By upgrading from the TRANZ to
this terminal of the future, you gain a new world of
easy-to-use features such as the bright backlit display,
screen addressable function keys and the ability to
upgrade from a remote location
At the same time, you profit from
extra memory, a faster modem and an extra peripheral
port—plus easy upgrades that make sure the terminal will
offer years of useful life. Faster Transactions With its
fast 2400-baud modem, the OMNI 396 substantially

Plenty of Room For Growth
With the OMNI 396, downloading is fast and easy. It can accept
full or partial downloads—on site or remotely over phone
lines—and it lets you perform direct application upgrades from
another terminal or a PC. With its Flash EPROM, the OMNI 396 will
even let you upgrade your operating system electronically. So you
can quickly make firmware changes without having to replace
hardware.
Choose from a variety of memory
configurations—from 128 Kbytes to 896 Kbyte of RAM. At 256
Kbytes, the basic model has twice the capacity of most transaction
systems. This large memory also allows merchants to add new
applications without having to upgrade to a more powerful system.
And since the OMNI 396 comes with three
ports, it can handle a variety of peripherals—printers, PIN
pads, smart card readers, check readers or bar code wands—and
still link up with a PC or an ECR.
Easy to Read, Easy to Use
OMNI 396’s screen-addressable keys allow users to respond
directly to prompts shown on the terminal display. By programming
these color-coded function keys, you can easily turn a combination
of keystrokes into a single-step operation. The result? Faster
checkout time.
The backlit display allows the user to read
data in any light. And the screen is tilted at a natural angle,
making it easier to see the display.
Faster Transactions
With its fast 2400-baud modem, the OMNI 396 substantially improves
transaction time. This not only speeds up customer service, it
lowers the communications costs.
Powerful Machine, Compact Size
Occupying less than 6 inches by 6 inches, the OMNI 396 packs a
powerful combination of features into one space-saving package.
Enjoy A World Of Easy Application
Development
With the VeriFone TXO system, programmers face an easy future
developing new applications. All their work can be done in the
industry-standard C language. TXO also gives the programmers a
series of built-in program modules that provide shortcuts through
the development process.
The Payment System Of The Future
When you combine these new features with the flexible operating
system, the OMNI 396 is more than a machine— it is a convenient
and cost-effective way to move into the future of automated
transaction systems.
