The device (10) includes a housing (12) having a clamping assembly for releasably clamping the housing (12) to a pushing bar of a shopping cart (18 ). The housing (12) defines an interior region supporting device electronics. T he device (10) further includes an interactive touch sensitive visual display screen (14) and a retractable, tethered dataform reader (22) releasably mounted on the housing (12). When mounted on the housing (12), an imaging assembly and an illumination assembly of the reader (22) are continuously actuated to read a dataform (30) presented to the reader (22). When removed from the housing (12), the reader (22) is actuated by depressing a trigger o n the reader (22). The device (10) also includes a magnetic stripe reading assembly and communications circuitry including a radio transceiver module.< /SDOAB>
