BASIC OPERATION
Transaction Keys
The LinkPoint 3000 has ten (10) transaction keys. Seven of these keys are located directly below
the terminal display and are labeled [VOID], [SALE], [ATM/DEBIT], [CHECK], [REVIEW],
[CLOSE] and [RETURN]. The other three transaction keys are located to the right of the
numbered keys, the [÷] (PRINT) key, [x] (AUTH ONLY) key and the [-] (OFFLINE) key. These ten
keys are used to perform the various dedicated standard retail transactions. Transactions can be
initiated any time the terminal is in the idle state (i.e., displays the READY message).
1. Check the display for the READY message. If it is not displayed, press [CLEAR] to cancel the
current operation and display the READY message.
2. Press the desired transaction key to begin the transaction.
3. Follow the instructions given by the prompts on the display panel to complete the
transaction.
4. Press [CLEAR] to return to the READY message when the transaction is completed (the
terminal is programmed to return to idle in one minute).
Using The Cardreader
1. Check the display for the READY message. If it is not displayed, wait until the current
operation has ended and then press [CLEAR] to return to the READY message.
2. Initiate the correct transaction type (i.e., press [SALE] to initiate a sale).
3. Insert the credit or debit card into the rear of the cardreader slot with the magnetic stripe
facing down and away from the keypad (see Figure 7 on page 9).
4. Slide the card through the slot without stopping. If the terminal beeps, check the position of
the magnetic stripe and slide the card through the slot again. If the beep persists, the card
may be damaged. Type the account number directly on the keypad.
5. Complete the transaction by following the display messages.
The Calculator
The LinkPoint 3000 includes a built-in calculator capable of performing simple arithmetic
calculations. To access the calculator, from the idle prompt (READY message) press the desired
numeral and associated math symbols and press [ENTER] to obtain the result. For example, to
calculate the result of the sum of two plus two, press [2] [+] [2] [ENTER] and the terminal will
display the sum, in this case “4.” For a decimal point, please press the [*] key.
