If an optional Moneris iPP320 external PINpad is
connected to the iCT250 terminal and your merchant
account is configured for it, the customer uses the PINpad
to input transaction information when prompted.

on the iCT250 terminal, pass the iPP320 PINpad to
your customer.
• The customer follows the prompts on the PINpad.
• For contactless transactions, the “TAP CARD” prompt
always appears on the PINpad.
• Keep the iCT250 terminal in front of you to
complete the transaction.

the card type (see Transaction $ Limits on the Config
Report on page 22).
Note: If a credit card is tapped for an amount that
exceeds its maximum CDV, the terminal or PINpad
will display “CONTACTLESS TRANSACTION LIMIT
EXCEEDED” (see message on page 30).
• Debit Cards: The maximum CDV is determined by
the card and does not appear on any report.
Note: If a debit card is tapped for an amount that
exceeds its maximum CDV, the terminal or PINpad
will display “TAP FAILED PLEASE INSERT OR SWIPE
CARD” (see message on page 32).
IMPORTANT:
• The card must have one of these labels:
Visa payWave or MasterCard PayPass or
Amex ExpressPay or Interac Flash.
• The card must be within 0.5 in. (1.3 cm) of the
screen, but it does not have to touch it.
• The card must be tapped or waved by itself
