Credit Card Scanners
Many retail businesses and restaurants use credit card scanners to get instant
approval of credit card purchases. The system allows your credit card scanners to
share the lines in your system (as shown in Figure 4-7). You can install the credit
card scanner on an extension by itself, or combine it with a system phone or a
standard phone on the same extension (see “Combination Extensions” in the
PARTNER Advanced Communications System Installation
guide).
Using Credit Card Scanners
When you make a call on the credit card scanner, an outside line is automatically
selected. If you combine the credit card scanner with a system phone or standard
phone, you cannot use the phone while the credit card scanner is operating. You
can use only one of the devices at a time.
Programming Credit Card Scanners
1. If extension X is a key extension, use Line Assignment (#301) to assign
the lines you want the scanner to use to extension X.
If extension X is a pooled extension, use Pool Extension Assignment
(#314) to assign the pools you want the scanner to use to extension X. Also
use Line Assignment (#301) to assign any individual lines you want the
scanner to use to extension X.
2. Set Automatic Line Selection for extension X to select the pools and
outside lines that the scanner is to use.
3. Set Automatic Extension Privacy (#304) for extension X to Assigned.
4. Make sure extension X is not assigned as a Call Waiting (#316) extension.
5. If the scanner has an auto answer feature, turn it off.
6. For multiple scanners, repeat Steps 1–5 for each extension.
