Performing a swipe transaction
1. From the ready screen, enter the transaction total, then press the enter (green) key.
2. Run the cardholder’s card down the magnetic swipe slot and then quickly swipe it. The
magnetic stripe of the card must be facing towards the terminal.
3. The terminal will print a receipt asking or the customer’s signature.
4. Check that the cardholder’s signature matches the one on the back of their card.
5. Once the receipt is signed a customer copy receipt will also be printed.
Hints and Tips
Charging
We recommend that you place the terminal on charge when you finish your shift so that it is
ready to use the next time you work. You can use your in-car charger, however, this should not
be used exclusively to charge your terminal.
Receipts
Never pass the merchant copy receipt to the customer. If required a duplicate customer copy
receipt can be printed from the main menu (up arrow key).
You must store all your merchant copy receipts for a minimum period of 18 months. This is
important as we may be asked to produce these receipts later to verify a transaction.
Printing
The thermal paper used will only print on one side. Therefore, if you have inserted the paper roll
incorrectly you will not get a printout from your terminal. If you have inserted the paper roll
incorrectly simply remove it, turn it around and then replace correctly.
