Capturing a signature

Two options are available for capturing signatures: the Topaz device option or the CenPOS Signature Capture device option. Use either signature capture option to obtain electronic signatures during counter sales to confirm customer receipt of an order. The CenPOS Signature Capture device option can be used to capture a receipt signature and a credit card signature. Be aware that your steps may vary based on your device setup, how you have set your signature requirement settings, and whether you have set up a specific operator in Authorization Security.
Note: If a) you are using the CenPOS Signature Capture option, b) a signature is required, and c) you try to proceed through an order without capturing a signature, a message is displayed: Confirm. Do you want to skip the Required Signature? Click Yes to skip. If you click Yes, and encounter an authorization point, the Authorization Required window is displayed. Contact a supervisor to grant authority to allow you to proceed.
