Description

Embodiments of the present invention relate to fixtures for peripheral equipment. Peripheral devices connected to the sales data processing unit include, for example, printers, payment terminals, and scanners. If these peripheral devices are distributed, it becomes difficult to secure space for operation or bagging, and the peripheral devices may unintentionally move during operation, resulting in reduced usability. On the other hand, if the peripheral devices are completely fixed or not distributed, they cannot be moved or their orientation changed, reducing flexibility.
