Integrated Payment Appendix
Overview
Non-EMV integrated payment operations requires connection to a DataTran appliance for
electronic payments to be initiated and completed at the SPS-300 cash register. Although
connected, the functions of the ECR and DataTran devices are distinct.
For EMV enabled applications, refer to the SPS-300 EMV Supplement
When an electronic payment transaction is completed at the SPS-300, the DataTran
communicates with the payment processor, through telephone modem or Internet connection
(depending upon the model of DataTran used). The DataTran works much like ordinary
standalone payment terminals, except that the keyboard, display and printing functions take
place only at the SPS-300 cash register.
Standard cash register reports are separate and distinct from local total, transaction and batch
reports that are stored in the DataTran. Payment batch data is stored in the DataTran. Batch and
DataTran functions are performed by entering the appropriate command in the SPS-300 “Z” key
lock position and printed by the cash register. Standard SPS-300 reports (Financial and/or Clerk
reports) provide summary information for each payment key and tip totals. As a “best practice”
it is recommended that payment summary information from cash register reports be confirmed
with batch information reported from the DataTran.
Payment Application Best Practice Notes
Password Security:
The SPS-300 features a clerk sign-on system. Operations are not allowed
until a clerk is signed on and the receipt indicates the clerk who performed each operation. Best
practices include:
•
Each employee should be set up as a unique employee.
•
Employee codes should be changed from the default setting.
•
When there is employee turnover, employee codes should be changed.
Key Security:
The SPS-300 features a control lock with different levels of key security. Refer
to “Control Lock” information on page 21 to see Keys that access the “
Z
” key lock position
(where DataTran payment functions can be performed) should be distributed only to managers or
employees authorized to perform those functions.
