Menu-Based Operation
The terminal operates as a menu driven system. Messages and menu options pre-
sented on the LCD display screen guide the user’s actions. The desired menu option
is selected by pressing one of the screen keys located to the left and right of the
display. For the purpose of security, many screens timeout after a preset time inter-
val, usually 30 seconds. The timeout length may vary depending on the function
being performed.
When a screen timeout occurs, a screen is presented which asks the user if more
time is needed. If the user chooses NO, the Customer Welcome screen will be
presented. If YES is chosen, the user is returned to the function that was active prior
to the timeout. If the user does not make a selection within an additional 30-second
countdown period the terminal will automatically go to the Customer Welcome
screen.
Shortly after the unit is turned on, the top menu will be displayed. An example top
menu is shown in Figure 2-5. From the top menu, you can either:
1.) Activate the terminal to perform customer transactions by pressing the key next
to Customer Transaction.
2.) Enter the terminal system management area by pressing the key next to
Management Functions.
If you do not select a menu choice within 30 seconds the terminal will automatically
default to the Customer Welcome screen (a benefit of this feature is that in the event
of a power interruption the terminal will automatically begin accepting customer
transactions shortly after power is restored).
