Display Settings in the POSitive App

Most of the terminal settings can be managed at merchant or container level, and the terminals are shipped with default settings that are appropriate for the majority of situations and users. However, certain users may wish to adjust the settings for a particular terminal, and they can do so within the POSitive app.

    You can use images that are held in folders on the device. Search for images using the magnifying glass in the option bar. To download images, connect the device to a computer by USB, and use file explorer to drag and drop the images into the folder.

    Ambient display

    Turn this on to wake up the screen when you pick up the terminal or receive notifications.

    Font size

    Choose from small, normal, large or huge font. The default setting is "normal". Any changes will only affect the size of the font on the login screen and the menu drop downs.

    When device is rotated

    Choose how the display behaves when the terminal is rotated. It can either stay in the current (portrait) orientation, which is the default setting, or rotate the contents of the screen.

    Blur Effect

    When the device gets a notification or the volume of the device is altered a notification bar is displayed with a solid background. Turning the blur on replaces this solid background with a translucent one.

    The notification bars that can use this setting are 'Lockscreen', 'Global action dialog' and 'Volume control inside'.
