The display of the PINpad device idle prompt can be downloadable. For
example, the idle prompt display may be customized to display a
"WELCOME" message.
Using the Cardreader
The cardreader reads data quickly and
accurately and is generally the preferred
method since the card swipe lessens the
chance for human error. However, manual
keypad entry is useful if a card is damaged or
when an order is being taken by phone or mail.
1. Check the display for the idle prompt. If not
displayed, press [CLEAR] twice to cancel
any current operation and display
the idle prompt.
2. Hold the card so the magnetic stripe is down
and facing left (toward the keypad or the center of the PINpad).
3. Insert the card in the rear of the slot and briskly slide it through the
cardreader toward the front of the PINpad.
If the PINpad device cannot read the card number, it displays PLEASE TRY
AGAIN. Check how you are holding the card and slide it through the slot
again. If the number still cannot be read, enter the number on the keypad
followed by [#/ENTER].
Using the Keypad
The PINpad 201 unit has 12 keys—much like
a standard telephone—and includes letters A
through Z, the numerals 0 through 9 and
special characters * and #.
To enter your personal identification number to
complete a transaction, the PINpad displays a
prompt requesting PIN entry. Enter your
number and press [#]. The PINpad device
rotates a processing display when it
successfully receives the PIN entry.

Note: You can clear the PINpad unit display to

reenter a PIN by pressing [CLEAR]. Refer to

the PINpad 201 Reference and Programmer’s

Manual, P/N 10297 for more complete details

including diagnostic procedures and

programming considerations.
