1. A settlement device, comprising:
a reading component configured to read a symbol attached to a commodity;
a packing component located near the reading component and configured to pack the commodity, the symbol of which is read by the reading component;
a measuring device configured to measure the packed commodity;
a light emitting component provided in a recess formed at a customer facing intersection between a horizontal plane of the packing component and a vertical plane of the packing component, wherein the light emitting component is angled obliquely in the recess to be in a visual field of a user identity using the settlement device, and wherein the light emitting component is recessed into the recess to be level with at least the horizontal plane of the packing component and the vertical plane of the packing component;
a determining component configured to determine, using data of weight measured by the measuring device, whether the commodity, the symbol of which is read by the reading component, is packed; and
light-emission controller, if the determining component determines that the commodity, the symbol of which is read by the reading component, is packed, configured to cause the light emitting component to emit light in a first form and, if the determining component determines that the commodity, the symbol of which is read by the reading component, is not packed, configured to cause the light emitting component to emit light in a second form different from the first form.
