PLU Status Group for Gift Cards
For most merchants, the sale of a gift card is not reportable revenue until actual merchandise is sold and
the gift card is redeemed. As a “best practice” dealers will program the PLU used for the sale of a gift card
as a “HASH” PLU (report the PLU to a PLU Status Group with HASH status).
1. From the PROGRAM MODE touch PLU then touch PLU STATUS GROUP to view the PLU
status group options. Data for the first status group displays.
2. Select a PLU status group you wish to program.
3. Check the option; “HASH ITEM”.
4. Set the “PLU GIFT CARD ITEM” option:
• ACTIVATE (Activate a new Gif Card)
• ADD (Add value to an existing Gift Card)
5. Assign the PLU Status Group to the associated PLU.
Load the EMV Parameters
After connecting the new EMV compatible Datacap device and the VX805 PIN-Pad to the ECR and all the
required programming is completed, you must load the parameters for the devices. The IPTran-LT must be
connected to the internet to load the parameters.
To load the Datacap device parameters perform the following:
1. Self-Initiated Load procedure as explained on page 221 in this supplement. This operation is
typically not necessary, the Tran device will call out to verify the load automatically.
2. To load the parameters for the Pin-Pad perform the Parameter Download procedure as explained
