Financial Transactions

All transactions are authorized by the Emergis host.

Features

Starting a Sale or Pre-authorization from Idle Screen

When you swipe a card at the idle screen, the terminal starts a sale or a pre-authorization (depending on
the configured default transaction; see page 23).
However, if the card is debit, the terminal always starts a sale since a pre-authorization requires a credit
card.
SALE
If you start a sale by selecting at the menu, you must select the payment type before entering the
card. This is not the case when you start a sale by swiping the card at the idle screen.

Credit and Debit Cards

During a credit transaction, you may swipe the credit card or manually enter the credit card account
number and expiration date. Additional security can be set through configuration parameters (credit card
security check and card imprint message, page 22). The credit card receipts provide a line for the
customer signature.
During a debit transaction, the card must be swiped. The debit customer must be present during a debit
transaction and must answer the customer prompts.

Refunds and Voids

A refund transaction returns the refund amount to the customer's account. The password is required to
perform this transaction.
A void transaction cancels a debit or credit transaction. The password and the original transaction
number are required.
You can configure the terminal not to print credit void transactions (see page 29).
Debit transactions must always be printed.

Credit Forced Posts

This transaction is enabled if supported by the host. A credit forced post is performed to notify the system
about a credit sale performed off-line. In this case, the credit card issuer gives an authorization number
over the telephone. This voice authorization number is entered later when a forced post is performed.
You can configure the terminal not to print forced posts (see page 29).
