PIN Pad Setup

Simple Explanation: This window allows you to set up a PIN Pad for
accepting debit transactions. If you do not have a PIN Pad installed on your
machine, leave this window set to its default setting (as shown below, with
NONE selected) and skip ahead to the next section, Touch Screen Setup (see
page 96).
( Note: If you plan to process debit card transactions, you'll need to have a card
reader and PIN Pad connected to your computer.
1. Click Setup on the menu bar. Click the Devices option. Click the Pin Pad option.
2. Review the Tested PIN Pads table (at the end of this PIN Pad Setup section) to
determine if there are any special settings recommended for your PIN pad.
3. Click the small drop-down arrow button to the right of the PIN Pad field. Select the PIN
Pad that you'll use with PCCharge. Depending on the PIN Pad selected, you may not
need to set up all (or any) of the following fields.
• Click the small drop-down arrow button to the right of the Com Port field. Select
the COM port of the PIN pad that you'll use with PCCharge. Most users can
select Port(Com1), but some users may have plugged the device into port 2
and should select Port(Com2).
• Select the baud appropriate for your PIN pad (the default value is 1200). This
information should be provided by your device's documentation.
• Notice the default Time Out value (4 seconds). This value determines how long
PCCharge waits for input from the PIN pad. You should not change the default
value unless you are experiencing difficulties with your device.
