Card reader parameter
If the cash card is to be used for several functions (payment, customer identification, card initialization, etc.), a data record with the appropriate card parameters must be stored in program Branch -> Card reader parameter. The event "CASHCARD" should be entered in field "Simulated key". The magnetic track is read by the Evis Cash Card terminal device as from position 0 up to a length of 157 bytes. Both fields are used accordingly for the field length.

Simulated key: CASHCARD
Offset field 1: = 0
Length field 1: = 99
Offset field 2: = 99
Length field 2: = 58
Card initialization
The Card initialization (writing the card data "Customer no.", "Price level") of a cash card is done with keyboard event <INITCASHCARD>. The customer can then be selected with key event <MCUST>, <NACAPTURE>, <CUSTOMER>. When key <ST> is depressed the entry of the customer no. can be ignored. Entry of the price level (0 to 5) is then requested. The entered value must be confirmed with the <ST> key.
Customer identification
The cash card can be used at the beginning and during a receipt transaction to identify the customer. If the customer is not included in the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS database (new customer), all positions of the receipt will be voided and re-recorded. In such a case the price level stored on the cash card will be used for item recording.
Amount top-up
Loading the cash card with a specific amount is done with key event <fPAYINCARD>. Enter the amount and the no. of the finance type which has been programmed for topping up cash cards. The cash card is then swiped. If a write error is made, the transaction will be discontinued.
A finance type Paid in must be stored in the system for topping up cash cards. The parameter Receipt predepression must be set for this finance type.
Payment with a payment type
A payment type of category "Cash card" must be set in the system to deal with the settlement of payments with a cash card. The correct ISO exchange rate must also be programmed.
Reading card information
The data of the cash card can be called up at the terminal with key event <READCASHCARD>. The card data is printed out on the receipt with key <ST>.
