TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDELINES

Printer Paper Jam

Printer Paper Jam

If paper jams inside the printer:

Press the button on the side of the terminal to unlatch the paper roll cover, then open the cover.

Remove the damaged paper from the paper roll and clear the feed mechanism.

Install a roll of printer paper, as described in Install the Paper Roll.

If the problem persists, it may be due to poor paper quality. Install a new roll of higher-quality paper.

WARNING

Poor-quality paper may jam the printer. To order high-quality VeriFone paper, refer to Accessories and Documentation.

Peripheral

Device Does Not

Work

If any peripheral device (PINpad or smart card reader) does not work properly:

Check the power cord connection to the peripheral device.

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 Vx5xx/Vx6xx terminal serial port may be defective. Try a different serial cable. See Connect Optional Device(s).

If the problem persists, contact your local VeriFone representative.

Keypad Does Not Respond

If the keypad does not respond properly:

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 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.

Transactions Fail To Process

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.

Ensure that you are swiping cards properly. With the Vx5xx/Vx6xx 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 30).
