EMV Restaurant Z8 with AURA
Non-touchscreen Z-line models
Why using the AURA interface is easy!
The interface for the Z8 non-touch screen terminal has been updated with new software, designed to enhance and improve the user experience. We call it AURA.
Although the AURA interface looks different from the Legacy interface, the differences in support and functionality are minimal, with virtually no changes.
The following actions remain the same:
- building a TPN in STEAM
- accesing data in DeNovo
- downloading a terminal
- terminal menus
- transaction flow
- same host platform certifications
The following actions are different:
- smart device-type look with a sleeker, more modern layout
- menus, Favorites and Call Me are all accessible using the F1 key (you now use one button instead of three!)
- in STEAM, an AURA software model can be identified by having ‘AURA’ in the name eg. V3AURACoreF w CrDb_20200915
