EuroReady Products: IBM considers an IBM product to be EuroReady if the product, when used in accordance with its associated documentation, is capable of correctly processing monetary data in the euro denomination and of respecting the euro currency formatting conventions (including the euro sign). This assumes that all other products (for example, hardware, software, and firmware) that are used with this product are also EuroReady. IBM hardware products that are EuroReady may or may not have an engraved euro sign key on their keyboards. Currently, EuroReady status applies primarily to IBM products specific to the EMU countries. Products that are not specific to these countries are deemed to be “not ready” for euro unless otherwise stated in the product′s country-specific specifications. EuroReady Solutions: IBM considers a solution to be EuroReady when the solution providers have: • Analyzed the euro requirements, including the need to comply with relevant EC rules • Built in appropriate function IBM has introduced two new models of the popular IBM 4694 POS System: Model 106 and Model 146. They and can clearly demonstrate this by: provide equivalent performance to Models 104 and 144, but include an updated processor and embedded chip set. • Detailing euro related requirements With these new models, IBM continues to provide an • affordable POS solution for general merchandise, grocery, Describing how these will be implemented in the and specialty retailer customers worldwide who want to solution run on IBM 4690 OS or DOS platforms.
