Operating the Terminal
This section covers functionality that may be used in the operation of the terminal or during transactions.

Out of Paper
When the terminal printer is out of paper, it generates a beep and stops printing until the paper is replenished. Once the printer detects the paper, the previous printing job is re-started from the beginning. The following scenarios depict the terminal flow if the terminal runs out of paper or no paper roll is present:
- The terminal should detect when no paper is present and display this message once a transaction is initiated.

2. If the terminal runs out of paper while a receipt is printing, the device will wait until the paper has been inserted.
- If a new roll has been inserted and the User presses Enter, the whole receipt is printed from the beginning.
- If the user selects Cancel, the application will revert to the Main menu. But if a signature is required, and a Merchant receipt has not been printed, the transaction will be declined, and an auto-void will be performed.
