OPERATION MANUAL
SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION
WHAT’SIN THIS MANUAL
This manual describes all operating features of the SuperScrip® Model 9200 Terminal.
Note that the SuperScrip Terminal operating features depend upon the version of terminal software
loaded. If the terminal you are using does not have the ability to perform a feature described in this
manual, or your terminal has a feature not described herein, it is probably because your processor
does not support the feature, the terminal software loaded in the terminal does not support the
feature, or the terminal was purchased without that particular option enabled.
WHATISA SUPERSCRIP TERMINAL?
A SuperScrip Terminal offers your customers the standard services commonly available from an
Automated Teller Machine (ATM), such as withdrawal, transfer of funds and balance inquiries.
However, instead of directly issuing cash to the customer, a printed voucher (the “scrip”) is provided, which is used as a claim check to obtain the cash from a cashier or other appropriate personnel in the establishment.
The scrip receipt is normally printed on two-part paper. The store copy is presented at the checkout counter of the store in which it was issued. At that time, the customer may redeem the receipt for cash, or may purchase goods. Any balance remaining from a scrip purchase is returned
to the customer in the form of cash.
Once a withdrawal has been completed, the transaction processor (the organization that handles
the connection between the terminal and the banking system “network”) automatically debits the
customer’s account. The processor credits the merchant’s account for the amount of the with-
drawal plus any surcharge (if applicable) at the end of the business day.
As is typically the case with non-bank (“retail”-style) ATMs, the SuperScrip Terminal does not
accept cash deposits.
BALANCING DAILY TRANSACTIONS
The SuperScrip Terminal keeps track of all transactions and provides simple printed reports to
assist in maintaining accurate balance records. The DAY CLOSE function, for example, is used at
the conclusion of the business day to summarize the transaction activities for the terminal.
The exact details of the closing procedure vary slightly, depending upon the processor. The closing procedures that are applicable in most cases are described in detail in Section 3, Terminal
Operation, and Section 5, Management Functions.

Systems Terminals. Ad Graphic screens can now be displayed using a richer palette of 256 colors.
TRITON SYSTEMS, INC.
2-2
MODEL 9200 SUPERSCRIPTM OPERATION MANUAL
SECTION 2 - FEATURES
•
MAC Data Encryption Support
Terminal Software Release 4.1 implements support for the Message Authentication Code (MAC)
data encryption protocol. This capability is typically referred to as “MAC-ing”. NOTE: This
feature is currently only available in the Triton Standard version of Terminal Software Release 4.1. Also, the SPED option (described below) is required to support MACing.
MACing Provides increased protection for message traffic to and from the Terminal.
•
SPED PIN Entry Device Support
The newest Terminal EPROM upgrade, along with Software Release 4.1, support an optional
feature of Triton Systems Terminals known as the Secure PIN Entry Device, or SPED. Note that
the SPED option is required in order to support MACing. SPED is an encryption system that offers additional protection for the customer PIN during entry at the Terminal keypad.
•
DATAPAK 3000 Communications Protocol Support
Terminal Software Release 4.1 is DATAPAK 3000 protocol-compliant. This new capability enables the Terminal to interface with designated DATAPAK intermediaries (in the Canadian
market region), who in turn provide connectivity to the appropriate transaction processor.
NOTE: This feature is only available for use in the Canadian market.
DATAPAK 3000 connectivity is typically faster and more cost-effective than a direct dial-up
connection between the Terminal and the transaction processor.
STANDARD FEATURESOFTHE SUPERSCRIP TERMINAL
The following paragraphs provide descriptions of the standard features of the Terminal.
•
Close Scheduling
This function enables the operator of the terminal to establish a time at which the terminal will
automatically initiate a close operation with the processor. If only manual initiation of a close is
desired, this feature can be turned off.
2-3
TRITON SYSTEMS, INC.
MODEL 9200 SUPERSCRIPTM OPERATION MANUAL
SECTION 2 - FEATURES
•
Exit Message
This feature allows a message to be displayed to the customer at the conclusion of a transaction.
The content of the message is determined by the operator.
•
Predial Capability
By initiating the call to the processor immediately after the PIN is keyed in, the actual transaction,
once selected, can be completed more quickly. If desired, the predial capability can be disabled, in
which case the call to the processor will not be made until after the customer actually chooses a
transaction.
•
Alarm Thresholds
NOTE: This feature must be used in conjunction with Triton Connect version 3.0 or later.
This feature enables the terminal to detect and automatically report the following conditions to a
remote personal computer (PC) that is running Triton Connect (version 3.0 or later):
1.)The number of journal entries has risen above a pre-defined threshold.
2.)Scheduled transfer of journal data to a remote Triton Connect host computer. This time can
be setat the terminal or via Triton Connect
•
Transaction and Account Type Configuration
This feature enables the terminal operator to select the types of transactions (transfers or balance
inquiries) or accounts (savings or credit card) that will be presented to the customer. This feature
does not affect the availability of checking account withdrawal transactions, which are always
presented.
•
Internal Electronic Journal
The Terminal features a solid state internal electronic journal. The details of each transaction
are stored in the journal’s memory, and can be retrieved at a later date. When needed, just the
information desired can be recalled and a printout of the records made.
Normally, journal data is printed by the unit’s receipt printer, but with the optional Triton Connect software package the information can be sent to a remote PC (Personal Computer) for
storage and subsequent analysis. Even after a transaction record has been printed to the receipt
printer, it can still be read and printed again. Old records are retained in the journal until 256
records have been stored, at which time the journal must be printed or cleared.
TRITON SYSTEMS, INC.
2-4
MODEL 9200 SUPERSCRIPTM OPERATION MANUAL
SECTION 2 - FEATURES
The software on the terminal makes it easy to retrieve stored information as often as necessary.
From the operator’s standpoint, use of the journal is simple. All that is required of the operator
is to do a PRINT JOURNAL command on a regular basis. Typically, the journal should be
printed out whenever a DAY CLOSE is completed, although this is not a requirement.
When the PRINT JOURNAL command is selected, only the records acquired since the last
PRINT JOURNAL command will be printed. Therefore, you don’t have to keep track of what
record was printed last, because the terminal does it for you.
If the printed copy of a group of records is accidentally lost or destroyed, or the receipt printer
runs out of paper before completely printing a group of records, it is a simple matter to reprint
them, since they remain stored in the journal (until overwritten, as explained earlier).
•
Distributor EPROM Access With Challenge
This feature provides increased security by allowing each distributor to select their own unique
EPROM access code for each terminal they sell or service.
•
Status Monitoring
This feature (not available with all versions of the terminal’s operating software) allows information about the operational status of the terminal to be provided to the processor. The feature
is activated using the terminal’s Management Functions.
•
Language Option
The Terminal has a screen language option. This option allows the customer to select a preferred language (such as Spanish) when beginning a Terminal transaction.
•
International Monetary Support
This feature allows installation and service personnel to select one of a number of monetary
symbols (such as C, ¢, $, ƒ, L, P
dispensed by the Terminal. The default symbol can be viewed and changed through the Management Functions.
£, Q, ¥) that describe the type of currency that will be

