INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your choice of the LinkPoint AIO (All-In-One) point-of-sale (POS)
terminal. The LinkPoint AIO (All-In-One) terminal is ideal for all transaction processing
needs. Scientifically engineered to exceed the quality found in current terminal
technology, the LinkPoint AIO combines user-friendly operation with “soft,”
programmable functions. The screen-addressable keys and an innovative backlit display
panel make terminal operation quick and easy. Its high-speed, integrated thermal printer
streamlines sales, installation and merchant operation. The terminal also contains
additional serial ports for PIN pads, check readers and other peripherals.
This portion of the manual explains how to unpack and install your terminal, and how to
make sure that it is operating properly.
LinkPoint AIO (All-In-One) Terminal
Figure 1
This manual includes step-by-step guides through specific transactions and operations,
and shows how to keep the terminal in peak operating condition. Words that appear in
capital letters and brackets, [LIKE THIS], stand for keys on the terminal keypad. Words
that appear in capital letters without brackets, LIKE THIS, stand for display messages.
Printers
The LinkPoint AIO terminal supports a high speed, integrated thermal printer. The fixed
thermal print head adds to reliability with the print speed at 14 lines per second. Paper
loading uses a patented trouble free drop-in loading system.
PIN pad Devices
The application programmed in the LinkPoint AIO terminal supports LinkPoint BankPoint
and VeriFone 1000 and 2000 PIN pads for debit transactions. PIN pads attach easily to
the PIN pad connector on the back of the terminal (please refer to the PIN pad
manufacturer manual for installation and operating instructions). DUKPT encryption
method is supported. Please disconnect the power pack before installing the PIN
pad to avoid hardware or software failure.

GETTING STARTED
Unpacking
Carefully inspect the shipping carton and its contents for any damage that may have
occurred during shipping. If the terminal is damaged, file a claim immediately with the
shipping company or carrier and notify your service provider. Do not try to use a
damaged terminal!
To unpack the LinkPoint AIO (All-In-One) terminal:
With the shipping carton right side up, open the carton’s lid.
Remove the terminal, the telephone line cord and the white box containing the AC power
supply and power cord from the main terminal box.
Remove the terminal from its protective bubble wrap and place the bubble wrap back in
the shipping carton. Remove the AC adapter from its protective box and return the box to
the shipping carton. Close the shipping carton and save the shipping materials so that
the unit can be repackaged for later shipping or moving.
Place the terminal on a desk or tabletop. When choosing a place for the LinkPoint AIO
(All-In-One) terminal, avoid areas with:
♦Direct sunlight or objects that radiate heat
♦Excessive dust
♦Electrical devices that cause excessive voltage variations, such as air conditioners,
space heaters, fans or high-frequency security devices

Installation
Installing the LinkPoint AIO (All-In-One) terminal is simple and requires no tools.
1. Find the power input on the back of the terminal near the paper tray (see Figure 3).
Figure 3
Connect the male AC adapter plug to the power connector at the rear of the terminal
(see Figure 4). The black sleeve that surrounds the plug has a round area that is
unmarked and a flat area that is marked with an arrow. In order to connect the power
adapter, the plug must be turned so that the flat area of the sleeve is facing down. The
sleeve acts as a lock to secure the plug to the terminal. Please note that if the cord must
be disconnected from the terminal, the sleeve must be slid back in order to disconnect
the plug.
Figure 4
2. Plug the adapter into either a surge suppressor, which is recommended, or a 120-
volt electrical outlet (see Figure 5).
Figure 5
Connect one end of the telephone line cord into one of the modular jacks underneath the
terminal. Thread the phone cord through its designated channel (see Figure 6). Insert
the other end of the cord into a modular telephone wall jack, just as you would to
connect a telephone. The modular plug may be inserted directly into the wall jack, into a

