The Keypad and Key Functions
Transactions are performed via the terminal’s keypad (See Figure 10). The keypad allows users to
select transaction types and enter information. The three green arrow keys are an updated
feature on the LinkPoint 3000. This change assists both the merchant and the Help Desk when
processing transactions, printing reports, and troubleshooting.

Entering Alphanumeric Data from the Keypad
The LinkPoint 3000 keypad has 30 keys that can be used to enter as many as 47 different
alphanumeric characters (please see chart on next page). To enter numbers and special characters
(i.e., +) simply press the appropriate key. Alpha characters can be entered in one of two modes:
single or locked. The “single” mode is selected by pressing the [ALPHA] key once followed by
the corresponding character key. For example, to enter the letter “A” press [ALPHA] [A]. The
“locked” mode is selected by pressing the [ALPHA] key twice followed by the corresponding
character keys. For example, to enter the word “LINKPOINT” press [ALPHA] [ALPHA] [L] [I]
[N] [K] [P] [O] [I] [N] [T]. To release the “locked” upper case mode, press the [ALPHA] key once.
