Installing the
Paper Roll
A fast, quiet thermal printer is built into the VX 680 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 38 millimeters in diameter. 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.
To Install a Paper Roll
1 Gently pull the latch located on the bottom of the terminal to unlock the paper
roll cover.
Figure 13 Unlocking the Printer Cover
2 Lift the printer cover up and back.
3 Remove any partial roll of paper in the printer tray.
4 Loosen the glued leading edge of the new roll of paper or remove the
protective strip, if applicable. Unwind the paper roll past any glue residue.
5 Hold the roll so the paper feeds from the bottom of the roll when the terminal is
inverted (see Figure 14).
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.
