Install Paper Roll
Install Paper
Roll
A fast, quiet thermal printer is built in to the Omni 5xxx terminal.
Before you can process transactions that require a receipt or record, you must
install a roll of thermal-sensitive paper in the printer.
The ITP uses a roll of single-ply, thermal-sensitive paper 57 millimeters (2.24
inches) wide and 25 meters (82 feet) long. A pink out-of-paper indicator line
appears on the edge of the paper approximately 18 inches before the end of the
roll. After this line appears, there is enough paper remaining on the roll to
conclude at least one transaction.
CAUTION
Poor-quality paper can jam printer and create excessive paper dust. To order
high-quality VeriFone paper, refer to Accessories and Documentation.
Store thermal paper in a dry, dark area. Handle thermal paper carefully: impact,
friction, temperature, humidity, and oils affect the color and storage characteristics
of the paper.
VNF
Never load a roll of paper with folds, wrinkles, tears, or holes at the edges or in the
print area.
To Install a Paper
Roll
1 Press down on the button located on the side of the terminal to unlatch the
paper roll cover, then lift the cover up and back (see Figure 5).

Smart Battery
The Omni 5xxx wireless terminal uses an Li-ion smart battery (see Accessories
and Documentation for ordering information). The internal logic of the smart
battery prevents both overcharging and undercharging (a fault condition in which
the battery level goes well below the minimum acceptable charge and the battery
becomes unusable).
VNF
CAUTION Note that a new Li-ion battery’s full performance is achieved only after two or three
complete charge and discharge cycles.
On initial use, allow the Omni 5xxx smart battery to charge 24 hours, then fully
discharge during normal operation, to ensure reliable battery operation.
The following are features of the smart battery:
Two Li-ion cells
•
A fuel gauge module
•
NOTE
•
•
monitors state of charge (voltage and current),
•
communicates with the terminal (charge parameters and alarms to
indicate full discharge),
•
determines full charge capacity (on charge cycle and uninterrupted
discharge cycle), and
•
automatically shuts down when cell voltage is extremely low.
A safety circuit
•
prevents cell damage from overcharge/over-discharge,
•
activates when the battery is left in an unused terminal for extended
periods, and
•
resets when battery voltage reaches a preset threshold during the charge
cycle.
Conserve battery power by turning the Omni 5xxx terminal off when not in use. If
the terminal is not to be used for several days, remove the battery from the
terminal as it continues to discharge even when the terminal is turned off.

TERMINAL S ETUP
Install/Replace SIM Card (GSM models)
The smart battery has a safety circuit to protect the Li-ion cells from overcharging
and over-discharging. If the battery is over-discharged, the safety circuit shuts
down the battery and none of the indicator LEDs (see Figure 16) on the battery
pack blink. The battery must then be recharged to restore operation.
NOTE
The Omni 5xxx terminal automatically shuts off when the smart battery reaches
the critically low charge state. If this occurs, the smart battery must recharge a
minimum of 1/2 hour before it can power the terminal. It make take several
recharge attempts to reset the safety circuit when charging a smart battery that
has reached a critically low charge state.
If the Omni 5xxx terminal is already running an application (for example, SoftPay),
a battery status indicator may appear on the display.

If the problem persists, contact your local VeriFone representative.
There are several reasons why the terminal may not be processing transactions.
Use the following steps to troubleshoot failures.
Check Magnetic Card Reader
•
Perform a test transaction using one or more different magnetic stripe cards to
ensure the problem is not a defective card.
•
Ensure that you are swiping cards properly. With the Omni 5xxx card reader,
the black magnetic stripe on the card should face down and in toward the
keypad and be inserted from the top of the terminal (see Figure 21).
•
Process a transaction manually, using the keypad instead of the card reader. If
the manual transaction works, the problem may be a defective card reader.

Transactions Fail To Process
•
Contact your VeriFone distributor or service provider.
•
If the manual transaction does not work, proceed to Check Telephone Line.
Check Smart Card Reader
•
Perform a test transaction using several different smart cards to ensure the
problem is not a defective card.
•
Ensure that the card is inserted correctly and that the card is not removed
prematurely.
•
Ensure the MSAM cards are properly inserted in the cardholders and that the
cardholders are properly secured (see Install/Replace MSAM Cards).
•
Contact your VeriFone distributor or service provider.

Check Telephone Line
42
If the manual transaction does not process, proceed to Check Telephone Line.
•
Disconnect the telephone line from the bottom of the Omni 5xxx terminal and
connect it to a working telephone to check for a dial tone. If there is no dial
tone, replace the telephone cable.
•
If the problem appears to be with the telephone line, check with the party you
are trying to call to see if their system is operational. If they are not
experiencing difficulties with their line, contact the telephone company and
have your line checked.
•
If the telephone line works, contact your local VeriFone representative for
assistance.
