Hardware Features
The Display Panel
Each P2000 terminal has a built-in back lit display panel, which can display as many as 32
letters or numbers at a time (see Figure 2). The bright display is easy to read and the plastic
screen reduces glare. The 32-character display will accommodate all system messages.

The Card Reader
The P2000 terminal includes an ABA (American Bankers Association) Track 1 and Track 2
magnetic card reader. The card reader reads the Cardholder’s account number, expiration
date, and security data from the magnetic strip on the back of all major bank and credit cards.
Note: When you slide the card through the card reader, the magnetic strip should be facing
down and away from the keyboard.

You communicate with the P2000 terminal through the terminal’s keyboard (see Figure 3).

As Figure 3 illustrates, your P2000 terminal keyboard has 17 keys that can select numbers,
enter letters or special characters, choose functions, advance paper, and enter data.
During transactions, you use the number keys to respond to messages or to enter numeric
data.

the terminal to cycle through different options.
