Assembling the POS Station

1. Begin with the cash drawer
   1. Typically, the cash drawer will act as a “base” beneath the Touch Dynamic Razor POS unit.
   2. Ensure that one end of the data cable is connected to the data port in the Cash Drawer (the other end will go to the receipt printer.)
      
   3. If locked, unlock the cash drawer
2. Attach DC cord to the Touch Dynamic Razor POS unit.
3. Attach ethernet cable to POS unit and network jack
4. Power on POS unit using button on lower right of base
5. Keyboard and Mouse combo
   1. Install Keyboard/Mouse USB dongle to user-facing USB on the Razor computer
   2. Pull the battery tab and turn on both the mouse and keyboard
6. Epson Receipt Printer
   1. Attach the USB-B cable to the back of the Epson receipt printer and attach the other end to an available USB-A port.                
      
   2. Attach the power adaptor to the AC power and the printer
   3. Attach the free end of the Cash Drawer data cable to the data port on the Epson printer
   4. Load the printer with a roll of paper                                  
      
   5. Power on the Receipt Printer
      
7. Attach the Datalogic QD4230 handheld scanner to an available USB-A port.
8. Attach the  Credit Card Reader  
   1. Connect an Ethernet cable to the square (generally red) RJ-45 connector and to an internal networking jack. The device does not physically connect to the Razor POS terminal.
      
   2. USB connection is not needed
   3. Serial connection is not needed
   4. Connect the AC power cord
      
   5. The device will automatically power on
   6. On initial setup, the CC reader will initiate a firmware/software update when powered on. This will require the CC reader to have the ability to acquire an IP via DHCP over ethernet cable. Upon completion of the update, the CC reader will have a designated Static IP address configured and further testing will require the use of that Static IP address for connectivity.

Configuring Peripherals and Software

1. Windows Admin login creation is prompted on first setup, username and password should be set to a known value determined by your administrator.
   1. Create the Admin account using a login and password provided by your company administrator. Go through windows set-up.
2. Rename the Machine
   1. In Windows settings go to System > About > Rename this PC
   2. Change the Computer name using the following schema Store Name or abbreviation-Store Number-Register number (Example: JIMSMARKET-01-001. Second register in the same store would be JIMSMARKET-01-002, third JIMSMARKET-01-003)
   3. If FieldStack provided a device list/Qickkey list ahead of time, use those names/keys for each machine
3. Download Splashtop

Zebra Label Printer Connected Terminal
 (Terminal that has the Zebra Printer physically connected to it)

1. One POS machine should have a Zebra ZD410 price label printer attached
   1. Attach one end of the standard printer cable provided with the printer into the USB-B slot in the back and the other end into one of the USB-A ports on the back of the Razor POS system.
   2. Attach the AC power to the printer
      
   3. Open the printer with the side tabs and ensure that the calibration arrow is lined up in the correct orientation.                                                                        
      
   4. Load the Zebra label printer with a roll of 1” x 2” labels, being certain to feed the roll under the roll guides with labels facing upward.                                                                  
      
   5. Close the roll cover and power on the Zebra printer

    (If you also see a setting for Label Queue to monitor and print (Ver. 7.6 and earlier), leave that as 0.)
   
6. Click on Save Changes
   
   

Zebra Printer Non-Connected Terminals
 (Terminals that do not have the Zebra Printer physically connected to them)

1. Any terminals for the same location that will NOT have an attached Zebra Label Printer must be set up to push information from FieldStack to the Label Queue that is printing to the previously designated label printer-connected terminal.
2. Click on the settings Gear icon in the upper left corner of FieldStack
   
3. Click on Settings. Go to Basic tab.

    (If you also see a setting for Label Queue to monitor and print (Ver. 7.6 and earlier), leave that as 0.)
    
6. Click Save Changes

Full Sheet Printer Set-Up

1. If an existing full sheet desktop printer will be used for marketplace/BOPIS pick-lists and report printing, use the following set-up. (Note: This will have to be done from within the location by pairing with a discoverable printer.)
2. Click on the settings Gear icon in the upper left corner of FieldStack.
   
3. Click on Settings. Go to Basic tab.
4. Under Report Printer choose a printer that is networked within the location or physically attached to the terminal. (Note: If not networked, only a single connected terminal can print to that printer.)
     
