2) Transactions
TRANSACTIONS
2.1 Overview of the Transaction Process
The AMG-6700 Paystation automatically calculates parking fees by processing
parking ticket information. The AMG-6700 accepts magnetic stripe ticket
technology only.
The Paystation will automatically read the entry information encoded on the
magnetic stripe of a parking ticket and calculate the fee. It can accept validation
coupons and HR-200/AR-100 validated tickets. Payments are accepted in the
form of notes, coins, credit cards, or validations. Any change due to the customer
will be in coin denominations for the BNA model. BNR model Paystations can
give change in both coin and note denominations.
After a transaction has been completed, the Paystation will clear the magnetic
stripe and vault the ticket in a ticket box while vending the gate for the customer
to exit.
The Paystation can be connected to a central computer system where the host
PC provides the facility with real-time monitoring, ticket tracking, and
management capabilities.
2.2 Ticket Types
There are several types of tickets that are processed by the AMG-6700
Paystation. The available ticket types are:
•
•

2.2.1 Entry Tickets
An entry ticket is the ticket that the customer receives from the Ticket Dispenser
upon entering the parking facility.
[Fig. 2.2A] Entry ticket
2.2.2 Processed Entry Ticket
The AMG-6700 will process the entry ticket and print the payment information on
the center of the ticket.
When the transaction is finished, the Paystation will clear the magnetic stripe,
vault the ticket, and vend the gate.
[Fig. 2.2B] Paid ticket
2.2.3 Cancelled Tickets
A cancelled ticket is created when a customer pushes the “Cancel” button during
the course of a transaction. The entry ticket that was inserted will be reissued as
a “Cancellation Ticket”. Any validation coupons that have been applied to the fee
will be included on the cancellation ticket, and processed as configured. Cash will
be returned to the customer from the coin return (and note dispenser if the bank
note recycler option installed).

2) Transactions
When a cancellation ticket is reinserted, the fee (minus any validation or service
discounts) will be displayed. The customer can complete the transaction using
bills, coins, or credit card(s).
2.2.4 QR Barcode (with FlexScan Barcode Imager Option)
QR Barcodes can be used in multiple ways at the AMG-6700.
The first method is to use the QR code as a pass using the eFlexPass software.
eFlexPass is responsible for generating QR passes that a parker may use to
enter and exit the facility for a number of uses and/or a period of time.
The second method is to use the QR code as a validation coupon using the
eFlexPrint software. eFlexPrint is responsible for generating QR barcodes that a
patron may use as a discount to their stay. See section 3.6 Discount Types for a
detailed explanation of each discount available to a validation coupon printed
from eFlexPrint.
2.3 Receipt
Receipts can be configured to be printed automatically or upon request. Only one
receipt will be printed per ticket.

3.6 Discount Types
There are five methods used to discount parking fees at the AMG-6700

3.7 Discount Methods
There are two types of discounts that are processed by the AMG-6700
Paystation:
•
•
HR-200 validated entry tickets and AR-100 validated entry tickets
Validation Coupons/Tickets
3.7.1 HR-200 Tickets and AR-100 Tickets
HR-200 tickets and AR-100 tickets are regular entry tickets that have been reencoded by a merchant or by the facility using an HR-200 or AR-100 Store
Validation encoder.
When the customer inserts a re-encoded ticket into the Paystation, the
Paystation calculates a new fee based on the discount assigned to the store
number.
There are five discount types and one surcharge type that may be applied to any
given store number that employs HR-200 or AR-100 tickets:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Full Amount (100% of the Parking Fee)
Exit Time Discount
Fee Discount
Percent Discount
Rate to Change: Allows change to an alternate rate for rate calculation.
Surcharge (Dollar amount applied).
3.7.2 Validation Coupons
Validation coupons are additional magstripe tickets (or QR barcodes if the
FlexScan option is installed) that are issued by the facility and created using
Amano McGann Magstripe Bulk Validation Software System or eFlexPrint for
barcode coupons.. Coupons are used with entry tickets to apply a discount or
surcharge to the parking fee.
When the customer inserts/scans a validation coupon, the Paystation calculates
a new fee based on the discount assigned to the validation coupon store number.
With a multiple use coupon, each time a validation is used, the number of uses
will be decremented by one.
