Card Functionality

Depending on the card issuer, a payment card may incorporate Chip and/or Stripe and/or Contactless functionality.  The card entry method at the POS (see below) determines which functionality is used and how the card interfaces with the POS device.  

Card Entry at the POS

To use Chip functionality:
When the SWIPE OR INSERT CARD prompt displays , you or the customer insert the card into the terminal chip reader.   

To use Stripe functionality:
When the SWIPE CARD prompt or the SWIPE OR INSERT CARD prompt displays , swipe the card on the terminal’s magnetic stripe reader.  

Note: Contactless functionality is not available on the 8200 terminal.

Manual Entry: If all available Card Entry methods fail, you may manually enter the Card number for credit cards and some debit chip cards: When SWIPE CARD or SWIPE OR INSERT CARD displays, simply key in the Card number on the terminal, and press OK.
