•  Terminal display – LED display 
•  Numeric keypad – calculator format 
•  Dual Ethernet – allows you to use the terminal as a mini-hub when connecting 

multifunction devices. Eliminates the need for new wiring or multiple network 
drops. 

•  Copy support – by default, allows copies only after accounting data is entered. 
•  Metal bypass key – allows administrators to enable the copier to bypass 

accounting data entry. 

•  Storage capacity – 64 MB hard disk that can store up to 100,000 accounting 

codes and code descriptions and up to 10,000 transactions at the terminal. 
Terminal storage functionality available when the terminal is configured for 
Mode 1 communication only. 

•  QWERTY keyboard – standard keys and additional Equitrac function keys used 

to enter information into the terminal for completing transactions 

• 

Magstripe reader device  – magnetic card reader that uses encoded magnetic 
cards, in place of the keyboard, to enter transaction data on Track 2. 

 

• 

V.34 fax support – allows the terminal to serve as a fax terminal without 
requiring the customer to purchase an additional terminal. Multiple fax options 
are not supported. Fax support available when the terminal is configured for 
Mode 1 communication only.

 

•  Cost recovery software – Terminal software that includes Search, Scan, Recall, 

Global Recall, and SmartPrompt functionality. Cost recovery software available 
when the terminal is configured for Mode 1 communication only.  

The following functionality can be configured by the System Administrator. 

•  User timeout – the terminal returns to Idle Mode from a prompt when it detects 

no terminal activity for a specified amount of time. 

•  Device timeout – the terminal returns to Idle Mode when it detects no device 

activity for a specified amount of time. Default device timeout is 150 seconds.

•  Offline capability – terminal collects transactions when the connection to the 

server is unavailable and sends the transactions to the server when the connection 
is restored. 

•  Downloadable terminal configuration parameters – terminal configuration is 

stored on the server and configuration updates are downloaded to the terminals as 
needed. 

•  Data entry fields and prompts – the PageCounter terminal can be configured 

with up to 8 data entry fields (Fields 1 through 8) and corresponding field 
prompts that guide you through the required accounting data entries.  

•  Auto<ENTER> – the terminal automatically accepts and verifies the data and 

proceeds to the next field without you pressing <ENTER>.  

•  Hold timeout – extends the user timeout value by a specified amount of time. 

Default hold timeout is 300 seconds. 

•  Multiple personality – additional data entry modes. Default personality is count 

mode where the terminal monitors the office machine to which it is connected. In 
additional configured modes, the terminal allows you to enter accounting 
information for a specific disbursement type.  

•  Security – an asterisk appears for each character typed. Once the code is verified 

and accepted, the code’s description is displayed on the terminal screen, but the 
code shows as asterisks. 

•  Multiple interrupt levels – The terminal can store data for up to five individual 

transactions simultaneously.  

•  Text description display – the terminal displays a text description for the 

accounting code you enter.  

•  Speed codes – a speed code enables you to fill in several accounting field entries 

at once. 

•  Non-billable tracking – the terminal keeps a record of a user’s billable 

percentage. This percentage is displayed at the Ready Screen and is based only 
on transactions made at the specific terminal. The non-billable information is 
useful for generating reports of non-billable transactions from Equitrac’s 
document accounting systems. 

•  SmartPrompts – additional data can be gathered for specific accounting codes.
