SmartSELECT Merchant Operating Manual v 2.0 5
Chapter 2: About the SmartSELECT
Your SmartSELECT terminal is a stand-alone, electronic Debit and Credit card
payment system that connects to the Point of Sale (POS) payment services pro-
vided by Moneris Solutions.
The basic SmartSELECT system consists of the SmartSELECT terminal with a
built-in printer. If you accept debit cards, you will need to connect a PINPad to the
terminal.
If you encounter any problems using the SmartSELECT, review the appropriate
section of this documentation (use the Index to find information quickly) or con-
sult Appendix J: Error Messages & Troubleshooting. If the problem persists, call
the Moneris Merchant Service Centre for immediate professional assistance. (See
Section 1.3: Contacting Moneris Solutions for telephone numbers.)
2.1: The Terminal
The SmartSELECT terminal consists of a touch screen, an integrated printer, a
magnetic stripe reader (MSR) and a small speaker. Together these pieces form a
self-supporting unit. A PINPad holster can also be attached if a PINPad will be
connected to the terminal for performing debit transactions.
2.1.1: The Touch Screen
The interface is a touch-sensitive, backlit, monochrome black on white, LCD
screen, 3.4” wide by 4.5” high.
To select an item or “press” a button, touch the surface of the screen gently with
your fingertip or the eraser end of a pencil.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT use pointed objects on the touch screen.
They may damage the surface.
The screen changes as you proceed through a transaction, presenting the neces-
sary prompts and information in a clear, easy-to-read fashion. The standard
screens are described below along with the standard areas of the screen, and the
buttons and keypads that appear on the screen.
The Idle Screen
The Idle screen is displayed when your SmartSELECT terminal is not performing
any transactions or functions. It is determined by whether a PINPad is attached to
the terminal and, if so, the type of PINPad. There are two types: the Swipe Card
Idle screen and the Amount Entry Idle screen.
•The
Swipe Card Idle screen appears if there is no PINPad or there is a PINPad
II attached. It displays the default transaction type (Purchase or Pre-Authori-
zation) over the prompt Swipe Customer Card and a numeric keypad with a
Calculator button and a Transfer from Calc button.
