Device Setup
This chapter describes the device setup procedure.
Device Location
The following are the guidelines used to select an ideal location for the device.
The device must be used in an attended environment.
Ease of Use
Select a location convenient for both the merchant and the cardholder.
Select a flat support surface less than two meters high, such as a counter top or table, or secure the device on a stand mount supplied by Verifone.
Select a location near a power outlet, POS, ECR, or computer connected to the device. For safety, do not string cables or cords across a walkway.
Environmental Factors
Do not use the device where there is excess heat, dust, humidity, moisture, caustic chemicals or oils.
The device is rated and designed not to be used in dusty or moist environment when mounted on a stand.
Keep the device away from direct sunlight and anything that radiates heat, such as a stove or a motor.
Do not use the device outdoors.
Electrical Considerations
Avoid using this product during electrical storms.
Avoid locations near electrical appliances or other devices that cause excessive voltage fluctuations or emit electrical noise (for example, air conditioners, electric motors, neon signs, high-frequency or magnetic security devices, or computer equipment).
Avoid using the device near water or in moist conditions.
Disconnect the device from its POS device before cleaning.
Do not use the device near water, including a bathtub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool to avoid shock or damage.
Contactless Considerations
Avoid having metallic objects in proximity of the contactless antenna. If you need to mount the device onto a vertical or inclined surface, use Verifone approved stand.
Using an enclosed metal frame or mount may negatively affect contactless performance.
PIN Protection Measures
Use the following techniques to provide effective screening of the PIN-entry keypad during the PIN entry process. You can use these methods in combination, although in some cases a single method might suffice.
Position the device on the check-in stand in such a way as to block visual observation of the PIN-entry process. Examples include:
Visual shields designed into the check-in stand. The shields may be solely for shielding purposes or may be part of the general check-in stand design.
Position the angle of the device in such a way that PIN spying is difficult.
Install the PED on an adjustable stand that allows consumers to swivel the device sideways and/or tilt it forward/backward to a position that makes visual observation of the PIN-entry process difficult.
Position in-store security cameras so that the PIN-entry keypad is not visible.
The following table describes the two preferred mounting methods and the recommended measures to protect against PIN capture in four observation corridors:
Table 3 — Mounting Methods and Protection Measures
Countertop without stand
Use signage behind the PED
Install so that customer is between PED and next in queue
No action needed
Do not install within view of cameras
Countertop with stand
No action needed
Install so that customer is between PED and next in queue
No action needed
Do not install within view of cameras
Verifone also recommends instructing the cardholder regarding safe PIN-entry. This can be done with a combination of:
Signage on the PED
Prompts on the display, possibly with a click-through screen
Literature at the point of sale
A logo for safe PIN-entry process.
Mounting Considerations
Verifone recommends the use of an approved stand for all mounting situations. Position the device conveniently in relation to power, POS, ECR, and LAN connections. Ensure the T650c device is placed in a manner that allows customers to swipe their magnetic cards or insert their Smart Cards in a smooth and comfortable motion without encountering obstructions. If the unit needs to be swiveled during normal operation, Verifone recommends the use of an approved swivel stand.

Loading a Paper Roll in Device with
Install a paper roll before you can start transactions that require a receipt.
The T650c Stand uses a roll of 58 mm x 50 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 is enough paper remaining on the roll to perform at least one more transaction.
Poor-quality paper can jam the printer and create excessive paper dust. To place order for 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.
To install a paper roll
Hold both sides of the paper door, which is on the upper corner of the device and open the paper door by pulling outside (See below Figure 11).
Remove any partial roll of paper in the tray.

Loosen the glued leading edge of the new paper roll or remove the protective strip. Unwind the paper roll past any glue residue.
Hold the roll so that paper feeds from the top of the roll.
Pull the paper past the printer door.
Align the printer paper to the tabs to the paper guides and hold the paper up when closing the door.
