Certain Cards can be configured as Manager Cards in BbTS. Inserting/removing a valid Manager Card
when the AC3100 is in the idle mode (not in a transaction sequence), displays the manager card menu.
Manager functions:
Display/print transaction totals
This option displays and prints transaction totals. It is intended to be used to create a local Audit report on
the transactions each time the bill box is emptied or swapped out with an empty one.
When totals display on the LCD, the manager has the option of clearing the interval totals. If the bills are
being removed, it is recommended to clear the totals and attach a copy of the Audit printout with the bills
for later audit.
These totals can be displayed/printed and not cleared if desired. If multiple copies of the audit printout are
desired, the totals can be displayed/printed several times and only clearing them the last time.
Terminal setup
This option is used to adjust the display brightness and the volume of the tones.
Display device status information
This option displays the AC3100 status information. The display includes information on the
communication status with the host (on-line of off-line, etc.), any out-of-service conditions and status of the
printer, bill validator, and card dispenser.
