2. Connect the male AC adapter plug to the power input port at the rear of the
terminal (see Figure 8). The black sleeve that surrounds the plug has a round
area that is unmarked and a flat area that is marked with two arrows. In order to
connect the power adapter, please note that the plug must be turned
upside down, so that the flat area of the sleeve is facing down. The sleeve
acts as a lock to secure the plug to the terminal. Please note that if the cord must
be disconnected from the terminal, the sleeve must be slid back in order to
disconnect the plug.
3. Plug the adapter into a 120V electrical outlet or surge suppressor (see Figure 9).

AVAILABLE (unless an application has been pre-downloaded).
Maintenance
The LinkPoint system does not need preventive maintenance. However, LinkPoint
International does recommend periodic cleaning of the keypad, using a soft brush to
remove any dust. Because the terminal can be damaged by liquids, do not spray liquid
cleaners directly on the terminal. Always apply the cleaner to the cloth before cleaning
the terminal. To avoid costly downtime, LinkPoint International also recommends
protecting the terminal with a surge protector.
Returning the Terminal for Service
Please refer to your sales agreement for specific details on coverage to repair or replace
the LinkPoint terminal.

FEATURES AND OPTIONS
New Features Include:
Electronic Benefits Transfer Processing
The application Nashville Config 690 01.08.00 can be used in the LinkPoint AIO (All-InOne) and the LinkPoint 3000 terminals to accept Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT)
cards to purchase food and other items. The terminal sends card and transaction type
information to the host computer and a host reply is sent back to the terminal. An
approval code confirms the funds are available for eventual settlement to the merchant
and usually includes card balance information. EBT cards replace traditional food
stamps. The EBT batch updates automatically, so there is no need to perform a close
batch transaction. See also the Credit, Debit or EBT Prompt paragraph later in this
chapter.
Enhanced Calculator Print Function
Standard calculator functions have been enhanced to include a print feature. The
function still allows simple arithmetic calculations and can still be accessed from the idle
menu by: pressing the numeric keys followed by a key representing a mathematical
symbol (÷, X, - or +) and then [ENTER] to obtain the result. In the enhanced version,
when the function is accessed, the printer is turned on automatically. The solution to the
calculation will print after the [ENTER] key is pressed. From the idle prompt, press [0] to
access function. Press [CLEAR] once to begin a new calculation, press [CLEAR] twice to
exit function.
Pre Sale Receipt
Merchants who use the tip function now have the ability to learn from the customer the
exact amount of their tip before they accept a credit card for payment. The pre sale
receipt feature allows the merchant to print a receipt that is presented to the customer.
This receipt does not contain a credit card number and no transaction is added to the
batch. The receipt has the base amount of the purchase and blank amount lines for tip
and total amounts. The customer then uses the blank lines to write the tip and total
transaction amount. The merchant then enters the customer credit card number into the
LinkPoint terminal to process the transaction.
Download Improvement
Currently, when a new terminal is deployed into the field, the terminal has to be fully
downloaded with the all merchant information and then sent to the merchant or the
terminal has to be sent out “blank” without any application or merchant information
loaded at all and then loaded from the field.
This information is Proprietary and Confidential to LinkPoint International - Reproduction without the
expressed, written consent of LinkPoint International is prohibited.
Page 16
This version of the application features a download improvement. With this version of the
application, the download will stop after the base application has been loaded. After the
base application download, the terminal will prompt the user for a terminal ID and
download phone number. Once entered, the terminal will complete the download and
initialize the terminal so that it can be used by the merchant.
This improvement will allow a terminal to be stored with a Nashville base application, so
that a terminal to terminal download is possible without loading merchant information.
This feature also makes it possible for the terminal to be deployed with a base
application so that the unit can initialized quickly in the field.
Credit, Debit or EBT Prompt
When a card is swiped the terminal may display a prompt to choose whether a
transaction is a credit, EBT or debit transaction. When this prompt appears, the user
must press the correct [
S] key to choose the correct transaction type.

number. The current version of the application only allows these transactions to be
selected one at a time without being able to move on to the next one.

Press the left [S] key to choose by invoice number, the
middle [

Page 17
Unadjusted Tip Query by Invoice, Sequence or Employee ID
This enhancement allows the user to search for and display unadjusted tip transactions
by invoice, sequence or employee ID number. In other words, when one transaction is
adjusted, it automatically displays the next one in the open batch. The current version of
the application only allows these transactions to be selected one at a time without being
able to move on to the next one automatically.
Tip Discount
The tip discount feature provides the terminal with the ability to control by card type the
amount subtracted from tips. In other words, if a card type is set to a tip discount of 10%,
when a tip amount is entered for that card type, 10% of the tip will be subtracted and a
net tip amount will be created. The gross tip amount, the amount subtracted and net tip
amount will printout on employee detail and employee total reports; it will not printout on
transaction receipts.

Enlarged Receipt Font
Selected lines of the credit, debit and ECA receipts will now print out using an enlarged
font. The font has been enlarged from 32 characters per line to 20 characters per line.
Please compare the old receipt copy to the current receipt copy:

Batch Close Idle Prompt
If the terminal is set for automatic batch close, after a successful close, the REPRINT
TOTALS? prompt will display. If, after a successful automatic batch close, the setting for
Auto DLL download type is ‘1’ or ‘2’, then after five minutes (if no other keys are pressed
in that time) the terminal will return to the idle prompt. If the setting for Auto DLL
download type is ‘0’ then the terminal will remain at the REPRINT TOTALS? prompt until
the terminal is manually cleared.
Batch Close Five Minute Delay for Auto DLL Download
The Auto DLL download begins when all the proper conditions exist (batch closes, auto
download type is set to ‘1’ or ‘2’ and the auto download date and time have passed).
This setting adds a five minute delay to when the Auto DLL download initiates.
Timed Auto DLL Download Wait until Next Timed Occurrence
The Auto DLL download is set to ‘1’ the terminal will wait for the next occurrence of the
auto download time for a timed download to begin.
If the terminal receives the Auto DLL Download time and the terminal closes batch after
that time, please wait until the next timed occurrence to begin the DLL download.

