BASIC OPERATION
Transaction Keys
The LinkPoint 3000 Restaurant terminal has eleven (11) transaction keys. Seven of these keys are
located directly below the terminal display and are labeled [VOID], [SALE], [ATM/DEBIT],
[REVIEW], [CLOSE], and [RETURN]. The other three transaction keys are located to the right of
the number keys, [
÷
] (REPRINT), [X] (AUTH ONLY), and [-] (TKT ONLY). Additionally, the [+]
key adjacent to the [ENTER] key is used to add tips and close out tabs. These eleven keys are
used to perform the various dedicated standard restaurant 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.
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 9 on Page 8).
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.
Backspace Key
The Backspace Key has multiple functions.
1. To delete an incorrectly entered character.
2. From a menu option (i.e., CARD TYPE, SERVER ID etc.) the [BACKSPACE] key can return
you to the previous menu display.
3. When the Adjust function [+] key is used to edit a tab or tip, but it’s decided that no entry
need be made, use the [BACKSPACE] key to return to the initial menu.