5. Click Save Changes
   
    

 Credit Card Reader Set-Up

1. After connecting the  Credit Card Terminal, it should connect itself using DHCP and start updating from TSYS servers
2. After the update is complete, go to the next step
3. Go into the FieldStack settings menu in the upper left and go to Settings > Credit Card
4. Enter the MAC address (usually on the bottom of the TSYS CC reader) in the Terminal MAC Address field and click  Lookup IP by MAC. The IP address of the device should pull in and populate the Terminal IP Address field.
   
5. Once the boxes are populated, click Save.

Testing Peripherals and Software

1. Test the biometric fingerprint reader
   1. Log in using FieldStack login and password
   2. Use [ALT + END] to logout (the user logging out at this step is the user who’s fingerprint will be recorded in the next steps.)
   3. Place your thumb on the fingerprint scanner on the side of the device
   4. It will tell you that it is committing your fingerprint and ask you to press it again 3 or 4 times
       Note: This is interpreting your fingerprint and is not actually recording your fingerprint.
   5. When committed, the fingerprint will be filled in red and it will ask you to log in to save your information
   6. Enter your login and password to save your fingerprint information
   7. If successful, the fingerprint reader is working and you can side-step the keyboard for logins on this device (follow the same steps at each work station to enable it on all POS units)
2. Test the drawer open function
   1. Make sure the cash drawer is unlocked but closed
   2. In the lower right corner of the POS screen tap on Open Drawer or press the [+] key on the keyboard to open the drawer.
   3. Note: the cash drawer open function requires the receipt printer to be connected, powered-on, and loaded with paper. The drawer will not open if the receipt printer is in an error status.
3. Search for an item
   1. In the white search box in the upper right - above the $0.00 sale amount - enter the name of a common item
      
   2. A search result screen will come up showing various items with pricing, item type, and manufacturer.   This confirms that the database is connected.
      
4. Test the barcode scanner
   1. Scan a barcode of a common, in stock item. If that item comes up on screen, the scanner is working properly.
   2. If the item does not come up, try a second item in case the first item happens to be a very new item or something that was not in the database when the item list was imported.
5. Test the label printer
   1. On the POS Screen, tap on Enter Relabel Mode
       
   2. Make sure the radio button for New is selected (if your system deals with new/used items)
       
   3. Scan the barcode of a new, in stock item
   4. In the center, right-hand of the screen, tap on Relabel 1 Item or [+] on the keyboard
      
   5. A label should print out on the Zebra label printer that shows the item information, item price, item type, date of relabel, and a barcode for scanning that item at the POS
   6. If a label printed, the Zebra label printer is working properly
6. Do a test sale using Credit Card as a payment (recommended)
   Note: TSYS may have included a test Credit Card number with each machine.  If so, manually enter that number in the screen that appears after the charge amount.
   1. Look up “CREDIT TEST” in the search bar in the upper right. You should find a $0.01 item called “Credit test”
   2. Tap Select or Sell New (depending on your set-up) to add this item to the sale.
   3. In the lower right corner, tap on Credit Card or [F4] on the keyboard
      
   4. The Credit Card Amount box will pop up showing the 0.01 sale
      
   5. Press OK [Enter] to send the charge information to the CC reader 
   6. Insert or tap a credit card using the CC terminal
   7. The sale should process, and a receipt should print from the Epson receipt printer
      NOTE: It is not necessary to complete this sale if using a personal credit card is not preferred. As long as the terminal shows the amount of sale and is ready for a credit card payment, then the POS and credit card machine are communicating appropriately.
7. If the sale was completed, did a receipt print out? If so, the Epson Printer is working.
   1. If not, do a test print from within FS by going to the gear icon in the upper right > Settings > basic
        
8. Close the Drawer by clicking on Drawer-Close and counting the cash in the drawer (if any). Follow the on-screen steps to close the drawer. Closing the drawer will batch the credit card charge and ensure that things are working A-to-Z. The primary reason for doing this is so that the penny charge does not show up as an unbatched credit card payment in a report the next day. If a card was not run, this step can be skipped.
   
9. Log out of FieldStack by tapping the Logout area at the lower part of the screen or [ALT + END] on the keyboard.
