Credit Card Scanners

Many retail businesses and restaurants use credit card scanners to get instant approval of credit card purchases. The system allows your credit card scanners to share the lines in your system (as shown in Figure 4-5). You can install a credit card scanner on an extension by itself, or combine it with a system phone or a standard phone on the same extension (see “Combination Extensions” in the PARTNER II Communications System Installation guide).

2.Use Line Assignment (#301) to assign the lines you want the scanner to use to extension X.

3.Set Automatic Extension Privacy (#304) for extension X to Assigned.

4.If the scanner has an auto answer feature, turn it off.

5.For multiple scanners, repeat Steps 1–4 for each extension.
