are handed to the customer after the payment operation. This is a customer loyalty
system. Catalina Marketing provides the hardware (processor and printer) and
the software. All transaction data (start/end transaction, items, price
changes, customer recordings, payment type positions) are sent to the Catalina
processor via UDP packages when the payment operation is finalised with a
payment type. There are no checks to ensure that the messages do reach