SECTION 2 - FEATURES
•
Six-Digit Amount Entry Fields
U.S. domestic versions of the terminal operating software allow up to six digits to be entered in
all fields where a cash amount is expected. Some international versions of the software allow
extended field-lengths (see Extended Fields).
•
Receipt Printer Paper Low Option
This features allows the end user to determine whether or not the terminal is allowed to continue processing transactions when the receipt printer paper is low.
•
AD Screens
An Ad Screen is a promotional or advertising graphic that is displayed on the Terminal LCD
screen. It is displayed alternately with the Customer Welcome screen graphic (while the terminal is idle) and while a customer transaction is being processed. Triton Connect Software Release 1.8 or higher is required to support the use of AD Screens.
Triton Connect has the ability to format 16-color and 256-color graphics for use in AD Screens
(this requires the optional color LCD display), to format monochrome graphics for use in receipt printouts, and to create text-based messages.
Once formatted, the graphics and text-based messages can be downloaded to a terminal by the
Triton Connect host computer and stored in Graphic Memory. The time of day a specific Ad
Screen is displayed and the duration it will be displayed can also be controlled.
•
Text-Based AD Screens
Text-based AD Screens can be displayed to the customer while the terminal is performing a
transaction. A maximum of four text-based ads can be displayed during the interval that the
“Transaction Processing - Please Wait” message screen is being shown to the customer. Each
ad consists of up to eight lines of text, and each ad can be displayed for an operator-specified
duration. The messages are created and downloaded to the terminal using Triton Connect
Software Release release 1.8 or above.
•
Receipt Printer Graphics
Triton Connect Software Release 1.8 or higher allows a bit-mapped graphic image in “.bmp”
format to be downloaded to the terminal. This graphic is printed on the receipt when the
PRINTED GRAPHIC option is enabled through the Management Functions. This feature
requires the addition of a Memory Expansion Module.

