STANDARD KEY OPERATIONS
Terminal transactions are common, unprotected transactions that all personnel can perform.
These transactions include Dine In, Take Out, Bar Tab, ATM/Debit Sale (optional), Return,
Authorization Only, Ticket Only, Void, Review, Close Batch, and Reprint.
The LinkPoint 3000 READY message estimates the number of transactions that can be performed
before the batch is full. For example, READY 30 indicates there is space to store 30 more
transactions in the current batch. Overflowing the terminal with transactions can compromise the
data’s integrity.
When the memory is full, the READY message displays “BATCH FULL-PLS CLOSE” and no
further transactions can be stored until the batch is closed and the memory is cleared from the
terminal. There is a safety feature that advises the merchant to close the batch when the batch is
almost full.
The procedures for each transaction type include most optional prompts. The options are
designated with the note “(
optional
)” directly below the displayed message. Depending on the
user’s needs, they might be enabled or disabled.
