In order to perform a transaction in a quick and efficient manner you may type in the transaction amount from the idle screen, insert the card to the card reader or press menu key and select sale option. This method may be used to start any sale transaction, regardless of card type is (i.e. contactless cards or cards with, or without, a chip).

Enter the transaction amount while the idle screen is being displayed by typing in the amount in pence (i.e. 1234 for £12.34) followed by the green key. If you make a mistake when entering the amount you can correct this by using the correction keys. Press the yellow key once to delete one character at a time. Press the red key to cancel the amount entry and return to the idle screen.

1. A sale transaction may be initiated from the READY prompt (your MID Number will also be displayed) by keying in the transaction amount and pressing ENTER .
