    Code 10 situation

    Code 10 situation

    During a transaction, if you feel that a customer, card or transaction is suspicious and needs investigating, call Moneris Customer Care at 1-866-319-7450 and state that the call is a Code 10. This will alert the Moneris operator without alarming your customer. The operator will ask you some "Yes/No” questions and then provide instructions.

    Reasons for calling in a Code 10 include:

    • larger than normal transaction size
    • cardholder is asking to manually enter the card number
    • there is no chip on a domestically issued credit card (Visa/MasterCard/Discover/Amex)
    • card security features appear to be altered (i.e. Card Brand appears blurry or incorrect, no expiry date, etc.)
    • cardholder is asking to ship the product to an address far away or under someone else’s name
    • cardholder provides multiple credit cards and some result in a declined message
    • cardholder is being aggressive
    • the signature on the credit card does not seem to match the signature on the Purchase receipt.
    • the name on the card is inconsistent with the person’s gender.
    • the customer is purchasing an unusual number of expensive items.
    • the customer’s purchases seem randomly selected, with little regard for size, quality or value.

    If this is a contactless transaction, ask the customer to do the following:

    1. Hold the card by itself above the contactless reader for 3 to 5 seconds until the reader beeps. Try this step twice more if it doesn't work the first time.
    2. If step 1 doesn’t work, try inserting the card into the chip reader if the card is also a chip card.
    3. If step 2 doesn’t work, try swiping the card on the terminal.

    The terminal failed to sync with Moneris. Try syncing later. 

    If you continue to see this error message, check your network connection. Refer to error message No connection.

    Hardware and software issues

    Hardware and software issues

    Issue Solution

    Blank receipts and reports

    The terminal appears to be printing receipts and reports, but the paper is blank.

    The paper roll is installed backward and needs to be re-installed.

    Refer to Install the paper roll for guidance. 

    Terminal does not allow you to manually enter card numbers.

    On the Purchase screen, make sure you select Manual entry as the method of card entry. For step-by-step instructions, refer to Purchase – Card not present (CNP).

    Implement these settings to allow manual entry:

    • Enable “Manual entry” in your user role; 
    • Make sure "Manual entry transactions" are enabled in the Transaction settings. 
    Touch screen not responding to input.

    Tap on the icon with your fingertip using a light touch. 

    If the terminal still does not respond, power off the terminal then power it on again (by disconnecting and reconnecting the power cable).
