The payment type selection screen now includes icons which show the status of your connected credit card readers and printers:
- Green: A device is connected and ready to use.
- Gray: A device is not connected. Connect a credit card reader or printer.
- Red: A device is connected; however, it is not registered to your account, or the credit card reader is not compatible with the location’s configured processor.
