OMNI 470
An Integrated Credit And Debit Card System
For All Your Payment Needs.
erforming the functions of three individual units—a terminal,
a printer and a PIN pad—the OMNI
®
470 transaction
system gets a variety of jobs done without wasting space.
With up to 1 Mbyte of RAM, the OMNI 470 can handle
everything from the most simple to the most complex
transactions. Its integrated one-unit configuration simplifies
deployment, and its slick ergonomic design makes it easy to
use for both merchants and their customers.
When the time comes, the OMNI 470 is an excellent choice
for your current TRANZ
®
customers to upgrade to the more
feature-rich OMNI system family.
Secure Debit Transactions
With the OMNI 470, your merchants can easily add the
capability to handle debit (ATM) card transactions—and
start reaping the benefits of this popular payment method.
The OMNI 470 provides for debit card transactions via
its integrated PIN pad. It safeguards encrypted data through
Master/Session and DUKPT (derived unique key per transaction)
key management methods. And it supports MAC (message
authentication code), which protects transaction data
against disclosure. With its optional security shield, the
OMNI 470 also protects a user’s privacy when entering a
personal ID number.
High-Quality Thermal Printing
Taking advantage of the latest thermal printing technology,
the whisper-quiet OMNI 470 printer provides highly legible
receipts automatically at the completion of a transaction. Its
receipts are more readable than those produced by an impact
printer, and they have a long shelf life—up to five years.
What’s more, thermal printing is ribbonless, so there’s one
less expense for your customers to worry about.
The OMNI 470 also uses an advanced logic-seeking print
mechanism, which results in faster, more efficient printing.
Faster Transactions, More Efficient Communications
Through its quick 2400 bps modem, the OMNI 470 optimizes
transaction time. It speeds downloads for applications and
negative card files, and it shortens the time it takes to
upload batches to the host.
Greater Network Flexibility
The OMNI 470 supports both asynchronous and synchronous
networks, communicating directly with a range of transaction
processors.
Easy Application Development
The OMNI 470 runs the VeriFone
®
TXO
®
operating environment,
which allows programmers to easily tailor merchant applica-
tions using industry-standard C language. TXO comes with
a set of precoded modules that simplify the programming
process—resulting in shorter design times, more robust
applications and less testing.
Easy To Upgrade
The OMNI 470 makes downloading 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 optional
Flash EPROM, the OMNI 470 will even let you upgrade your
operating system electronically. So you can quickly make
firmware changes without having to replace chips.
