Installing the
Paper Roll in the
Printer
A fast, quiet thermal printer is built into the VX 520 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 VX 520 uses a roll of single-ply, thermal-sensitive paper for either the 38 mm-
or the 49 mm-diameter version.
A pink out-of-paper indicator line appears on the edge of the paper approximately
18 in 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
1 Hook your finger under the latch and lift up to swing the paper roll cover open
(see Figure 9).
Figure 9 Opening the Printer Cover
2 Remove any partial roll of paper in the printer tray by lifting it up.
3 Loosen the glued leading edge of the new paper roll or remove the protective
strip. Unwind the paper roll past any glue residue.
4 Hold the roll so the paper feeds from the bottom of the roll.
NOTE
VeriFone ships variants of the VX 520 terminal for different markets. Your terminal
may have a different configuration. The basic processes described in this guide
remain the same, regardless of terminal configuration.
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.
