A system, apparatus, and method for communicating information between a gaming device and a portable electronic device using a multi-functional peripheral device associated with the gaming device are disclosed. Electrical monitoring means, electrically connected to said transducer surface, are adapted to detect said electrical signal as an indication of the presence andor concentration of the ion of interest. The stator has winding wires that are wound therein and are electrically coupled to motor wires. The information scanned is then transmitted to an associated parking system, where it is received by an Exit Express Plug-in application. As a result, the crystal growth rate for the electrolyte onto the sidewall is accelerated. The portable terminal is provided with a display and with a presentation module for presenting data for each of the image processing devices in the form of either a general system status indication or a device status indication regarding a particular image processing device, in accordance with a predetermined presentation scheme.
