Credit Card Scanners 9
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 9-7). You can install the credit card scanner on an extension by itself, or combine
it with a telephone on the same extension (see “Combination Extensions” on page 9-3).

Using Credit Card Scanners 9
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 telephone, you cannot use the telephone while the credit
card scanner is operating.
Programming Credit Card Scanners 9
To program the system for a credit card scanner:
1. Do one of the following:
■ If extension X is a key extension, use Line Assignment (#301) to assign the lines you
want the scanner to use to extension X.
■ If extension X is a pooled extension, use Pool Extension Assignment (#314) to assign
the pools you want the scanner to use to extension X. Also use Line Assignment (#301)
to assign any individual lines you want the scanner to use to extension X.
2. Set Automatic Line Selection for extension X to select the pools and outside lines that the
scanner is to use.
3. Set Automatic Extension Privacy (#304) for extension X to Assigned.
4. Make sure extension X is not assigned as a Call Waiting (#316) extension.