SECTION 2 - FEATURES
•
Prize Coupons Option
The Terminal may be configured to award “prize coupons”
to customers on a random chance or a withdrawal amountdetermined basis. Coupons are awarded as printed messages
presented to the customer on a separate receipt. The messages consist of four lines of text, with up to 40 characters in
each line. The text of the message is entered from the
terminal’s keypad.
There are two methods of awarding coupons. The RANDOM approach awards coupons randomly within a specified percentage range (such as 3% of transactions) set in the
management Functions.
MODEL 9200 SUPERSCRIPTM OPERATION MANUAL
Figure 2-6. Prize Coupons.
The LEVEL approach awards a coupon to each customer that withdraws an amount equal to or
greater than a specific dollar value that is set in the Management Functions.
When a coupon is awarded, the Terminal beeps a distinctive tone, displays a message to alert
the customer and prints a coupon after the money is dispensed (but before the customer receipt
is printed). The prize coupon is printed on a separate receipt and a full cut is made between the
coupon and the customer receipt.
•
Color Display Option
The Terminal can be equipped with an optional color LCD display. As with the standard grayscale display, the customer is guided through a transaction by selecting various options from
menus that are presented on the LCD. Additionally, the terminal has the capability of displaying promotional information (AD Screens) in color while it is idle or when the customer is
waiting for a transaction to be completed.
•
Triton Connect
tm
Triton Connect is an optional software package available through your service provider that
facilitates remote data retrieval and monitoring of your Triton Systems Terminal. The advantages of this feature are reduced service calls and simplified terminal configuration changes,
which in turn provides more immediate and economical service for you.
The Triton Connect software runs on a remote host computer, and uses standard dial-up telephone lines to access and monitor the terminal. Triton Connect operates by dialing up the
terminal and retrieving its data.
TRITON SYSTEMS, INC.
2-7
MODEL 9200 SUPERSCRIPTM OPERATION MANUAL
SECTION 2 - FEATURES
The Triton Connect host computer can monitor your Terminal 24 hours a day, seven days a
week, and can receive an incoming call from the Terminal if there is a system error or service is
required.
The Terminal Configuration options in the Management Functions area enable you to activate
or deactivate Triton Connect access to the terminal.
Key information about the status of the terminal is collected and stored at a central location by
your service provider. With this data, customer transaction reports can be developed that make
it easy to monitor your Terminal’s performance, schedule cash replenishment, and provide
instant status for service dispatch should a problem occur.
•
Extended Amounts
The standard length of a currency amount entry field is 6 characters in U. S. domestic versions
of the terminal operating software. In some international applications this length is insufficient
to allow the entry of the full range of monetary values available in the local currency type. The
Extended Amounts feature allows the selection of 12-character currency amount entry fields
for those applications that require it.
Once selected, the Terminal can accept the entry of extended amounts for customer withdrawal
and transfer transactions. The feature is activated using the terminal’s Management Functions.
•
Date/Time Format
This option allows the operator to select either MM/DD/YY or DD/MM/YY as the format the
terminal will use when printing receipts and other reports.
•
Dispense Counter
This features counts the number of bills that have been dispensed from the currency cassette
and prints the total on the Receipt Printer Test report

SECTION 3 - OPERATIONAND SETUP
BASIC OPERATION
This chapter describes the basic operation and setup of the Terminal.
MENU-BASED OPERATION
The Terminal operates as a menu driven system. Messages and menu options presented on the
LCD display screen guide the user’s actions. The desired menu option is selected by pressing one
of the screen keys located to the left and right of the display (see Figure 3-2). For the purpose of
security many screens timeout after a preset time interval, usually 30 seconds. The timeout length
may vary depending on the function being performed.
When a screen timeout occurs, a screen is presented which asks the user if more time is needed. If
the user chooses NO, the Customer Welcome screen will be presented. If YES is chosen, the user
is returned to the function that was active prior to the timeout. If the user does not make a selection
within an additional 30-second countdown period the Terminal will automatically go to the Customer Welcome screen.
Figure 3-1. The TOP MENU display.
When the unit is turned on, the dispenser will beep once and the Top Menu, shown in Figure 3-1,
will appear on the display screen after a few seconds. From the Top Menu, you can either:
1.) Activate the Terminal to perform customer transactions by pressing the key next to CUSTOMER TRANSACTIONS.
TRITON SYSTEMS, INC.

