Basic transaction
This is what should normally happen during a normal sale or donation.
- Display should say "FREE GEEK". If not, hit the CLEAR button
- Get the credit card from the customer.
- Slide card with magnetic stripe to the outside (right)
- Enter amount without decimals and then hit the blue ENTER key
- For instance enter $15.75 as 1575 ENTER
- Wait for system to complete receipt. This could take a little time.
- Use this time to ask if they want an itemized (FGdb) receipt
- Do not actually complete the sale in the database until the credit card transaction has cleared.
- Do not return the credit card to the customer yet.
- The credit card machine will print out a two layer receipt for the customer to sign. (Don't tear it off until you see the signature line.)
- Finish FGdb transaction (and print itemized receipt if desired).
- Have the customer sign the receipt.
- Compare signature to back of credit card.
- Give customer the credit card and yellow copy of the receipt.
- Put white copy of receipt with checks in drawer.
- Press CLEAR button to get back to main screen.

Questions
