Picture on Touchretail EPOS Till

We get asked a lot about the best way to put pictures of products onto Touchretail EPOS tills – especially fashion EPOS till systems.

It’s a fairly simple thing to do, and there are 3 steps that you take:

1. Save the picture as the Rapidstock Record Number of the product

2. Copy the picture onto a USB memory stick

3. Upload the picture file onto the EPOS till

Picture size

The most important thing to bear in mind is to re-size the picture to the most suitable size for the EPOS screen, before you save the picture. We would normally recommend a size of around 150 pixels wide, and between 120 and 200 pixels high, depending on the aspect of the image. You can use a larger picture size but it would interfere with the EPOS text display. Smaller image sizes would not be easy to see the detail at the till screen.

Picture Source

Many retailers take their own pictures – especially if they are being taken for their website. Alternatively, some manufacturers do have product catalogues with pictures – especially in the furniture store sector. It is possible to provide an automated solution to pick up pictures from your website and populate the EPOS tills, but this requires development work by your website developer, plus a dedicated import module from Touchretail. Most independent retailers prefer the simple (and no cost) method outlined here.

Detailed instructions

Full details of how to edit and copy the pictures are given on the Touchretail website under the Documents section of the Knowledge tab, or you can click on this link to go directly to Product Pictures on EPOS Tills
