# Dispenser Card Readers

## Overview

Dispenser Card Readers (DCRs) give customers the option of paying at the dispenser. DCRs read the magnetic stripe of credit, debit, and similar cards, sends the information to a credit network, and controls dispensing fuel based on the network’s response.

### Dispenser Types

Although different manufacturers refer to card readers by various trade names, Verifone uses DCR (Dispenser Card Reader) as a generic term for all of them.

| Manufacturers | Card Reader Name                          |
| ------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| Bennett       | Dispenser Card Terminal (DCT)             |
| Dresser/Wayne | Dispenser Card Processing Terminal (DCPT) |
| Gilbarco      | CRIND®: Card Reader IN Dispenser          |
| Tokheim       | Dispenser Payment Terminal (DPT)          |

Color logos are now supported on Gilbarco M7 and Wayne DCR. While Wayne devices seamlessly display logos without any extra steps. To enable the DCR color logo on the Gilbarco M7 device after Verifone Commander software installation, a one-time manual intervention is necessary.

The Gilbarco technician should choose the Verifone personality, instead of the default blue personality, from the maintenance menu for each dispenser.

In order to display the color logo, select “**Verifone**” option ‘1’ on the Gilbarco M7 located at **SYSTEM MENU > APP CONFIGURATION > CRINDBIOS > DISPLAY > PERSONALITY** after software installation for each dispenser.

Following this selection, reboot each dispenser to display the color logo.

Color logo is supported on the following dispensers:

## Using Dispenser Card Readers

### Dispenser Card Reader (DCR) Card Fuel Sale

Below are some common functions that are related to DCR sales:

* **Approve DCR Transaction**: Some states require cashier intervention before fueling can begin.
* **View Fueling Point**: A small yellow triangle indicates that the network has returned a message or customer has requested help. In either case, fueling position should be viewed to clear the message.
* **Reprint DCR Transaction**: Occasionally, customers come to the counter to request a DCR receipt (paper ran out).

This function reprints DCR and completed prepay transaction receipts.

Touch \*\* \[VIEW],\*\*touch \*\*\[Reprint DCR TRAN]\*\*and select the transaction to print.

The most recent transaction is always at the top of the list and highlighted.

During a DCR transaction, a small card icon appears in the background of the graphic for that fueling position as shown below:

| POS Icon                                                            | Description                                                                                                      |

#### **DCR Sales Examples**

The following DCR sales examples are mentioned the DCR sales sequences table:

* DCR Sale Using a Card

### DCR Sales Sequence Table

The sales sequences for DCR transactions for all dispensers the POS supports are in the tables below. These tables show how the configuration can change the customer experience at the pump. Consider the following in all tables:

* If the POS is in the idle state, the fueling point number remains lit and the icons are dark.
* If the POS is sending data to the DCRs, a “**LOADING**” message replaces the current prompt untill the transaction is complete.

Card types cause different prompts to appear:

* **Debit cards**: If a customer inserts a debit card without first pressing the \*\*\[DEBIT]\*\*key, “**DEBIT OR CREDIT**?” appears on the display. After a card has been identified as a debit card, the display prompts with “**ENTER PIN**.”
* **Fleet cards**: Different Fleet cards prompt the customer for information such as odometer reading, vehicle identification number, etc.
* **Stored Value Cards**: Also known as prepaid cards, these cards usually display the balance that remains on the card.

## Configuring Dispenser Card Readers

The DCR Configuration form is used to define general operating procedures for dispenser card readers (DCRs) at the site.

Use **Forecourt > DCR** to configure DCRs.

Use **Tools > Managed Modules > DCR\_Driver\_Configuration**to assign port and configure the communication parameters for DCR.

{% hint style="info" %}
*Fuel Manager / Fuel / Site Parameters provides additional parameters required for successful fuel operations. Refer to the Configuring Fuel Manager section in the Fuel Manager topic for details on configuring site parameters related to DCRs*.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
*After changes are made to DCR parameters, the command “Tools*\_> Refresh Configuration” can typically be executed for the new settings to be applied to DCRs.\_\_The Receipt Header/Trailer parameters also require a DCR download.\_*All the DCR position attributes except Pay At Pump, Push To Start Button, Grade Select Button, and Lever On Pump require to initialize DCR driver.*
