Lucent Technologies 4.1 User Manual

Many retail businesses and restaurants use credit card scanners to get instant
approval of credit card purchases. The system allows your credit card
scanners to share the lines in your system (as shown in Figure 4-5). You can
install a credit card scanner on an extension by itself, or combine it with a
system phone or a standard phone on the same extension (see “Combination
Extensions” in the  PARTNER 

Communications System Installation  guide).

When you make a call on the credit card scanner, an outside line is

automatically selected. If you combine the credit card scanner with a system
phone or standard phone, you cannot use the phone while the credit card

scanner is operating. You can use only one of the devices at a time.

If extension X is a key extension, use Line Assignment (#301) to assign the

Line Assignment (#301) to assign any individual lines you want the

scanner to use to extension X.

Set Automatic Line Selection for extension X to select the pools and outside

lines that the scanner is to use.
