What is the exact english term for bonificateur? I was wondering whether it could be some kind of a discount machine. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks.

The context........L’impression du code à barre s’effectue par un appareil (bonificateur) mis à disposition chez des commerçants désirant offrir à leur clientèle une remise sur le montant de leur stationnement

bar code printer

Explanation:
Better to reword, e.g. the parking validation barcode is printed by a device provided to merchants . . .
The term to get right here is (at least in the US) "validated parking". A barcode printer is a barcode printer; AFAIK, there is no widely used term for one used specifically for this purpose.
