GETTING STARTED Descartes Corp, Inc. 2 P2000 GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION The P2000 terminal is designed for processing credit cards. Please observe the following guidelines to prolong the life of the unit. • For safety, this terminal must be installed and serviced only by Descartes Representative or your Merchant Service Provider’s Agent. • Do not operate the P2000 terminal until a Descartes Representative has trained you. • Operate this terminal according to the instructions in this manual. • Protect this terminal from liquid spills, dust and sharp objects. • Do not submerge the terminal. • Avoid operating this terminal in locations where it may be splashed with acid or other chemicals. • Do not place any foreign objects into the cardreader or into the jacks of this terminal. • Make sure all cables are connected securely. • Do not attempt to dismantle the unit. Doing so will void your warranty. • Protect your terminal by installing a surge protection device. Electrical disturbances on the phone lines or power lines can damage your terminal, costing you time and money. Radio Frequency Exposure Warning The P2000 Models CDPD, Mobitex, Datapac (Motient) and GSM use radio frequencies to execute the transactions. Warning to users: To meet FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile transmitter . Avoid operating these models with the antenna closer than 23cm from the operator, to minimize exposure to those radio frequencies. Do not use your P2000 terminal with a damaged antenna. Replace a damaged antenna immediately with a manufacturer approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications or attachments could damage the P2000 terminal and may contravene local RF emission regulations or void type approval.

Its simplicity and flexibility allow it to meet the needs of the most common form of payment: credit. We know you will feel comfortable with your P2000 terminal (see Figure 1) once you begin to use it and become familiar with its many features. This manual will lead you step-by-step through specific transactions and operations, and show you how to keep your terminal in peak operating condition. Figure 1 Note: In this manual, words that appear in brackets <like this> stand for keys on your terminal keyboard. Words that appear in brackets [like this] stand for Display Messages.
TERMINAL FEATURES TERMINAL FEATURES Accessories Descartes provides an assortment of accessories to enhance your P2000 terminal. Descartes offers: • Paper and other replacement supplies you can order by phone: (800) 510-0120 • Pedestal Mount for carrying the P2000 in a vehicle • Spare Batteries • Holster for carrying the P2000 over your shoulder • 12 Volt Car adaptor • Ear Bud/ microphone for GSM Model
TERMINAL FEATURES Descartes Corp, Inc. 6 P2000 Hardware Features The Display Panel Each P2000 terminal has a built-in back lit display panel, which can display as many as 32 letters or numbers at a time (see Figure 2). The bright display is easy to read and the plastic screen reduces glare. The 32-character display will accommodate all system messages. Figure 2 The Card Reader The P2000 terminal includes an ABA (American Bankers Association) Track 1 and Track 2 magnetic card reader. The card reader reads the Cardholder’s account number, expiration date, and security data from the magnetic strip on the back of all major bank and credit cards. Note: When you slide the card through the card reader, the magnetic strip should be facing down and away from the keyboard.
TERMINAL FEATURES The Keyboard and Key Functions You communicate with the P2000 terminal through the terminal’s keyboard (see Figure 3). The keyboard lets you choose the type of transaction and enter the data you need. Figure 3 As Figure 3 illustrates, your P2000 terminal keyboard has 17 keys that can select numbers, enter letters or special characters, choose functions, advance paper, and enter data. During transactions, you use the number keys to respond to messages or to enter numeric data. When a prompt on the display is surrounded by < > you may use the <←> and <→> keys on the terminal to cycle through different options.
TERMINAL FEATURES Descartes Corp, Inc. 8 P2000 The “S” (think select), allows you to toggle between the available applications of the P2000, For example: Kernel or payment. It also allows you to enter Alpha characters in your terminal. To use the terminal functions, press the <fct> key followed by the desired function number. When you need to enter letters, follow the steps in the “Alphanumeric Data Entry” section on pages 10-12 of this manual.
CREDIT CARD AWARENESS CREDIT CARD AWARENESS Credit card acceptance practice requires the following procedures: 1. The card must be either manually entered and imprinted, or swiped (slid through the terminal card reader). 2. Keying in transactions manually can raise your discount rate and increase the risk of fraud. Swipe cards through the card reader to maintain the lowest possible rate. 3. The Cardholder must sign the charge slip or printed receipt. 4. The transaction batch in the terminal MUST be closed daily. Note: If you do not obtain the Cardholder’s signature on the swiped or manually imprinted paperwork, you may lose your charge back rights. MasterCard and Visa require you to save this paperwork in date order for at least three years. Credit card fraud is at an all time high. Knowing what to look for will assist you in identifying a counterfeit card. Follow the steps outlined below when you accept a Cardholder’s credit card. • Compare the signature on the Cardholder’s ID with that on the back of the credit card and on the receipt. • Check the appearance of the card to see if it has been fabricated or tampered with. Uneven numbering, a false logo, or a hologram that doesn’t “move” can all be signs of a counterfeit card. • Compare the number embossed on the card with the number printed on the sales slip; altered account numbers often show ghosted images. • When accepting a Visa card, check the printed bank ID number above the account number (A four-digit prefix number should match the first four (4) digits of the embossed account number).
CREDIT CARD AWARENESS Descartes Corp, Inc. 10 P2000 • If the card doesn’t read when you slide it through the terminal and you have to key the numbers in manually, you must use the manual imprinter. Even when the electronic printer prints a receipt, the Customer must sign both the printed receipt and the manually imprinted slip. The two slips should be stapled together. • Check both the start and expiration dates on the card. The card is not valid before the start date or after the expiration date. • When you swipe the card, the terminal may ask you to enter the last four (4) numbers of the card. This protects you, the Merchant, against re-encoded cards. If your terminal does not have this feature, call Customer Service to turn on this feature. • If you are instructed to recover a card, attempt the recovery by reasonable and peaceful means. Then notify the authorization center at (800) 228-1122 for further instructions.
BASIC OPERATION BASIC OPERATION This section describes how to perform some of the basic operations of the P2000 terminal. These operations are performed after the initial startup has been completed. Using the Card reader The card reader saves time and avoids the mistakes that can occur when typing long account numbers directly onto the keyboard. It also provides an extra measure of security against credit card fraud. 1. Insert the credit card at either end into the beginning of the card reader slot with the magnetic strip facing down and away from the keyboard. Slide the card through the slot with a smooth motion without stopping. If the display responds with a read error, wipe off and check the insertion position of the magnetic strip. Try sliding the card through the slot again. If the display still responds with a read error, the magnetic strip may be worn or damaged. 2. To manually enter the card number and expiration date, press the <←> or <→> key to cycle through the transaction types. Press <ENTER> to select the necessary transaction. You may also select the numeric key associated with the transaction for direct access. (See Table 3) Key in the card number and expiration date and press <ENTER> after each entry. If you make a mistake keying in the digits, press the < C > key to clear the error and proceed. 3. Enter the transaction amount. Press <ENTER>. 5. Complete the transaction by having the cardholder sign the Merchant Copy receipt. Press <ENTER> and present the RE-PRINT receipt to the customer 6. To protect your charge back rights, we recommend that anytime you manually enter a card number in a terminal, you also take a card imprint and get it signed by the cardholder. Staple the imprint to the printed receipt, and save for you records
