♦ At the terminal level, debit transactions will follow the same item number sequence as credit
card transactions, i.e. item 001…010, etc., rather than being tracked, printed and displayed as
items 999, 998, 997…etc. as was the convention in Class B.
♦ Track 2 data is always transmitted to the host on swiped transactions. The name is pulled
from track 1 for printing on receipts.
♦ Check reader functionality for Telecheck, Equifax and Rocky Mountain Retail Service check
services.
♦ New Zontalk download parameter (#CODE) that is used to send a bank’s or merchant’s
unique ‘CODE’ to the terminal. This code will then be used by the application to create the
download password within the terminal. The password changes periodically.
♦ A special pre-sale gratuity receipt can be printed
prior
to processing the final credit card sale
amount. THIS WILL BE USED AS AN AID FOR NON-RESTAURANT BUSINESSES LIKE
BEAUTY SALONS THAT ACCEPT TIPS. This feature allows the merchant to print a receipt
that is separate from the actual credit card transaction. The customer may then discreetly
include a tip amount that can be added to the final sales transaction.
♦ Predial capability to reduce transaction time.
♦ Special dial string codes to enable the terminal to dial out under special circumstances such as
multiple terminals on one phone line, multiple phone line systems.
♦ SprintNet Dial protocol add for FDR host connectivity.
