About Operating Modes

During operation, DynaProx devices transition between distinct operating modes, which are important for
operators to understand so they can properly control the device:
•
Powered Off Mode is the shipping and storage mode of the device. No external power is applied to
the device through the USB cable or RS232 cable. In this mode, the device consumes practically no
power. To move the device from Powered Off mode to Active mode, connect the device to USB
power or RS232 power.
•
Active Mode is the device's normal "awake" state when it is in use. In this mode, LEDs are powered
on, and the device is ready to receive commands from the host. To move the device from Active
mode to Powered Off mode remove power.

Operation Overview

During normal operation, the operator initiates a transaction from the host, and the cardholder interacts
with the device.
Transaction types may include new accounts, teller window applications, checking, savings, mortgages,
retail transactions, or any other type of transaction where there is interaction between the cardholder and
the operator. For each transaction type, the host software directs the cardholder, and the transaction flow
on the device may differ depending on what the host software specifies and what the cardholder does.
Section 6.6 Card Reading provides examples of the cardholder experience for each type of payment.
If the device cannot read payment data, the host software may prompt the cardholder to repeat the action
or reject transaction.
