Installing the Paper Roll
Installing the
Paper Roll
A fast, quiet thermal printer is built into the Vx670 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 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. Handle thermal paper carefully: impact,
friction, temperature, humidity, and oils affect the color and storage
characteristics of the paper.
Never load a roll of paper with folds, wrinkles, tears, or holes at the edges in the
print area.

After unpacking your Vx670 terminal, install the battery and connect the power
pack to the unit for 6 hours.
It is also recommended that the smart battery receive a periodic full discharge. To
ensure a full discharge, use the unit until the battery is fully drained.
NOTE
The Vx670 terminal’s smart battery is also charged when the terminal is in the
Base Station. For more information, see Placing the Vx670 Terminal Onto the
Base Station.
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. The battery must then be recharged to restore operation.
NOTE
The Vx670 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.
Battery Life The Vx670 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).
WARNING Do 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.

troubleshooting, ensure that the power supply being used to power the terminal
matches the requirements specified on the bottom of the terminal. (See Chapter
3, Specifications, for detailed power supply specifications.) Obtain the
appropriately rated power supply before continuing with troubleshooting.

Smart Battery
Will Not Charge
NOTE
The Vx670 smart battery must initially receive a full charge to calibrate its full
charge capacity.
Allow the Vx670 terminal to remain connected to the power pack for 6 hours to
ensure the battery receives a full charge.
Conserve battery power by turning the Vx670 terminal off when not in use. If the
terminal will not be used for several days, remove the battery from the terminal as
it continues to discharge even when the terminal is turned off.

The Vx670 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 may take several
recharge attempts to reset the safety circuit when charging a smart battery that
has been discharged below this critical state.
(Need info for this section)
When the Vx670 terminal display screen does not show correct or clearly readable
information:
•
Check terminal power connection.
•
Remove and reapply power to the terminal.
•
Check all cable connections and verify that the telephone line is properly
connected.
•
If the problem persists, contact your local VeriFone service provider.
Terminal Does If the terminal does not dial out:
Not Dial Out • Check the telephone line connections.
•
Check that the telephone line is working by plugging it into a working
telephone and listening for a dial tone.
•
Replace the telephone cable that connects the terminal with a cable you know
is working correctly.
•
If the problem persists, contact your local VeriFone service provider.
Printer Does Not If the printer does not work properly:

then open the cover.
WARNING
•
Remove the damaged paper from the paper roll and clear the feed
mechanism.
•
Install a roll of printer paper, as described in Installing the Paper Roll.
•
If the problem persists, it may be due to poor paper quality. Install a new
roll of higher-quality paper.
Poor-quality paper may jam the printer. To order high-quality VeriFone paper,
refer to Accessories and Documentation.
Peripheral If any peripheral device (PINpad or smart card reader) does not work properly:
Device Does Not • Check the power cord connection to the peripheral device.
Work
•
Check that the device connected to the proper port has power and is
functioning properly. If possible, perform a self-test on the device in question.
•
The cable connecting the optional device to the Vx670 terminal serial port may
be defective. Try a different serial cable. See Install the battery (see Figure
16)..
•
If the problem persists, contact your local VeriFone representative.
Keypad Does If the keypad does not respond properly:
Not Respond • Check the terminal display. If it displays the wrong character or nothing at all
when you press a key, follow the steps outlined in Transactions Fail To

Transactions
Fail To Process
•
If pressing a function key does not perform the expected action, refer to the
user documentation for that application to ensure you are entering data
correctly.
•
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 the Magnetic Card Reader
•
Perform a test transaction using one or more different magnetic stripe cards to
ensure the problem is not a defective card.

TROUBLESHOOTING G UIDELINES
Transactions Fail To Process
•
Ensure that you are swiping cards properly. With the Vx670 card reader, the
black magnetic stripe on the card should face down and inward, toward the
keypad and must be inserted from the top of the terminal (see Figure 23).
•
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.
•
Contact your VeriFone distributor or service provider.
•
If the manual transaction does not work, proceed to Check the Telephone
Line.
Check the 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 Installing/Replacing MSAM Cards).
•
Contact your VeriFone distributor or service provider.
•
If the manual transaction does not process, proceed to Check the Telephone
Line.
Check the Telephone Line
48
VX670 INSTALLATION GUIDE
•
Disconnect the telephone line from the Vx670 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.
