indicated by the “NPM” icon on the top of the payment application screen.
NOTE: Only use paper approved by the manufacturer (roll diameter max 40
mm/1.57″, roll width 58mm/2 ¼”, roll length 17m/55′). Using unapproved paper
can damage the terminal’s printer.
To change the paper roll, follow the steps below:
1. Pull up the flap at the top of the terminal.
2. To install a new thermal paper roll, drop in the paper roll with the paper
pulling from the back and out the top of the roll. Pull about 2″ of paper out
and close the lid until the lid snaps into place.
NOTE: If you insert a new R40 paper roll, tear off the first length (one
complete turn to avoid printing on adhesive tape footprint).
To maximize the life of the thermal paper rolls, do not store them where they
are exposed to fluorescent light, UV light, high humidity (above 65%), or
temperature (above 25° C or 77° F) for a long period of time. Do not place
them near vinyl, plastics, adhesives, shrink-wraps, wet-toner copiers, or
carbon paper for prolonged periods. Order thermal paper that meets the
following specifications: Roll width: 58 mm (2 ¼”) Roll diameter: 40 mm
(1.57″)
Troubleshooting
Receipt paper is jammed 1. To avoid paper jams: Tear the receipt by pulling
the paper forward. 2. To clear a paper jam: Remove the paper roll and reinsert
it.

Card reader does not work properly (cards are not read)
1. When sliding the card through the reader, make sure the magnetic stripe on
the card is facing the side of the terminal display screen.
2. Swipe the card at a faster or slower steady speed.
3. Swipe the card in the other direction.
4. Perform a test transaction using one or more magnetic stripe cards to
ensure the problem is not a defective card.
5. Inspect the magnetic stripe on the card to make sure it is not scratched
or badly worn. To determine if the problem is with the card, ask the customer
for another card or try swiping the card on another terminal.
Terminal does not work properly
1. Make sure the power cable connector is fully inserted into the terminal or
optional base.
2. To restart the terminal, unplug the power cable and then plug it back in.
3. To reboot, press and hold the small rectangle button on the left side of
the terminal for 2-4 seconds, and then release.
4. When you are presented with the four options: Airplane mode, Vibration,
Reboot, Power off. Tap Reboot, then select Reboot again. The device will then
reboot.
5. Plug the terminal into another electrical outlet to see if it is an
electrical problem.
6. If you have another working terminal, swap the terminals to determine if
the problem is with the terminal, cable, or power outlet.
NOTE: Changes or modifications to this terminal not expressly approved by
Global Payments could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Receipt is blank If the receipt is blank, confirm that the roll of paper has
been properly inserted into the terminal and the correct paper type is being
used.
Cleaning
NOTE: Before cleaning the terminal, ensure the power is off.
To clean the terminal, follow these instructions: 1. To prevent damage to the
terminal and to avoid electric shock, unplug
the power supply before cleaning the terminal. 2. To remove dust from the
terminal, wipe with a damp cloth. 3. For deeper cleaning, make a solution of
soap and water, dampen a
soft cloth with the solution, and wipe the terminal’s covers.
Caution: Do not spray or pour cleaning liquid directly on the terminal. If you
allow any liquid to enter inside the case, serious damage to the device may
result. Do not use abrasive cleaners; they can destroy the plastic and cause
serious damage to the terminal. Do not clean the electrical connectors.
