nect Host Computer that tells it to format Graphics Memory.

AD Screens
An Ad Screen is a promotional or advertising graphic that is displayed on the Mako Dispenser
LCD screen. It is displayed alternately with the Customer Welcome screen graphic (while the
terminal is idle) and while a customer transaction is being processed. Triton Connect Software
Release 1.8 or higher is required to support the use of AD Screens.
Triton Connect has the ability to format 16-bit color graphics for use in AD Screens (this
requires the optional 16-color LCD display), to format monochrome graphics for use in receipt
printouts, and to create text-based messages.
Once formatted, the graphics and text-based messages can be downloaded to a terminal by the
Triton Connect host computer. The time of day a specific Ad Screen is displayed and the dura-
tion it will be displayed can also be controlled.
•
Text-Based AD Screens
Text-based AD Screens can be displayed to the customer while the terminal is performing a
transaction. A maximum of four text-based ads can be displayed during the interval that the
“Transaction Processing - Please Wait” message screen is being shown to the customer.
Each ad consists of up to eight lines of text, and each ad can be displayed for an operator-
specified duration. The messages are created and downloaded to the terminal using Triton
Connect Software Release release 1.8 or above.
