If your machine is running over the Internet and not phone line this sort of error is due to the lack of a connection.  Make sure your Internet, modem, and router are all working.  You may have to power cycle all of them including your credit card machine. If this does not work call customer service at 1-800-935-5961.

Sometimes like any technology device the machine may lock up. First just power cycle the machine to see if this solves the issue.  If your sale menu does not come up then make sure you have paper in the machine.  Sometimes being out of paper causes this issue.  If this does not work contact customer support for further assistance at 1-800-935-5961.

Usually this is an issue with the POS or the connection to the processor.  Call your POS support first and provide them the details of the failure.  If necessary they will direct you to call customer service at 1-800-935-5961.

Make sure you are in the Softpay menu and you do not see Commerver and Softpay on your screen.  If you do, simply press the Softpay button to get to the sale screen.
