Introduction
Terminal location and PIN privacy
Your First Data Merchant Solutions EFTPOS terminal allows you to accept credit, debit and charge card transactions electronically as a means of payment.
Customers can access their cheque, savings or credit accounts for purchases and refunds. Customers can also request cash out from cheque and savings accounts.
The physical location of an EFTPOS terminal is
important in protecting a customer’s PIN privacy.
When your new terminal is installed or relocated
within the premises, you must take care to ensure:
> the EFTPOS terminal is in a position that allows
the customer to enter their PIN so it cannot be observed by employees or other customers
> the EFTPOS PIN pad has an adequate length of
terminal connection cord to allow customers to enter their PIN privately
> if in a fixed position, the EFTPOS PIN pad has
not been placed at an angle or height that prevents customers from shielding their PIN entry
> the placement of mirrors and other reflective
materials do not allow the customer’s PIN entry to be observed through reflection
> security cameras can’t make a visual record of a
customer’s PIN entry.
You should communicate these guidelines to any staff members that process EFTPOS transactions using the First Data Merchant Solutions terminal. It is also important to remind staff members that customers should never be asked to disclose a PIN.

Terminal ownership
Settlement
All physical equipment provided to the merchant by First Data Merchant Solutions remains the property of First Data Merchant Solutions. This can include but is not limited to EFTPOS terminals, PIN pads, power packs, phone line cables and any additional hardware provided at the time of installation.
You can initiate settlement manually via the terminal menu any time before 1730 local time. You can also configure your EFTPOS terminal to automatically settle any time between 0001 and 1800 local time.
If you want to change your settlement terminal cut
off time to allow for longer trading hours, please
visit the merchant support page to download a
form and email your request.
If you do not complete settlement using one of these methods, your EFTPOS terminal will prompt you to manually settle when processing the first transaction after 1800 local time.
You can perform multiple settlements a day at any time, but the first settlement of the day (after 0301 and before 1730) will be the only settlement processed that day. You can obtain totals for transactions processed after the first settlement through the reports function on the terminal menu.

Transaction processing options
The First Data Merchant Solutions EFTPOS terminal has a chip card reader, a magnetic stripe reader and an integrated contactless reader for processing transactions.
All chip cards must be inserted into the chip card reader as shown below.
> Insert the credit card into the card reader with the
gold contact pad facing upward, as shown below.
> Leave the chip card in the reader until the
transaction is completed and the terminal prompts you to remove it.
> The terminal screen prompts will guide you
through the transaction process.
If the card is capable of performing a contactless transaction, place the card over the contactless reader, as shown below.
If the card does not have a chip or contactless capability, you can process transactions by swiping the magnetic stripe through the terminal.
Smart card reader — The integrated circuit card (ICC)
reader is located at the bottom end. Please make sure that the gold ICC contact pad is facing upward when inserting the card into the slot.
Magnetic card reader — The card reader slot is on the
right side of the terminal. With the magnetic stripe facing [inwards], slide the card in either direction through the slot without stopping. If the card swipe fails, check the position of the magnetic stripe and slide the card again.
Contactless card reader —The contactless card reader
antenna is embedded behind the display and PIN pad. The reader’s lights will show blue when the terminal is powered on to indicate the reader is working normally. To process a contactless payment, place the contactless card near the card reader antenna during a transaction.

Loading receipt paper
01 — Open the printer cover by gently pulling the printer
cover’s latch, then lift the cover away from the printer.
02 — Load a roll of thermal paper into the printer.
03 — Ensure the roll will feed out of the terminal so that
the print side of the paper faces the operator.
04 — Close the cover by pressing down evenly on both side
tabs, or by pressing on the centre of the printer cover.
05 — Use the serrated bar to tear off any excess paper.
IMPORTANT
Always store thermal paper for your terminal in a dry, dark area.
Handle thermal paper carefully. Impact, friction, temperature, humidity and oils can affect the colour and storage characteristics of the paper.
Never load a roll of paper that has folds, wrinkles, tears or holes at the edges of the print area.

IP/Broadband
Please contact the helpdesk on 1800 243 444
to activate your First Data Merchant Solutions
countertop EFTPOS terminal for transactions over
a broadband connection.
To use the First Data Merchant Solutions countertop EFTPOS terminals over a broadband connection, you will need to have Internet access and a router that has at least one spare Ethernet port for each terminal you use.
Your router will need to have dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) turned on. If your router does not support DHCP, please contact the helpdesk on 1800 243 444 to configure your terminal for use with a static IP address. If your connection has a firewall in place, you will need to open ports 4108 and 443.
The First Data Merchant Solutions EFTPOS terminal is capable of processing transactions through a broadband Internet connection as well as a standard phone line.
15
Get to know your terminal
Dial-up
Your countertop EFTPOS terminal features a phone cable input that allows you to connect your terminal using a regular dial-up phone line.
To process transactions using a standard phone line, simply connect from the communication port on your
First Data Merchant Solutions EFTPOS termina directly to a telephone wall jack.
If the broadband connection fails and the terminal is configured for a dial-up connection, it will automatically switch to dial-up mode.
Below is an example of a possible network configuration that the EFTPOS terminal can use to process transactions over IP/broadband Internet.

