June 22, 2001 at 10:34 AM EDT

ATLANTA, June 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Offering retailers more options for providing checkout convenience to shoppers, NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR) today announced the NCR Self-Checkout A-Series, the newest member of its award- winning self-service solutions portfolio.

The NCR Self-Checkout A-Series is designed so shoppers with any size orders -- from a few items to a full shopping cart -- can easily scan, bag and pay for their own purchases. With an available 77-inch input conveyor belt, the A-Series provides ample space for shoppers to unload groceries or merchandise as they begin the self-checkout process.

In addition to the input belt, the A-Series features an expanded bagging area that holds up to three full bags of groceries. Retailers can also order the system with a 12-inch input shelf instead of the belt.

"The A-Series is a logical evolution of the NCR Self-Checkout family," said Mike Webster, general manager of NCR's Self-Checkout business unit. "We have leveraged our proven design philosophy, which includes providing configuration flexibility so retailers can address their unique store requirements such as throughput, order size and floor space."

NCR's self-checkout systems offer a low profile with an unobstructed view for consumers and store employees. The components needed to complete a transaction are designed to be intuitive and easily accessible by all shoppers.

"The 'scan, bag and pay' design of our self-checkout family has been validated by NCR's retail industry customers and their shoppers," Webster added. "This efficient process minimizes the number of times an item must be handled, helping keep queues shorter and shoppers happier."
