Prior to Programming – Recommended Settings
1. Credit Card Finalization Keys:
There are 2 methods in which to set the system for credit card finalization.
Method-1: For Simplified Operations:
It is possible to provide a single Credit Card key and rely on the processor to itemize the
individual credit card’s totalizer. This is also required when the merchant selects to honor more
than 5 Credit card types.
Method-2: For Detailed Operations:
It is possible to provide a media key for each type of credit card (Max. 5), at the cash register.
Note: Refer to the below table when programming media keys to be used as Credit Cards.
