Troubleshooting

Help, I'm out of paper!

The Ingenico iCT250 terminal takes standard 2.25" (58mm) thermal receipt paper which can be found at your local stationery store.

I've lost internet access, can I still run a transaction?

The Ingenico iCT250 terminal may be set up with a phone line fail-over if you have a traditional phone line available in your store, please contact Moneris support to verify that this is available and set up on your terminal.

The terminal says "Enter Amount" on the display

The terminal is not set up correctly for integration with Retail POS; please refer to the setup section above for instructions on how to correct this.