SECTION 3 - OPERATIONAND SETUP
MODEL 9200 SUPERSCRIPTM OPERATION MANUAL
2.) Enter the Terminal system management area by
pressing the key next to MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS.
If you do not select a menu choice within 30 seconds
the Terminal will automatically default to the Customer
Welcome screen (a benefit of this feature is that in the
event of a power interruption the terminal will automatically begin accepting customer transactions shortly
after power is restored).
KEYPAD OPERATION
The user interface of the Terminal consists of the LCD
display and 24 rubber keys on three keypads. The primary menu navigation keys are arranged in two fourkey groups, one group on either side of the LCD display. The main keypad consists of 10 alphanumeric
keys, two arrow keys and four large control keys, all
located in a 16-key group beneath the LCD display.
SCREEN KEYS
ALPHANUMERIC KEYS
Figure 3-2. Terminal Keypad.
BLUE KEY
All of the keys that a customer would use to conduct
transactions have an integral raised Braille symbol to conform to the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. To activate a key, press it until a beep is heard. If the key does not beep,
it means that the key is not active for the current function, or the key was not pressed firmly
enough.
The entry of numeric characters via the keypad is straightforward: simply press the desired key.
However, in certain management function screens it may be necessary to enter alphabetic characters, a procedure that requires a little more explanation. On such screens a flashing cursor will be
evident on the display, representing the location where the next character you enter will be displayed. To enter a letter or punctuation mark, you will first press the <BLUE> key, and then you
will press the number that has the letter or other character you want.
Each of the numbered keys (<0> through <9>) has six characters available. See Figure 3-3,
Alphanumeric Keypad, and Table 3-1, Keypad Characters. On most of these keys (<2> through
<9>), the first three of the available characters are alphabetic, and are printed on the keycap above
the number character. Two keys, the <0> and <1>, are different. The <0> key does not show any
additional characters, while the <1> key shows two alphabetic characters (‘QZ’).

The <RIGHT ARROW> and <LEFT ARROW> keys are used in most alphanumeric data entry
situations. The <LEFT ARROW> is used to back up and erase a character. The <RIGHT ARROW>
is used to lock in a character. These keys will auto-repeat if held down for more than one second.
The <CHANGE> key can be used to clear an entry and start over. The <CANCEL> key will abort
the current transaction.
The keys located beside the display are called the Screen Keys. They are used in the selection of
menu functions. A Screen Key is only active when a function or menu option name is displayed
beside the key.
CHANGING TO MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS
You can enter the terminal MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS main menu screen by performing any
one of the three procedures listed below:
1. The Customer Welcome screen shows an animation of a hand inserting and removing a
card, with a message describing how to begin a transaction. If this screen is being displayed, press and hold down the <BLUE> key; while holding down the <BLUE> key,
press the <1> key. Release both keys. After a moment the Top Menu screen (shown in
Figure 3-1) will be displayed. Select the MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS option.
2. Reset the Terminal by pressing and releasing the Reset Switch found on the front panel of
the Memory Module, which is located in the card cage inside the upper enclosure of the
terminal. When the Top Menu is displayed select MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS.
3. Remove and then reapply power to the terminal using the ON/OFF switch located on the
right side of the card cage inside the upper enclosure of the terminal. When the Top Menu
is displayed select MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS.
The Top Menu allows you to choose one of two options, CUSTOMER TRANSACTIONS or
MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS. Selecting CUSTOMER TRANSACTIONS changes the display
to the Customer Welcome screen so the Terminal is ready to perform customer transactions. Selecting MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS opens the password screen, which in turn provides access
to menus that are used for changing or viewing terminal parameters.
Whenever the MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS choice is selected, the Terminal will ask for a password to be entered. For a first-time configuration, enter the default MASTER PASSWORD of
’123456’ on the keypad and then press the <OK> key. This ‘default’ password will be valid until
TRITON SYSTEMS,

