When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

I don't know where the spurious l came from at the end of my answer - finger trouble.
Answer should read: ACCEPTED BY MACHINE
Could also be phrased as
payments accepted by point-of-sale equipment
ATM payments

@Dave: the term ATM has started leading a life of its own and IS being used as a synonym for exactly this; see e.g. http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3650/is_200205/a... and other 'native English' refs. out there

: Sorry Harry, but an ATM is a bank/Post Office cash dispenser - this is for payment i.e. pinpas or chipknip reader connected at point of salewith
