Using the Verifone 250 Receipt Printer with MPI 2002

Connecting The Verifone 250 Receipt Printer

With all of the parts listed in the previous section, we are now ready to connect the receipt printer to your computer. First, lets assemble the various receipt printer parts. (DO NOT INSTALL THE POWER PACK AT THIS TIME. ENSURE THAT THE POWER PACK IS NOT PLUGGED INTO THE WALL.)

Setting DIP Switches

By default, the DIP Switches on your printer should already be correctly set. However, it is a good idea to check these setting before proceeding. The DIP Switches on your printer are located under the Ribbon Cartridge. Remove the Ribbon Cover from the Printer Unit by simultaneously pressing-in and pulling-up on the grooved thumb button on the front panel of your printer. (Below the printer nameplate.) If the Ribbon Cartridge is already installed, gently remove it by pulling up on each side evenly. To the right of the ribbon cartridge assembly (the rectangular metal box that the Ribbon Cartridge sits over) are the DIP Switches.

Turn the entire Printer Unit clockwise until you are looking at the right-side of the unit. Your DIP Switches should look like the diagram on the next page. If they are not, move each DIP Switch using a ballpoint pen or pencil until they all match the illustration.
