## Connecting IX90 to a Power Source
The device is powered by an external AC/DC power pack. When you have finished installing the optional devices, you are ready to connect the device to the power source.
The device requires connection to a power outlet with a dedicated circuit or an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). If other devices are plugged into the same circuit, the device can potentially experience power fluctuations that might cause malfunction. The device shuts down automatically once the power source is removed.
{% hint style="warning" %}
* Do not connect the device to the power supply until all peripherals are attached.
*Ne connectez pas l'appareil à l'alimentation électrique tant que tous les périphériques ne sont pas connectés.*
* Using an incorrectly rated power supply can damage the unit or cause it not to work properly. Use only a power pack with P/N PWR445-001-1-A. See [Specifications](/hardware-products/hardware/android-devices/ix90-countertop-series/ix90-m440/ix90-m440-installation-guide/specifications.md) for detailed power supply specifications.
*L'utilisation d'une alimentation mal calibrée peut endommager l'appareil ou l'empêcher de fonctionner correctement. Utilisez uniquement un bloc d'alimentation portant le numéro de pièce PWR445-001-1-A. Voir Spécifications pour les spécifications détaillées de l'alimentation.*
* Disconnecting power during a transaction can also cause unsaved data files to be lost.
*La déconnexion de l'alimentation pendant une transaction peut également entraîner la perte de fichiers de données non enregistrés.*
* Verifone recommends installing a power surge protector to protect against possible damage caused by lightning strikes and electrical surges.
*Verifone recommande d'installer un parasurtenseur pour se protéger contre d'éventuels dommages causés par la foudre et les surtensions électriques.*

## Loading a Paper Roll in the Printer
Install a paper roll before you can start a transaction that requires a receipt. The printer uses a roll of 40 mm, single-ply, thermal-sensitive paper.
A pink out-of-paper indicator line appears on the edge of the paper before the end of the roll. After this line appears, there will be paper to perform only one more transaction.
{% hint style="warning" %}
* Poor-quality paper can jam the printer and create excessive paper dust. To place an order for a high-quality Verifone paper roll, refer to [Accessories](/hardware-products/hardware/android-devices/ix90-countertop-series/ix90-m440/ix90-m440-installation-guide/service-and-support.md#accessories) section.
*Un papier de mauvaise qualité peut bloquer l'imprimante et créer une poussière de papier excessive. Pour passer une commande d'un rouleau de papier Verifone de haute qualité, reportez-vous à la section Accessoires et 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.
*Conservez le papier thermique dans un endroit sec et sombre. Manipulez le papier thermique avec précaution : les chocs, la friction, la température, l'humidité et les huiles affectent la couleur et les caractéristiques de stockage du papier.*
* Never load a roll of paper with folds, wrinkles, tears, or holes at the edges.
*Ne chargez jamais un rouleau de papier présentant des plis, des rides, des déchirures ou des trous sur les bords.*
{% endhint %}
### To install a paper roll

{% endstep %}
{% step %}
#### Remove any partial roll
Remove any partial roll of paper in the tray.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
#### Pull the paper past the printer door
Pull the paper past the printer door.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
#### Loosen the leading edge
Loosen the glued leading edge of the new paper roll or remove the protective strip. Unwind the paper roll past any glue residue.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
#### Hold the roll correctly
Hold the roll so that the paper feeds from the bottom of the roll.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
Figure 12 — Aligning paper roll
#### Align the paper
Align the printer paper to the tabs to the paper guides and hold the paper up when closing the door.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
#### Close the printer door
With the printer paper extending outside, close the printer door by swinging upward until the door clicks shut, allowing the printer paper to extend outside the printer door.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
Insert the smart card to proceed with the EMV transaction. EMV supports credit card and debit card transactions.
\* Position the smart card with the contacts facing upward. \* Insert the card into the reader slot in a smooth, continuous motion until it sits firmly. \* Wait for the application to indicate a completed transaction before removing the card. Premature card removal invalidates the transaction.
