In France, it is called a TPV (Terminal Point De Vente) but I don't know in English, and as a teacher I'm always expected to know the answer. It is not an ATM (Automated Teller Machine), which is a cashmachine for a bank. What I'm looking for it the electronic device, in which you insert your credit card, followed by your confidential code to make a payment in a shop or hotel. Perhaps, someone can also give me the name of the manual device used to make a credit card imprint in a hotel. Thanks a million.

I believe the machines are more properly known as EPoS (electronic point of sale) machines. Chip and pin refers to the system of using a pin number instead of a signature.
I don't know about the manual card imprinter - the only time I've ever used one I referred to it as the "credit card thingy", which for all I know may be the proper name!

KEYPAD
or
Chip & Pin Terminal
The other is a Card or Manual Imprinter.

Do you mean the old machines where they put a triple receipt in and then your card and "swiped" them? That's the only thing I can think of and I believe they are obsolete now.

Chip and pin. It's rather alarming that you as a teacher didn't know that given all the publicity about them when they were first introduced.
