Process a transaction
The process below outlines a transaction with the Cashier Kiosk.
1. At the Amount Due screen, the customer informs the attendant they’re paying cash.
2. The attendant scans their employee barcode. To learn how to set up an employee barcode, refer to Set Up an Employee Barcode.
3. On the Enter Amount screen, the attendant enters the amount tendered or taps Exactly if the exact amount is provided.
4. If the amount tendered is more than the amount due, the Cash Change screen appears to ensure the attendant gives the correct change amount.
5. The attendant taps Go, then the gate vends. If the kiosk is at the exit, the exit screen appears and gives the option to print a receipt for the parker.
If in PrePay mode at entry, the kiosk prints a barcoded transient ticket after prepayment is made. The parker scans this ticket on exit to leave the facility.
