VX 520 TERMINAL
WITH MAGIC BOX
PAPER ROLL
Before you get started
1. Use the table below to confirm that you received all the necessary items in your Welcome Kit.
POWER CABLE
ALL-IN-ONE CONNECTION CABLE
2. If your terminal will communicate with the Moneris host over high-speed Ethernet, review the Moneris IP
Readiness Checklist (available at moneris.com/checklist) to ensure that your Ethernet service is ready to support your terminal.
3. Make sure you have the following information:
Your 13-digit Moneris Merchant ID (found in your “Important information” email). Settlement responsibility (found in your Welcome Email): System Close (Moneris closes your batch at
the end of each day), or Merchant Close (you are responsible for closing your batch at the end of each day).
Optional features e.g., gift cards, loyalty cards, Ernex Terminal ID (found in your Moneris Gift & Loyalty
Welcome letter).
If any of the above required elements are missing, please call Moneris Customer Care toll-free at
1-866-319-7450.
ETHERNET CABLE AND/OR DIAL CABLE
Moneris® VX 520: Reference Guide 5
Hardware setup
Follow these instructions to set up your terminal hardware.
1. Connecting the cables to the Magic Box on the all-in-one cable
a. Insert the Ethernet cable into the ETH port. b. Insert the dial cable into the dial port (marked
with the symbol).
c. Insert the power cable into the power port
(marked with the symbol).
Important: You must use the exact power cable provided by Moneris to work with the Moneris VX 520 terminal. Failure to do so may affect the operability of, or cause damage to, the equipment.
d. Proceed to Completing the hardware setup on page 7.
Moneris® VX 520: Reference Guide 6
Completing the hardware setup
2. Connecting the other ends of the cables
a. Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into the router/switch/hub/internal wiring – whatever is
applicable to the high-speed Internet service at your specific location (please refer to the Moneris IP Readiness Checklist if necessary; available at moneris.com/checklist).
b. Plug the other end of the dial cable into an analog phone jack.
Recommendations: Use a dedicated phone line for the terminal. Sharing the line with another device can cause communication problems on the terminal. If using a splitter, test both devices and note that the terminal and the other device cannot use the phone line at the same time.
c. Plug the other end of the power cable into a wall jack.
Recommendation: Use an extension cord with surge protection.
3. Load paper
Note: You must use thermal-sensitive paper rolls. Shop for point-of-sale supplies and paper online at
shop.moneris.com.
a. Open the paper well (located above the
display screen): Look for the symbol on the dark plastic latch, gently pull up on the latch, then lift the paper well lid up and back.
b. Prepare the new paper roll: Remove the sticker and unwind the roll past any sticker residue on
the paper, then tear off the unwound portion of the paper.
Moneris® VX 520: Reference Guide 7
c. Place the paper roll into the paper well so
that the paper rolls out from the underside of the roll.
d. Pull the leading edge of the paper up until any glue residue on the paper roll is past the cutting
teeth of the printer.
e. Close the printer cover and lock it by gently pressing directly on it until it clicks shut. f. Tear off the loose end of the paper by pulling it down then sideways across the metal teeth. g. From the applications menu, select DEBIT & CREDIT, and then press the 3 key to feed paper
through the printer to ensure it is working properly.
