Introduction
This chapter describes the basic operation of the terminal. The
following topics are covered:
1.) Menu-Based Operation. This section gives a general overview
of the terminal display interface.
2.) Keypad Operation. Describes the layout and use of the display
and alphanumeric keypads.
3.) Changing to Management Functions. Describes how to
access the terminal’s Management Functions.
Menu-based Operation
The terminal operates as a menu driven system. Messages and
menu options presented 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 Cus-
tomer 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.
When the unit is turned on, the dispenser will beep once and the
Top Menu, shown in Figure 2-1, will appear on the display screen
after a few seconds. From the Top Menu, you can either:
1.) Activate the terminal to perform customer transactions by
pressing the key next to CUSTOMER TRANSACTIONS.
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 ben-
efit 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).
