaction terminal (2) which incorporates a control unit (4) for controlling the operation of the terminal. Terminal operation is monitored by a plurality of sensors (110-116) in communication with the control unit (4). The control unit (4) can access data characteristic of predetermined acceptable terminal operation and the outputs of the sensors (110-116) are compared with said data. The control means (4) is adapted to alter terminal operation in dependence on the output of the sensors (110-116) so as to compensate for any variation from the acceptable terminal operation. The sensors (110-116) also include additional sensors (118,120) arranged to monitor ambient environmental conditions, and the control unit (4) is arranged to alter terminal operation dependent on changes in the ambient environmental conditions as detected by the additional sensors (118,120).