four-prong adapter (not included) for use with older jacks or into a surge suppressor
equipped with a phone jack (not included, but recommended).
Note: You may connect a standard telephone to the other modular jack underneath
the terminal.
Figure 6
When the terminal is plugged in, it will display an idle message (i.e., SWIPE CARD FOR
SALE or APP. NOT AVAILABLE).
Printer
The LinkPoint AIO (All-In-One) terminal includes an integrated thermal printer that is
ready for immediate use. Once the terminal is plugged in and the telephone cord is
connected, gently pop the latch (Figure 7), open the cover (Figure 8), load the printer
with a roll of thermal paper (Figure 9) and close the cover. The cover can be closed
either by pressing on the side tabs (Figure 10) or the center of the printer cover (Figure
11). Use the serrated bar to tear off any excess paper (Figure 12), and the integrated
printer is ready to use.

Maintenance
Your LinkPoint AIO (All-In-One) terminal does not need preventive maintenance.
However, LinkPoint International does recommend periodically cleaning the keypad,
display panel and paper holder with a mild liquid cleaner applied to a cloth towel. Do not
spray cleaning solutions directly on the device as they can damage it.
To avoid costly downtime, LinkPoint International also recommends protecting your
terminal with a surge suppressor as noted previously.
Returning the Terminal for Service
To repair or replace your LinkPoint AIO (All-In-One) terminal, contact your service
provider or sales representative for instructions. Be sure to mention the serial number on
the bottom of your terminal.
CAUTION: Do not try to service, adjust or repair the LinkPoint AIO (All-In-One) terminal
yourself; doing so will void your warranty.
The Terminal Display Panel
Each LinkPoint AIO (All-In-One) terminal has a built-in display panel that is capable of
showing up to 20 characters per line (see Figure 13). The two-line display panel is
backlit to enhance readability, and it easily accommodates most messages. The
LinkPoint AIO (All-In-One) terminal also includes a scrolling feature that allows you to
read messages longer than 20 characters.

The Card Reader
The LinkPoint AIO (All-In-One) terminal comes equipped with a dual-track magnetic card
reader (see Figure 14), allowing the terminal to perform functions on both tracks. The
card reader collects all data from the magnetic stripe on the back of all major credit
cards and bankcards including the cardholder’s account number, expiration date and
name. The standard terminal card reader collects data from tracks 1 and 2 of the
magnetic stripe; a hardware option to collect data from track 3 is also available.

The card reader saves time and eliminates mistakes that can occur when typing
information directly onto the keypad. Remember the following tips when using the card
reader:
Check the display panel for an idle message. If it is not displayed, wait until the current
operation has ended and then press [CLEAR] to return to the idle message.
1. Select the correct transaction type.
2. Insert a card into the card reader slot, with the magnetic stripe facing down and to
the right of the terminal (see Figures 14 and 15 below).
Slide the card in either direction through the slot without stopping. If the terminal beeps,
check the position of the magnetic stripe and slide the card through the slot again. If the
beep persists, the card may be damaged, requiring you to type the account number
directly on the keypad.
3. Complete the transaction by following the display panel messages.
Figure 14 Figure 15
Note: Cards can be swiped horizontally. The user must, however, face the magnetic
stripe of the card down and away from the keypad to process a transaction.
Entering Alphanumeric Data from the Keypad
The LinkPoint AIO keypad has 30 keys that can be used to enter as many as 52 different
alphanumeric characters. To enter numbers and special characters (i.e., +) simply press
the appropriate key. Alpha characters can be entered in one of two modes: single or
locked. The “single” mode is selected by pressing the [ALPHA] key once followed by the
corresponding character key. For example, to enter the letter “A” press [ALPHA] [VOID]
and “A” will display. The “locked” mode is selected by pressing the [ALPHA] key twice
followed by the corresponding character keys. For example, to enter the word
“LINKPOINT” press [ALPHA] [ALPHA] [2] [REVIEW] [÷] [1] [5] [4] [REVIEW] [÷] [8] and
“LINKPOINT” will appear. To release the “locked” upper case mode, press the [ALPHA]
key once.
The keypad design, chart and definitions for the LinkPoint AIO begin on the next page.
