By upgrading to this VeriFone Omni 396 terminal of the future, you gain a new world of easy-to-use features such as the bright backlit display, screen addressable function keys and the ability to upgrade from a remote location. At the same time, you profit from extra memory, a faster modem and an extra peripheral port—plus easy upgrades that make sure the terminal will offer years of useful life. With the VeriFone OMNI 396, downloading is fast and easy. It can accept full or partial downloads—on site or remotely over phone lines—and it lets you perform direct application upgrades from another terminal or a PC. With its Flash EPROM, the VeriFone OMNI 396 will even let you upgrade your operating system electronically. So you can quickly make firmware changes without having to replace hardware. Choose from a variety of memory configurations—from 128 Kbytes to 896 Kbyte of RAM. At 256 Kbytes, the basic model has twice the capacity of most transaction systems. This large memory also allows merchants to add new applications without having to upgrade to a more powerful system. And since the VeriFone OMNI 396 comes with three ports, it can handle a variety of peripherals—printers, PIN pads, smart card readers, check readers or bar code wands—and still link up with a PC or an ECR. The backlit display allows the user to read data in any light. And the screen is tilted at a natural angle, making it easier to see the display. With its fast 2400-baud modem, the OMNI 396 substantially improves transaction time. This not only speeds up customer service, it lowers the communications costs. Occupying less than 6 inches by 6 inches, the OMNI 396 packs a powerful combination of features into one space-saving package. When you combine these new features with the flexible operating system, the OMNI 396 is more than a machine— it is a convenient and cost-effective way to move into the future of automated transaction systems.