Other transaction types
Pre-authorisation
The pre-authorisation function allows you to authorise and hold funds on a customer’s credit card for a period of up to seven days. A pre-authorisation will not debit a customer’s account until a completion transaction is processed at a later date. Each ‘transaction’ consists of two parts: the pre-authorisation and the completion.
This facility is only available for use in certain industries, such as hotels or lodgings.
Part one: pre-authorisation
A pre-authorisation transaction requests verification from a customer’s card-issuing bank for the full value of the purchase. The customer’s bank will issue a successful pre-authorisation request with a 6-digit authorisation number.
IMPORTANT
The card issuer determines how long the pre-authorisation value is ‘held’ against the customer’s account. This period of time is typically three to five days. After this, the authorisation request expires and the business needs to issue a new pre-authorisation request to begin the transaction again.
Part two: completion
When processing the completion request, use the following data to retrieve the pre-authorisation transaction:
> the six-digit authorisation number
> the invoice number and amount
> the card number or date.
The amount of the completion request may not exceed the pre-authorisation request by more than 15%. If it does, the transaction will be declined.
When a completion transaction is successful, its value will be included in the end-of-day settlement to your merchant account.

Mail order/telephone order (MOTO)
Mail order and telephone order (MOTO) merchants are authorised to manually key credit card transactions. The terminal will automatically default to ‘Credit’ as the account type whenever you manually enter card numbers. Should you attempt to manually key a debit card number, the terminal will reject the transaction.
The MOTO process is similar to a normal purchase (or refund) that involves manually entering card details. However, as the physical card and customer are not present at the point of sale, you should gather and record as much customer information as possible before processing a MOTO transaction.
Step 01 Step 02
Alternatively, if ‘MOTO’ is not a configured hot
key, select ‘Transaction’, then select ‘MOTO’
from the transaction list.
Select ‘MOTO’ from the main screen
if it is configured as a hot key.

Void
There are some cases where either the merchant or the customer makes a mistake during the payment process and don’t realise until the transaction has completed. In these instances, it is too late to cancel or reverse the transaction and the transaction must be voided instead.
The void function may need to be used if:
> the customer uses an incorrect card
> the merchant enters an incorrect amount
> the merchant accidentally adds a tip to an
incorrect transaction.
When this occurs, the merchant needs to void the incorrect transaction and process a new one.
IMPORTANT — A void can only be performed on a credit card transaction. A refund is the equivalent process for debit transactions.
You can only void a transaction prior to performing a settlement on your terminal (this includes forced settlement).
There will be no record of the transaction and its void on your customer’s bank account. This is because the transaction is deleted before the bank can complete it and no funds are removed from your customer’s account.
The transaction and void will also not appear on your terminal settlement summary for the same reason. A record of the voided transaction will only appear on your transaction list report.
If you have already settled your terminal, the incorrect transaction must be refunded and re-processed. For more information, refer to the refund process on page 31 of this guide.

The First Data Merchant Solutions EFTPOS terminal can add a surcharge to every transaction processed. The surcharge can be either a fixed dollar amount ($1.00 per transaction, for example) or it can be a percentage of the total transaction (2%, for example).
To enable your terminal for surcharging, please
contact the helpdesk on 1800 243 444.
If required, the method of calculation and the surcharge amount can be different for different card types. For example, you could set the terminal to charge all debit cards a set amount per transaction (such as a. $1.00 surcharge) and all credit cards could incur a 2% surcharge.
As shown below, the surcharge amount is always displayed on the customer and merchant receipts. You can configure your terminal to automatically calculate the GST on surcharge amounts.

Card rules
Certain transactions are considered low risk and do not need to be authorised online. Transactions in this category are known as off-host transactions. Below is a list of off-host transaction responses:
Y1 = offline approved
Z1 = offline declined
Y3 = unable to go online and approved offline
Z3 = unable to go online and declined offline.
Electronic fallback
If approved by First Data Merchant Solutions, your EFTPOS terminal can be configured for electronic fallback mode.
The First Data Merchant Solutions EFTPOS terminal will enter electronic fallback mode if there is a problem transmitting the transaction to the card issuer. This could be due to a communications error or due to the issuer being unavailable.
These transactions are known as electronic fallback (EFB) transactions.
All EFB transactions require signature confirmation and will be approved with a response code of “08 Approved with signature”. Transactions above the floor limit will prompt the user to enter an authorisation number.
You can obtain an authorisation for EFB
transactions by contacting the helpdesk on
1800 243 444.
Please note that in EFB mode, the terminal may prompt the customer to enter their PIN and provide their signature. In all cases, please follow the prompts on your terminal.
Offline transaction processing
Offline transactions are those your terminal approves without contacting the card issuer. The approved transactions are forwarded to the issuer at a later stage. Offline transactions are allowed for a number of reasons, outline below.
