there are other possibilities regarding file types. According to Gide Johnsen at Ecovision
(supplies VLT Futurum with the stock quotations) it is possible to deliver the quotations in
several different formats depending of what application the quotations are intended for. The
system “printing out” the quotations sends out items throughout the day regarding important
events et cetera. It does not say if it is possible to get updates on the actual stock quotations
more than once a day.

Payex system is flexible and designed to handle payments for other types of media than the
web. As long as the e-paper terminal is online and able to perform two way communication
during the entire transaction there should not be any problem to use Payex as a payment
service.
