Hytec kiosks use a 2 digit kiosk id. 051840 refers to May 1840 (Penny Black). This suggests that these are from the presentation pack stock.<br />Flag issue image has A9GB12 suggesting that the machine is in the UK. Similar comments fro the rest of the office id block. Rest of the data string suggests that it is a kiosk to be used by the public. <br />These are just my guesses and await confirmation.Pmechukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12581011055777888287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-58924422054158534472012-08-27T19:23:47.751+01:002012-08-27T19:23:47.751+01:00PS note there seems to be a difference in the font...PS note there seems to be a difference in the font style.

Office id may actually give location of printing - A=?, 9 = September, NL is the code used for vehicles from Holland, 12 = 2012. The session number is given as 051840 as this represents May 1840 (Penny Black). This suggests that the item may be from a presentation pack. <br />Flag issue:<br />A9GB12 A1-000001-06<br />A9GB12 - mainly as above but with GB signifying UK printing of string. Rest of string compares with what has happened previously with both Hytech and Wincors with the session number changing each time the a new transaction occurs.<br />Of course these are my guesses based on previous experience.Pmechukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12581011055777888287noreply@blogger.com
