ENU-BASED OPERATION
The terminal operates as a menu driven system. Messages and menu options
presented on the LCD display screen guide the user’s actions. The desired
menu option is selected by pressing one of the screen keys located to the left
and right of the display. For the purpose of security many screens time-out
after a preset time interval, usually 30 seconds. The time-out length may
vary depending on the function being performed.
When a screen time-out occurs, a screen is presented which asks the user if
more time is needed. If the user chooses NO, the Customer Welcome screen
will be presented. If YES is chosen, the user is returned to the function that
was active prior to the time-out. If the user does not make a selection within
an additional 30-second countdown period the terminal will automatically
go to the Customer Welcome screen.
When the unit is turned on, the dispenser will beep once and the Top Menu,
shown in Figure 1, will appear on the display screen after a few seconds.
From the Top Menu, you can either:
1.) Activate the terminal to perform customer transactions by pressing the
key next to CUSTOMER TRANSACTIONS.
2.) Enter the terminal system management area by pressing the key next
to MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS.
