As the cost and operating methods of Innsite are so complex it is not possible to supply
“Demo” software. In view of this SHARP have developed a Windows Innsite Emulator
which is available Free of Charge from the SHARP Technical WEB Site.

The Innsite Emulator Software when downloaded from our WEB site should be installed and
operated as follows.

1.

Download the file from the WEB site and execute it. It will unpack 3 files to the
C\INNSITE directory.

2.

From the INNSITE directory RUN SETUP.EXE. This will install the program into a
directory C:\PROGRAM FILES\ISEMU. To RUN the program select Start -
Programs - ISEmu or if this doesn’t exists because of user profiles run it from
explorer. To do this switch to C:\PROGRAM FILES\ISEMU and run ISEmu.EXE.

3.

Connect the your PC to the POS as directed previously as if it were a live installation
and after running the Innsite Emulator press START. The system is now set for use.

N.B Rooms 1,2,201,202,203,204,205 are available for testing.

Room 201 is multi Folio
Room 202 is Insufficient Credit
Room 204 will show “Please Call”
Room 205 will show “Message Waiting”

It is now possible to carry out Cashback transactions on Switch & Delta Cards. This can be
done with Commidea & Retail Logic. Once the settings have been made the POS will ask
“Cashback” Yes or No

A new setting has been introduced in RINCS.CFG it is necessary to remove the following
line in Commidea settings or Retail Logic settings :-

REM ---VERSION 4.3 ONLY---
REM IF CASHBACK IS REQUIRED REMOVE REM STATEMENT BELOW AND SET n & m.
REM n=0 OR 1 1=ENABLE 0=DISABLE, m= MAXIMUM AMOUNT IN PENCE

REM EFTCASHBACK=n,m

To enable Cashback remove the REM line in front of the setting and set it as

EFTCASHBACK=1,5000

This will set cashback on and a maximum limit of £50.00

As well as the RINCS setting it is also necessary to make a change in FM under Payment
Types. In the EFT Column it is now possible to set Yes, No and Cbk. Cbk enables Cashback
on the particular method of payment.

Please be aware 2 Credit/Debit keys will now be needed on the payment screen, One for
Standard Credit ( No Cashback) and the other for Debit Cards (With Cashback)

When a transaction is finalised using the payment method set to “Cbk” after swiping the card
the operator will be prompted for Cashback if yes is selected the display shows the maximum
Cashback value and allows the operator to enter the required value. This has to be confirmed
and the transaction is sent for Authorisation. If the Card type is not set on the EFT Software
to give Cashback an error will occur. If authorisation is given by the bank the transaction
finalises in the same way as normal EFT. The Cashback is printed on both the store and
customer voucher.

It is now possible to open and re-open table transactions by swiping a Credit Card. This
enables the credit card to be authorised before goods are supplied.

A new setting has been added to RINCS.CFG as follows :-

REM V4.3****************CREDIT CARD FOR TABLE SET***********************

REM TO ALLOW THE OPENING OF A TABLE USING A CREDIT CARD
REM REMOVE THE REM STATEMENT BELOW

REM ********************CREDIT CARD FOR TABLE END***********************

To enable this function remove the REM in front of CCTABLE=1.

After a server has signed on it is possible to swipe a Credit Card (it is not possible to
manually enter the number). The POS will then prompt for table number entry and covers.
The POS will also at this point authorise through Commidea or Retail Logic a sale of 1p, this
checks the validity of the Credit Card. An authorised voucher is printed containing the
following  text :-

A pre-authorisation has been made for
the value of 1p as a card security
check, this amount will not be charged
to your account.

Any goods/services provided under this
TAB will be paid for on card no.
{Card No}
in the event of non-payment to collect
any outstanding balance.

If the table is then held it is possible to re-open it simply by swiping the Credit Card. Normal
finalisation has to be carried out in the normal way using the Credit Card finalisation routine.
Alternatively the table can be paid for using Cash or Cheque.
