c Four unlabeled, programmable function keys above the keypad.
d Three color-coded function keys below the
keypad (icons at right; from left to right: CANCEL,
BACKSPACE/CLEAR, ENTER).

• A magnetic card reader, built into the right side. The icon at right
shows the proper swipe direction, with the stripe down and facing
inward, toward the keypad.
• The VeriFone logo blue indicator LED indicates power is ON.
• An internal thermal printer.
• A smart card reader, built into the front of the terminal. The
icon shown at right indicates proper card position and
insertion direction.
• Three SAM (security access module) compartments, built into the side of
the terminal. The VX 520 terminal contains MSAM cardholders to support
multiple stored-value card programs or other merchant card requirements.
Connection Ports
Turn the terminal upside down and remove the rear cover to view the connection
ports. Notice that the ports are recessed. Different ports provide connections to a
communications line, optional peripheral devices, and the power supply.
NOTE
VeriFone ships variants of the VX 520 terminal for different markets. Your terminal
may have a different configuration. However, the basic processes described in this
guide remain the same, regardless of terminal configuration.
