Using PAX, there are two ways to settle the batch at the end of day.
- Settle the batch through the POS- This process is just like the settling of charges using non-emv processing solutions. During the end of day, MicroSale will prompt to settle/clear the batch. No additional settings are required.
- PAX Auto Settle- you will need to set PAX unit on Broadpos to auto settle at a specific time window and interval. The standard setting is to settle between 4am-5am at 10 minute intervals. MicroSale will run end of day as normal but in the functions.ini you will need to edit the line “EMV Clear Records=” to “Yes” so that it will clear the batch records from MicroSale. (should read as; EMV Clear Records=Yes). **SAVE FILE WHEN DONE***

- Press Menu (or press 1 and FUNC at the same time)
