The first time you enter this, the password is **0000**. You will be prompted to change  
it before you can process any transactions.

## PROCESSING PAYMENTS

Users of the A77 will process transactions using the POSitive app.

#### Logging in to the POSitive app

When you first turn on the terminal, the initial screen is displayed, showing the date  
and version of the software you are running.

1. Tap the **Payments** icon to progress to the next screen.

#### Important.

You may see the following error/ notification:

➔ Error message - Comms Limited  
➔ No Wi-Fi or Active SIM Found. Operations will be limited.  
➔ Option - Dismiss

#### This is displayed if there is no SIM card, and you are outside a connected Wi-Fi.

1. After a brief pause, you will be prompted for a User ID and a password.
2. Key in the login details provided to you. They will consist of a numerical User  
ID and password.

#### Notes:

You will be prompted to change your password once you have logged in for the first  
time. If you wish, you can choose to save the credentials.

1. Having successfully logged in, you will be presented with the home screen,  
with the Main Menu tab uppermost.

#### Doing a Test Transaction

It is a good idea to do a test transaction with your own card, for a nominal amount  
of, say, 1p, to make sure that everything is working as expected.

#### Important.

Users/cashiers must **log in** to the terminal before they can process transactions.  
You can set the amount of time that can elapse before the terminal goes into  
standby. You can also set brightness level and other **display settings**.

## SETTING UP EMAIL RECEIPTS

The A77 only offers email receipt capabilities as the terminal does not have a till  
roll holder installed on it. Sending email receipts is quick and simple once a  
transaction has been completed.

Once a transaction has approved / declined the below screen will be displayed.

 ![PAX Terminal](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/rapyd/original/3X/e/a/eae623d7cde1cd19dc6373e59e9db8d2892b37f0.jpeg)

You can then view these receipts on screen to confirm any information you wish. If  
the cardholder requests a copy of their receipt, simply select the “ **MAIL**  
**CARDHOLDER** ” option and enter in their email address.

Once this is completed you can press **DONE** and the merchant copy of the receipt  
will be automatically emailed to the Merchant Address email that has been loaded  
to your terminal.

#### Important.

Please note that the merchant receipt is **ALWAYS** sent to the merchant email  
address, there is no option to skip this.

As with printed receipts, you can also use the reprint manager under the main  
menu, to view on screen and email copies of both Merchant + Customer receipts  
if you wish.
