In this section, we go over everything you need to
know to set up your Desk/5000.
Setting up
Your
Terminal
Setting up Your Terminal
Moneris®Desk/5000 Reference Guide3
Before you get started
1. Confirm you have received the required hardware.
2. Review the Moneris Ethernet Readiness Checklist to ensure that your Ethernet service is ready to
support your terminal. The checklist is available online at moneris.com/support-desk5000.
3. Go to Hardware setup on page 5.
Moneris® Desk/5000 Reference Guide 4
1. Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the Magic
Box port labelled ETH.
2. Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into the
router/switch/hub/internal wiring — whatever is
applicable to the high-speed Internet service at your
location. (If necessary, please refer to the Moneris Ethernet Readiness Checklist).
Hardware setup
Connect the Ethernet cable
Moneris® Desk/5000 Reference Guide 5
1. Insert the plug connector into the adaptor box to form
the complete power cable.
2. Insert the power cable's barrel connector into the
Magic Box's circular port labelled with the power
symbol .
Connect the two-part power supply cable
3. Plug the other end of the power cable into a power source. The terminal will power on.
Recommendations: Always plug the power cable into the power source last to avoid power surges.
Use a power bar equipped with surge protection if possible. Do not use the power cable from your
existing terminal, as it may damage your new terminal.
IMPORTANT! You must use the exact power adaptor and cables provided by Moneris to work
with your terminal. Failure to do so may affect the operability of, or cause damage to, the
equipment.
Remove the protective film (if applicable)
If your Desk/5000 terminal has a protective film covering the display screen, peel the film off.
Hint: Peel from the top right to the bottom left corner.
Moneris® Desk/5000 Reference Guide 6
1. Lift the printer latch up, and then pull back to open the
lid and expose the paper well.
2. Insert the paper roll into the paper well with the loose
end unrolling from the bottom of the roll toward the
back of the terminal.
Note: If the paper is installed backward, your printouts
will be blank.
3. Unroll enough paper to extend at least one inch (2.5
cm) past the faceplate.
4. Close the lid, and press down to snap it back into place
so that the extended paper is pressed securely against
the closed lid and the faceplate.
Note: The paper should unroll back over the top of the
printer, not unroll over the faceplate.
Note: To advance the paper from the printer when the
lid is closed, you must press and hold down the paper
feed key when the terminal is powered on. DO NOT
attempt to manually advance the paper by pulling it as
this will damage the printer.
Install the paper roll
5. Your hardware setup is complete. Go to Software setup on page 8.

Card masking
When printed on receipts, all card numbers are masked except for the last 4 digits. Masking replaces a
card’s numbers with asterisks (e.g., ************1234). The expiry date is not printed on any copy of
any receipt. These measures help to prevent fraud.
Moneris® Desk/5000 Reference Guide 47

fraud.

End of day process
Debit and credit transactions processed on your terminal are stored in a batch. In order for Moneris to transfer
the funds from those transactions into your business account, the batch must be closed. There are two ways to
close a batch: system close and merchant close.
System close
If your account is set up for system close, Moneris automatically closes your batch for you at the end of each
day. You must verify transaction totals on a daily basis. Here's how.
1. Print the Host Totals report.
Note: The Host Totals report must be printed before 11:00 p.m. local time, that is, before Moneris closes your
batch. You can also view (and download) the host totals report online starting at 7 a.m. the next day by
logging into the Merchant Direct web portal and selecting Daily Transaction Report Menu, then Daily Batch
Summary Report.
a. From the Main menu, tap End of Day, then Host Totals.
The terminal communicates with the Moneris Host to obtain the batch totals recorded on the host.
b. Tap Print or press 1 on the keypad to print the report.
c. Tap OK to return to the End of Day menu.
2. Print the Terminal Totals report.
a. On the End of Day menu, tap Terminal Totals.
b. Tap Select Type, then Entire Batch, then tap OK.
c. Tap Print or press 1 on the keypad to print the report.
d. Tap OK to return to the End of Day menu.
3. Compare the Host Totals report (printed in step 1) with the Terminal Totals report (printed in step 2).
If the totals on the host agree with the totals on the terminal, no further action is required.
If the totals on the host are different from the totals on the terminal, continue with the rest of this
procedure.
4. Compare the 2 reports again to determine which transaction type is missing from the Moneris host. For
example, the Visa section may show 5 Purchases on the terminal totals but only 4 Purchases on the host
totals.
5. View the Transaction Details report to find the missing transaction(s).
a. On the End of Day menu, tap Transaction Details.
The Transaction Details search screen appears.
b. Tap Select Type, then Entire Batch, then tap OK.
The terminal displays the details of all transactions in the current batch, together with transaction totals,
as recorded on the terminal.
Moneris® Desk/5000 Reference Guide 52
c. For each missing transaction, locate the date, time, dollar amount, and the last 4 digits of the card
number. Print the report if you wish.
If requested, the terminal prints the transaction details and totals, and returns to the Transactions
Details screen.
6. Call Moneris Customer Care toll-free at 1-866-319-7450, now or the next business day, to obtain assistance
with reconciling your out-of-balance batch.
a. When listening to the options on the telephone menu, select “Financial Inquiry”. We will ask you for the
information gathered in step 5c. You can read it from the Transaction Details report screen or from the
printed report.
b. After speaking to Moneris, if the terminal still displays the Transaction Details report, press the yellow
key twice to return to the End of Day menu.
Merchant close
If you do not wish to have your batch closed automatically each day, contact Moneris Customer Care to discuss
merchant close. If your account is set up for merchant close, you must verify transaction totals and close the
batch yourself using the terminal.
To find out more about merchant close, go to the Desk/5000 Operating Manual available online in WebHelp
format at moneris.com/support-desk5000.
