This is a direct connection and the line is dedicated to the terminal.Figure 12 VX 520 D/E Direct Telephone ConnectionFigure 13 VX 520 GPRS Direct Telephone ConnectionInstalling a PaperRoll in the PrinterBefore you can process transactions that require a receipt or record, you must install paper in the printer.The VX 520 uses a roll of single-ply, thermal-sensitive paper for either the 38 mm- or the 49 mm-diameter version.23RJ-11WARNINGTo reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26AWG or larger UL Listed or CSA Certified Telecommunication Line Cord.

TERMINAL SETUPVX 520 Setup26 VX 520 INSTALLATION GUIDEVERIFO N ECONF I DENTIALTEMPLATE REV F A pink out-of-paper indicator line appears on the edge of the paper before the end of the roll. After this line appears, there is enough paper remaining on the roll to conclude at least one transaction. To install a paper roll 1Hook your finger under the latch and lift up to swing the paper roll cover open (see Figure 14). Figure 14 Opening the Printer Cover2Remove any partial roll of paper in the printer tray by lifting it up. 3Loosen the glued leading edge of the new paper roll or remove the protective strip. Unwind the paper roll past any glue residue.4Hold the roll so the paper feeds from the bottom of the roll.5Drop the paper roll into the printer tray.CAUTIONPoor-quality paper can jam the 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.

If the battery is over-discharged, the safety circuit shuts down the battery. The battery must then be recharged to restore operation.Battery Life The VX 520 GPRS smart battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but will eventually wear out. When operating times are noticeably shorter than usual, it is time to buy a new battery (see Accessories and Documentation for ordering information).Privacy Shield(Optional)The privacy shield protects the customers’ PIN entry from being seen by the cashier or other customers. The illustration shows an example of a VX 520 with the optional privacy shield.Figure 31 Optional Privacy ShieldNOTEThe VX 520 GPRS terminal automatically shuts off when the smart battery reaches the critically low charge state. If this occurs, the smart battery must be recharged for a minimum of 1/2 hour before it can power the terminal. It may take several recharge attempts to reset the safety circuit when charging a smart battery that has been discharged below this critical state.WARNINGDo not dispose of batteries in a fire. Li-ion batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly. Do not dispose of Li-ion batteries in municipal waste sites.NOTEMerchants who install the terminal without the privacy shield must ensure the cardholder’s privacy when entering his PIN by positioning the terminal away from open view.
