Digital Currency Systems

Card server is our communication utility that is used to send transaction data that require offsite processing. For example, Check21, Comed instant payment, Coinstar pre-paid, Check verification, and all debit card transactions use Card Server. BPS and ATS from your “support station” now have the ability to restart card server directly through the software when the cashier encounters a transaction timeout.

Up to 4 Money Order Printers in the system

One major addition we have made in this release is the ability to print money orders to up to four different money order printers in a single store. This can be a tremendous benefit for busy stores where multiple tellers print many money orders to the same printer at the same time. Now you can assign each teller window to its own money order printer.

Large Passenger sticker price change

In conjunction with the City of Chicago price increase for large-passenger stickers, we have made additional updates to our software to reflect the new sticker price.

OTC price issue

As per a previous DCS bulletin sent to all owners, updates to the OTC software have been made to correct the issue encountered in some cases where the $40 late charge was not being applied to customers who were late within the discount period.

All Modules

Additional space on customer receipt now available for owner customization

Previously when customizing your store(s) receipt, our software would not allow for more than 10 lines of text to be added to the header and footer of the receipt. This limitation has been removed and now allows for additional customization.

MOPS

Up to 4 Money Order Printers in the system

In order to assign a different money order printer to a teller station, click on "Maintenance" and then "Edit Box info" on that station.

A screen will be displayed showing you the available money order printers in your store. Select the printer that you want to use for this station by clicking on the radio button next to it. The red circle will show you the printer that is selected at the present time. Also be sure the starting, ending, and current money order numbers are the same as the current box loaded in the assigned printer. Click "OK" to finish the setup.

For any questions regarding the setup of new printers please call our technical support at 847-498-9955 Ext 2

Federal Report for Store money orders

Previously, MOPS required a federal report to be completed for any STORE money orders issued that exceeded the federal report limit. Now stores have the option to exclude STORE money orders from their Federal Report. This is an optional configuration with mandatory completion of the report by the teller being the default option. To exclude store money orders from Federal Report entry and generation, click on "Setup" and then click on "Store Setup"

The main store setup screen will be displayed. Now be sure that the "Include Store MO in Federal Report" box is unchecked on top right hand corner of the screen. Click "OK" to save the settings.

Money Order Verification frequency

In an effort to better insure that your system’s money orders are in sequence with the money orders on the printer, the system periodically prompts the tellers to enter the next money order number on the printer. Improvements have been made to the verification process to insure the tellers are entering the next money order number on the printer. For our MOCS (Money Order Control System) customers, this will improve the reconciliation process when clearing the money orders received from the bank against your store(s) sale items.
