Why your POS may be the wrong way round

POS terminals running on Microsoft Windows have a feature that allows you to rotate the screen using a keyboard shortcut.

If you find that your screen is sideways or upside down, it's most likely that the keyboard shortcut has been pressed by accident. (CTRL + ALT + Left, Right or Down keys will rotate the display sideways or upside down). It may look like this.

What to do if your screen is sideways or up-side down

To rotate the screen back to normal, press the key combination of:

[CTRL] + [ALT] + [Up Arrow]

This will return the screen to it's normal upright orientation.
