# DCR Configuration The DCR Configuration refers to how a Dispenser Card Reader (DCR) is set up, programmed, and managed within a fuel‑station system—especially in environments using Verifone Commander, Ruby2, or Topaz POS systems. A DCR is the card‑reader/payment module mounted on the fuel dispenser, and its configuration determines how it communicates with the POS, processes payments, and controls fueling behavior. ## DCR Configuration ### Receipt Settings