EBT Error Receipts
EBT receipts (merchant and customer copies) must be printed regardless of the
approval status of the EBT transaction as long as a valid response is received from the
host. The terminal does not need to print an error receipt for general communication
errors (timeout, lost carrier, etc.). The error receipt will print a normal receipt through the
last amount line after which the terminal will skip a line and print the error condition as
indicated by the host according to the following table. In addition, the host may return
response text in VP Dual Additional Data Field 40 which must be printed on the receipt
as well. If balance information is returned on the host response, the terminal will skip a
line and print the balance lines after the error text on the customer receipt copy.

expressed, written consent of LinkPoint International is prohibited.
Page 27
Response Text (Additional Data Field 40)
For ECA and EBT transactions, the host can return response text to print on the receipt.
The response text is included in VP Dual Additional Data Field 40. The field should be
treated as variable length up to 64 characters delimited by an ASCII field separator. The
terminal should parse the data up to 64 characters or up to the field separator whichever
comes first. The response text prints on the settlement report. The leading and trailing
spaces will be removed and the text will be centered as much as possible. If there are
more characters than will print on a line, then characters will wrap to the next line.

SETUP
After the terminals have been unpacked and installed they may require setup. The
following procedures explain the setup procedures that are necessary to use the
LinkPoint AIO and 3000 terminals. Please note that any setup procedures performed by
the merchant must be attempted only after consulting with either your service provider help desk or sale representative. Most terminals arrive at the merchant
location after these procedures have already been performed so they may not be
necessary for normal merchant use.
Memory Clear
This function is only performed before a full application download. Do not perform a
memory clear for parameter initialization or partial downloads. The memory clear
function clears the terminal memory of previous application installations and other stored
data and also prepares the terminal for a full application download.
IMPORTANT! Before a full application download can occur a full memory clear
procedure must be performed. This feature will also delete an open batch, so
please perform a batch close procedure before attempting a memory clear.
Please follow the procedures below to perform a full memory clear.

Password Protection
This procedure explains two things: how to change the password settings and how to
add password protection to the credit and gift card transactions. Changing the password
means having control over that setting in the program. Adding password protection to a
transaction means that any user will have to enter the appropriate password to perform
that transaction. This application features three levels of available password protection:
MIN, which means the minimum level of password protection, MED, which means the
medium or next level of password protection or MAX, which means the maximum level
of available password protection. Any credit or gift card transaction can be set for any
level of password protection. Please refer to the Password Section for more information
on passwords. Please follow the steps below to set password protection on gift card
transactions.
Password override: Any one of the three passwords can be overridden by entering the
override password for that day. The override password is the date
set into the terminal squared plus the number of the month. For
instance, to calculate the override password for February 15th,
use the following formula: 15x15 +2=227. 227 is the override
password and can be used to override all three levels of password
protection.

Demo Mode
This procedure explains how to turn the demonstration mode or demo mode on and off.
The demo mode is used for terminal testing and sales purposes. It is called demo mode
because it demonstrates how the terminal looks and sounds when it processes
transactions by simulating the actual response screens and even producing receipts.
Any test transactions performed in a demonstration batch must be closed before the
terminal exit demo mode.
Please note: It is important to stay out of this mode when trying to process real
transactions. The mode simulates actual transactions and if a real
transaction is attempted while in demo mode, it will not be processed
even though it will appear to do so. The message DEMO MODE will
display as it alternates with the idle prompt and the words DEMO and
DEMONSTRATTION ONLY will print on the receipts and reports.

FOOD STAMP AND CASH BENEFIT TRANSACTIONS
The application Nashville Config 690 01.08.00 can be used in the LinkPoint AIO (All-InOne) and the LinkPoint 3000 terminals to accept Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT)
cards to purchase food and other items. The terminal sends card and transaction type
information to the host computer and a host reply is sent back to the terminal. An
approval code confirms the funds are available for eventual settlement to the merchant
and usually includes card balance information. EBT cards replace traditional food
stamps. The EBT batch updates automatically, so there is no need to perform a close
batch transaction.
The following section explains how EBT card processing works using the LinkPoint
terminals. For information about card processing not covered in these procedures,
please contact your credit card processing help desk or sales representative.
The transactions that are necessary for LinkPoint EBT card acceptance are:
Food Stamp Transaction Explanation
Sale A food item is bought with an EBT card
Return An item bought with an EBT card is returned for credit
Balance Inquiry Verifies the available amount on an EBT card
Voucher Clear Sale Completes a purchase using an authorization code
obtained earlier
Voucher Clear Return Completes a credit using an authorization code
obtained earlier
Void Cancels most recent food stamp item only
Cash Benefit Transaction Explanation
Sale A item is sold using the EBT card cash benefit
Purchase with Cash
Back
Cash Only Customer redeems an amount for cash only using the
Balance Inquiry Verifies available cash benefit amount of an EBT card
Void Cancels most recent cash benefit item only
