Card Reader Parameter Group

SEOM uses hundreds of system parameters to tailor the program to a merchant's way of doing business.
Each system parameter is associated with a parameter group, based on its function.
One way of viewing system parameters is to select a specific Parameter Group at the Set System Parameters screen. It is also possible to search for a parameter by entering a portion of its name.
While some parameters could logically belong to more than one parameter group, the program only assigns a parameter to a single group. Be sure to look for other related group names when researching the available parameters for a particular function.
To change a system parameter, go to the Main Menu>Settings>System Functions>Set System Parameters, or select System Parameters from the Quick Clicks on the Main Menu Accordion, provided it has not been deleted by the user.
For instructions, review the Knowledge Base topic, Set System Parameters.
