Symbol Payment Terminals
Software
Symbol has developed FPE, the Forms Processing Engine that allows you to create and download the forms
that appear on terminal screens. You can customize those forms to each retailer’s preferences while
maintaining a single application for all payment terminal customers.
FPE is a C++ application that provides the features necessary for processing transactions and creating a
custom look on the terminal screen. Using standard and custom forms, you can have the look and feel you
want and the functionality you need to deploy applications quickly without having to write a single line of code.
To use FPE, you simply make calls (using the detailed FPE Interface Specification). No payment terminal code
to write means a time savings of 8 to 12 weeks (the typical time to develop in C++). Sample code is available
to handle returned data (such as a signature data block).
Standard functionality of FPE includes:
•
Advertising
•
Signature Capture
•
Customer display showing items
•
Frequent shopper programs
•
Surveys
•
Multiple language

Smart Card
•
Numeric and alpha entry including soft key
