Abstract
An attendant-controlled terminal, operating under the control of a conventional microprocessor, monitors and controls remote fuel pumping units, combines fuel sale information with information concerning additional sales keyboarded by the attendant, accepts customer account information recorded on a credit card, verifies that the identified account is in good standing, and prints a credit card receipt for signature by the customer, the receipt being printed in an optically-readable format compatible with conventional automated invoice processing equipment.
