# Device Overview

This chapter provides a brief description of V200c and V400c terminals.

These devices offer several communication options, an enhanced display, increased processing power, and two USB peripheral ports.

V200c and V400c terminals use a robust, sleek, and highly functional design.

## Features and Benefits

Each V200c and V400c is an all-in-one countertop payment system that provides magnetic-stripe card reader (MSR) and smart card (SC) payment processing with a fast internal thermal printer (ITP). The V200c and V400c has a clear color TFT LCD display, and the V400c adds touchscreen capability. The V200c CTLS, V200c Plus, V400c, and V400c Plus offer quick contactless (CTLS) functionality.

  * V400c terminals are PCI PTS POI v5.x approved
* EMV L1 Type Approval (contact and contactless)
* Tamper-resistant construction, TLS protocols, and VeriShield file authentication
* Supports VeriShield Protect encryption implementations

## Form Factor

* V200c and V400c terminals are ergonomically designed to fit both the traditional countertop and hand-over models.

## Exceptional Ease of Use

* Flexible UI capabilities:
  * V200c: 4-way navigation button with two selection keys for UI access
  * V400c: on-screen navigation and selection
* Contactless functionality offers a convenient payment option for consumers.
* Bold design is sleek, stylish, and lightweight for conveniently handing the terminal to the consumer for PIN entry or other input.
* Large backlit display with backlit keypad, and extra-size menu prompts, simplify training and reduce help desk calls.
* Multiple font-capable integrated thermal printer simplifies paper loading and reduces paper jams. Uses 57 mm wide x up to 40 mm diameter paper rolls and prints at 30 lines per second (LPS).
* Triple-track, high-coercivity card reader handles most magnetic stripe cards.

## Countertop Performance in a Hand-Over Design

* 32-bit processing and multi-tasking capability ensures fast processing of payment, payment-related, and value-added applications.
* Exceptional display and printer graphics-handling capabilities that quickly render logos, graphical fonts, and character-based languages.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.verifone.com/hardware-products/hardware/engage-devices/vxxx-series/v400c/v400c-installation-guide/device-overview.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
