A
OMNI 396
By upgrading from the TRANZ to this terminal of the
future, you gain a new world of easy-to-use features.
Such as the bright backlit display, screen addressable
function keys and the ability to upgrade from a
remote location.
t the same time, you profit from extra memory, a faster
modem and an extra peripheral port—plus easy upgrades
that make sure the terminal will offer years of useful life.
Plenty of Room For Growth
With the OMNI 396, downloading is fast and easy. It can
accept full or partial downloads—on site or remotely over
phone lines—and it lets you perform direct application
upgrades from another terminal or a PC. With its Flash
EPROM, the OMNI 396 will even let you upgrade your
operating system electronically. So you can quickly make
firmware changes without having to replace hardware.
Choose from a variety of memory configurations—from
128 Kbytes to 896 Kbyte of RAM. At 256 Kbytes, the basic
model has twice the capacity of most transaction systems.
This large memory also allows merchants to add new applica-
tions without having to upgrade to a more powerful system.
And since the OMNI 396 comes with three ports, it can
handle a variety of peripherals—printers, PIN pads, smart
card readers, check readers or bar code wands—and still link
up with a PC or an ECR.
Easy to Read, Easy to Use
OMNI 396’s screen-addressable keys allow users to respond
directly to prompts shown on the terminal display. By
programming these color-coded function keys, you can easily
turn a combination of keystrokes into a single-step operation.
The result? Faster checkout time.
The backlit display allows the user to read data in any
light. And the screen is tilted at a natural angle, making it
easier to see the display.
Faster Transactions
With its fast 2400-baud modem, the OMNI 396 substantially
improves transaction time. This not only speeds up customer
service, it lowers the communications costs.
Powerful Machine, Compact Size
Occupying less than 6 inches by 6 inches, the OMNI 396 packs a
powerful combination of features into one space-saving package.
Enjoy A World
Of Easy Application Development
With the VeriFone TXO system, programmers face an easy
future developing new applications. All their work can be
done in the industry-standard C language. TXO also gives
the programmers a series of built-in program modules that
provide shortcuts through the development process.
The Payment System Of The Future
When you combine these new features with the flexible
operating system, the OMNI 396 is more than a machine—
it is a convenient and cost-effective way to move into the
future of automated transaction systems.
