4. Setup
Follow these steps to properly connect your Verifone VX805/VX820 USB Cable:
- Identify Connectors: Locate the USB Type A connector (standard rectangular USB) and the proprietary connector on the cable.
- Connect to Verifone Terminal: Carefully insert the proprietary connector into the corresponding port on your Verifone VX805 or VX820 payment terminal. Ensure it is firmly seated.
- Connect to Host System: Insert the USB Type A connector into an available USB port on your host system (e.g., computer, point-of-sale system).
- Verify Connection: Once connected, your Verifone terminal should power on (if not already) and be recognized by the host system. Refer to your Verifone terminal's manual for specific software or driver installation requirements.
5. Operating Instructions
Once the Verifone VX805/VX820 USB Cable is properly connected, it facilitates two primary functions:
- Data Transfer: The cable enables communication between the Verifone terminal and the host system. This is essential for processing transactions, updating software, and transmitting transaction data.
- Power Delivery: The cable also supplies power to the Verifone terminal from the host system's USB port, allowing the terminal to operate and charge its internal battery (if applicable).
No specific operational steps are required for the cable itself beyond proper connection. Its function is passive, providing the necessary physical and electrical link between devices.
6. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable performance of your USB cable:
- Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the cable for any signs of wear, fraying, cuts, or damage to the connectors. Replace the cable if any damage is observed.
- Cleaning: Keep the cable and its connectors free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth for cleaning. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Storage: When not in use, store the cable in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid tightly coiling the cable or placing heavy objects on it.
- Disconnect Properly: Always grasp the connector housing when disconnecting the cable, rather than pulling on the cable itself.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Verifone VX805/VX820 USB Cable, consider the following:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Terminal not recognized by host system. | Loose connection, faulty cable, incorrect drivers. | Ensure cable is securely connected at both ends. Try a different USB port on the host system. Test with another known-good cable if available. Verify that necessary drivers for the Verifone terminal are installed on the host system. |
| Terminal not powering on/charging. | Insufficient power from USB port, faulty cable, terminal issue. | Ensure the USB port provides adequate power (some older or unpowered hubs may not). Try a different USB port. Test with another known-good cable. Check the Verifone terminal's power status independently. |
| Intermittent connection. | Damaged cable, loose connection, electromagnetic interference. | Inspect the cable for visible damage. Ensure connections are firm. Try to route the cable away from other electronic devices that might cause interference. |
If problems persist after attempting these solutions, contact Verifone support or your product reseller for further assistance.
