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).

To Use

When you make a call on the credit card scanner, an outside line is automatically selected. If you combine the credit card scanner with a system phone or standard phone, you cannot use the phone while the credit card scanner is operating. You can use only one of the devices at a time.

To Program

1.If extension X is a key extension, use Line Assignment (#301) to assign the lines you want the scanner to use to extension X.

If extension X is a pooled extension, use Pool Extension Assignment (#314) to assign the pools you want the scanner to use to extension X. Also use

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

2.Set Automatic Line Selection for extension X to select the pools and outside lines that the scanner is to use.

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

4.Make sure extension X is not assigned as a Call Waiting (#316) extension.

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

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