INC.
MODEL 9200 SUPERSCRIPTM OPERATION MANUAL
it is changed.
SECTION 3 - OPERATIONAND SETUP
**NOTE**
The operator of the Terminal must change the MASTER PASSWORD
to a new number when the installation is complete.
The Top Menu serves an alternative purpose in the event of a machine malfunction or other error
condition. Such conditions are normally reported by an “OUT OF SERVICE” message screen.
The typical response to this message is to reset the Terminal. After resetting the Terminal the
Top Menu screen will display any applicable status messages and error code numbers.
The two options presented in such instances will be RESET ERROR and MANAGEMENT
FUNCTIONS. Press RESET ERROR to attempt to clear the error, or enter the MANAGEMENT
FUNCTIONS area, as desired. See Section 8, Error Recovery, for more information.
INITIAL TERMINAL CONFIGURATION
There are a number of configuration parameters that must be set when a Terminal is installed.
These parameters do not need to be set in any particular order, but they MUST be entered into the
Terminal to enable customer transactions to take place. Once they are set, they are retained internally, even when the Terminal is turned off.
Detailed procedures describing the step-by-step setup of each terminal parameter are located in
Section 5 of this manual.
•
Terminal Number
The TERMINAL NUMBER is a unique string of alphanumeric characters (numbers and/or
letters) that identifies your Terminal to the processor. The TERMINAL NUMBER is assigned
to your Terminal by your processor
The TERMINAL NUMBER and TELEPHONE NUMBER MUST be set before the Terminal
can go on-line and before the communications key can be downloaded.
•
Telephone Number
The Terminal communicates to your host processor over a dial up phone line. The phone
number of the processor must be entered before live transactions can be performed.
TRITON SYSTEMS, INC.
3-6
MODEL 9200 SUPERSCRIPTM OPERATION MANUAL
SECTION 3 - OPERATIONAND SETUP
•
Surcharge Mode
Some networks allow a surcharge, or terminal fee, to be imposed on withdrawal transactions.
If surcharges are in use on your network, you are required to notify the customer of the possibility of an additional fee before the transaction is processed. The customer must be given a
chance to cancel the transaction.
Setting the SURCHARGE MODE to ENABLED will cause the surcharge warning screen to be
displayed after the customer’s card is inserted. The surcharge warning screen notifies the
customer of a possible fee and its amount. The customer is given the opportunity to cancel the
transaction at no charge or to accept the surcharge and continue with the transaction.
If your network does not allow surcharges, the SURCHARGE MODE must be set to DISABLED.
The amount of the surcharge is stored in the Terminal and displayed to the customer. The
SURCHARGE AMOUNT displayed on the screen can be set manually via the SURCHARGE
AMOUNT menu. In some cases this value is downloaded from the processor at the same time
the communications key is downloaded.
Manually changing the SURCHARGE AMOUNT to a different value does not automatically
change the surcharge collected by the processor for a transaction. It will only change the
surcharge in the surcharge-warning message shown to the customer and NOT the actual fee
collected for the transaction, so be sure the values are the same AND are accurate!
•
MAC Master/Working Keys
The MAC Master and Working keys are only used if an optional Secure Pin Entry
Device (SPED) keypad has been installed and MAC-ing is being implemented.
The MAC MASTER KEY is used to decrypt the MAC WORKING KEY. Each key is a 16character string, consisting of a combination of the digits 0-9 and the letters A-F. The MAC
MASTER KEY may be injected from a personal computer (using a special floppy disk), or
entered manually at the keypad.

MODEL 9200 SUPERSCRIPTM OPERATION MANUAL
SECTION 3 - OPERATIONAND SETUP
•
PIN Master/Working Keys
The PIN MASTER KEY is used to decrypt the PIN WORKING KEY. The Pin MASTER
KEY was referred to as the MASTER KEY in previous versions of ATM operating software.
The PIN WORKING KEY was referred to as the COMMUNICATIONS (COMMS) KEY.
Each key is a 16-character string, consisting of a combination of the digits 0-9 and the letters
A-F. The PIN MASTER KEY may be entered manually, or may be injected from a personal
computer, using a special floppy disk. The PIN WORKING KEY may be entered manually
or downloaded from the processor.
ADDITIONAL SETUP PARAMETERS
In addition to the configuration parameters described in the previous paragraphs, there are several
other parameters that will need to be entered into the Terminal to complete its setup. The procedures for setting each of these parameters are found in Section 5 of this manual. Some parameters
are processor-specific and may not be available for all locations.
•
Maximum Amount
The maximum withdrawal limit must be entered into the Terminal before any transactions can
be completed. This number is the largest dollar amount allowed for a single withdrawal transaction. The MAXIMUM AMOUNT may be set from $1 to $999 in increments of $1 and must
be set to a multiple of the denomination of the currency in the cassette. Factory default is set to
$500.00. The value must be a whole dollar amount only.
Whenever a withdrawal transaction is processed, the amount entered or selected is compared to
the MAXIMUM AMOUNT parameter. If the entry is larger, an error message warns the user

SETUP PARAMETERS LISTING
Table 3-2, SuperScrip Terminal Setup Parameters, lists all of the operator-configurable parameters
accessible through the Management Functions. References to the specific pages in Section 5, Management Functions, are provided to help quickly locate the description and applicable setup instructions for each parameter. In most cases the factory default value of each parameter is also
provided.
Although many of the parameters have been set at the factory, it is important to verify that the
settings are appropriate. Certain default values are merely ‘place holders’ and should be changed
to reflect the actual settings and values required. Review the table and take the time to make the
necessary changes and updates as needed to ensure the terminal is completely setup, customized
for its intended application, and ready to operate.
