Normally, journal data is printed by the unit’s receipt printer, but with the optional Triton Con-
nect software package the information can be sent to a remote PC (Personal Computer) for
storage and subsequent analysis.
The information in the electronic journal is maintained in a safe and secure environment. The
journal is physically located in the lower security compartment of the unit, making it as secure
as the cash itself. Even after a transaction record has been printed to the receipt printer, it can
still be read and printed again. Old records are retained in the electronic journal until 2045
records have been stored, at which time the journal must be printed or cleared.
The software on the terminal makes it easy to retrieve stored information as often as necessary.
From the operator’s standpoint, use of the journal is simple. All that is required of the operator
is to do a PRINT JOURNAL command on a regular basis. Typically, the journal should be
printed out whenever a DAY CLOSE is completed, although this is not a requirement.
When the PRINT JOURNAL command is selected, only the records acquired since the last
PRINT JOURNAL command will be printed. Therefore, you don’t have to keep track of what
record was printed last, because the terminal does it for you.
If the printed copy of a group of records is accidentally lost or destroyed, or the receipt printer
runs out of paper before completely printing a group of records, it is a simple matter to reprint
them, since they remain stored in the journal (until overwritten, as explained earlier).

Distributor EPROM Access With Challenge
This feature provides increased security by allowing each distributor to select their own unique
EPROM access code for each terminal they sell or service. Procedures for entering and chang-
ing the EPROM Access Code are contained in the Mako Dispenser Installation and Service
Manual.
•
Status Monitoring
This feature (not available with all versions of the terminal’s operating software) allows infor-
mation about the operational status of the terminal to be provided to the processor. The feature
is activated using the terminal’s Management Functions.
•
Language Option
The Mako Dispenser has a screen language option. This option allows the terminal user to
select a preferred language (such as Spanish) when beginning an ATM transaction.
