SIGNATURE CAPTURE
If your IPAD has signature capture capability, the LCD will prompt the cardholder to enter a

signature to complete the transaction (see figure 4-7 for a sample LCD display). After the

cardholder has entered his or her signature, the ENTER key must be pressed.

Figure 4-8. Example of User Screen to Enter Signature

STATUS CODES
The Device Offline screen indicates that the device is not ready for normal operation. There is

also a code in the lower right corner that can help explain the cause of the offline state. Codes

that start with H, S, C, or K indicate a problem with the unit that will require the device to be

returned to the supplier for service or replacement.

Code

Type

Description

A

An offline code beginning with "A" indicates the device is awaiting authentication. This is

a normal condition when a unit configured to require authentication (security level 4).

Authentication by the host application is required to return it to the "Welcome" screen.

C

An offline code beginning with "C" indicates the device is missing a certificate. It is

recommended that the device should be repaired or replaced.

H

An offline code beginning with "H" indicates there is a hardware problem with the device.

Should any H code be presented, it is recommended that the IPAD be repaired or

replaced.

K

An offline code beginning with "K" indicates a problem with either the MSR or PIN key. If

it is a new device, it is likely due to the PIN Key not being loaded. A new device showing

this code should be returned to the supplier for Key loading. If the code appears after

being deployed and used for a long period of time, this code would be presented if one or

both DUKPT keys have been exhausted. If this is the case it is recommended that you

contact the supplier for a replacement.

S

An offline code beginning with "S" indicates a security element failure. This code can be

triggered through severe handling of the device or strong interference by a nearby EMF

source. If you move the device away from any suspected EMF source and the error

continues, the device should be repaired or replaced.
