This manual describes all operating features of the SuperScrip® Model 9200 Terminal.
Note that the SuperScrip Terminal operating features depend upon the version of terminal software
loaded. If the terminal you are using does not have the ability to perform a feature described in this
manual, or your terminal has a feature not described herein, it is probably because your processor
does not support the feature, the terminal software loaded in the terminal does not support the
feature, or the terminal was purchased without that particular option enabled.

?
A SuperScrip Terminal offers your customers the standard services commonly available from an
Automated Teller Machine (ATM), such as withdrawal, transfer of funds and balance inquiries.
However, instead of directly issuing cash to the customer, a printed voucher (the “scrip”) is pro-
vided, which is used as a claim check to obtain the cash from a cashier or other appropriate person-
nel in the establishment.
The scrip receipt is normally printed on two-part paper. The store copy is presented at the check-
out counter of the store in which it was issued. At that time, the customer may redeem the re-
ceipt for cash, or may purchase goods. Any balance remaining from a scrip purchase is returned
to the customer in the form of cash.
Once a withdrawal has been completed, the transaction processor (the organization that handles
the connection between the terminal and the banking system “network”) automatically debits the
customer’s account. The processor credits the merchant’s account for the amount of the with-
drawal plus any surcharge (if applicable) at the end of the business day.
As is typically the case with non-bank (“retail”-style) ATMs, the SuperScrip Terminal does not
accept cash deposits.

RANSACTIONS
The SuperScrip Terminal keeps track of all transactions and provides simple printed reports to
assist in maintaining accurate balance records. The DAY CLOSE function, for example, is used at
the conclusion of the business day to summarize the transaction activities for the terminal.
The exact details of the closing procedure vary slightly, depending upon the processor. The clos-
ing procedures that are applicable in most cases are described in detail in Section 3, Terminal
Operation, and Section 5, Management Functions.
