If using the optional swivel base (refer to “Accessories and
Documentation‚” page 36), follow the swivel base’s
instructions before installing your Omni 3350 terminal.
Step 1: Select a Location for the Terminal
When selecting a location, consider these important factors:
Ease of Use
•A location convenient for both merchant and cardholder.
•A flat support surface, such as a countertop or table.
•A location near a power outlet and a telephone/modem
line connection.
Environment
•Do not use the terminal where there is high heat, dust,
humidity, moisture, or caustic chemicals or oils.
•A v oid locations n ear electrical ap pliances o r 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).
•Keep the terminal away from direct sunlight and anything
that radiates heat, such as a stove or a motor.
Caution: Do not use the terminal outdoors. It is not waterproof
or dustproof, and is for indoor use onl y . Any damage to the unit
from exposure to rain or dust may void your warranty.
Warning: Due to risk of shock or terminal damage, do not use
the terminal near water, including a bathtub, wash bowl, kitchen
sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming
pool. Also, avoid using this product during electrical storms.
Step 2: Unpack the Shipping Carton
1.Open the shipping carton and carefully inspect its contents
for possible tampering or shipping damage (Figure 1).
Warning: Do not use a terminal that has been damaged or
tampered with.
Note: The Omni 3350 terminal comes equipped with tamperevident labels (one on the case seam, another on a screw hole
on the case bottom). If a label or component appears damaged,
please immediately notify the shipping company and your
VeriFone distributor or service provider.
•Three types of keys:
–A 12-key, telephone- style keypad
–Eight function keys (four to the right of the 12-key
keypad, and four above the keypad)
–Four ATM-style keys to the display’s right
•A magnetic stripe card reader, built into the
right side. The icon at right shows the proper
swipe direction, with the strip outward.
•A green/red indicator LED (Light Emitting Diode). A
steady green light indicates power is on; flashing green
indicates no paper in the printer. A steady red light
indicates a memory problem; flashing red indicates the
terminal is downloading printer-related files.
•An internal printer. The paper feed button
(icon at right) feeds paper through the printer.
•An on/off switch, located on the side, below
the paper feed button.
•A primary smart card reader, built into the
terminal’s right side. A gr aphical icon (shown
at right) indicates the proper card position and
insertion direction, with the chip inward and
down.
Note: An adhesive-backed, smart card reader cover is
provided for terminals that will not utilize the smart card
reader. To use the cover, simply remove the backing and affix
the cover over the primary smart card reader slot and icon.
Doing so will prevent accumlation of debris in the reader and
reduce customer confusion.
•A SAM (security access module) drawer, built into the
bottom left side of the terminal. The Omni 3350 terminal
contains four micromodule-size SAM (MSAM)
cardholders for supporting multiple stored-value card
programs or other merchant card requirements. In
addition, the drawer itself can hold one standard-size
merchant smart card.
Connection Ports on the Back Panel
Beneath the paper roll holder (Figure 3), you will see one of
the following jack, or port, configurations based on your
terminal’s modem type.
The first port is identified by a telephone-shaped
“Telset” icon (shown at right). Use this port to
connect a telephone to the Omni 3350.
Telco, ISDN, Dial/Leased-Line Port
The second port is identified by the icon shown at
right. Use this port to connect the Omni 3350 to a
telephone wall jack.
Ports for Attaching Optional Peripherals Devices:
In the center are two RJ45-type modular jacks (serial ports):
•The “RS232” serial port (icon shown at right)
connects a VeriFone CR 600 check reader or
other peripheral device.
•The other serial port (identified by “Bar Code”
and “PIN Pad” icons at right) connects a PIN
pad, smart card reader, or bar code wand.
Power Connection Port
•On the lower right is a round port with a lock
notch for securely connecting the terminal to a
power source (identified by the “electrical
power” icon at right).
Step 4: Connect the Terminal to a Telephone Line
1.Direct connection — A telephone cord runs
from the Telco, ISDN, Dial/Leased-Line Port
on the terminal directly to a telephone wall
jack (Figure 4). With a direct connection, the
line is dedicated to the terminal.
2.Pass-through connection (high-speed
modem only) — A telephone cord (VeriFone
part number 00124-17) runs from the Telset
port on the terminal to the RJ11-type jack on a
standard telephone (Figure 5). With a passthrough connection, the line is busy during transactions
and terminal downloads.
To lock the connector into the power port,
align the plastic lock tab so it points up. Insert
the connector, then twist it as indicated by the
“arrow” icon above the port (“arrow” and
“lock” icons shown at right).
To unlock the connector, twist it to the right,
toward the “unlocked” icon (shown at right).
2.Plug in the power pack.
14
Warning: Do not plug the power pack into an outdoor outlet or
operate the terminal outdoors. Also, disconnecting power
during a transaction may cause transaction d ata files that are not yet stored in terminal memory to be lost.
Note: To protect against possible damage caused by lightning
strikes and electrical surges, you may want to install a power
surge protector.
When the terminal has power, the display screen lights and the
green LED indicator flashes on and off (if the printer has no
paper), or solid green if paper is loaded.
Step 6: Install a Paper Roll in the Printer
The internal printer uses single-ply, thermal-sensitive paper 58
millimeters (2.25 inches) wide and about 25 meters (82 feet)
long.
Warning: Poor-quality paper may jam the printer. For highquality VeriFone paper, refer to the “Accessories and
Documentation” section.
Caution: Store thermal paper in a dry, dark area. Handle
thermal paper carefully: impact, friction, temperature,
humidity, and oil affect the color and storage characteristics of
the paper. Never load a roll of paper with folds, wrinkles, tears,
or holes at the edges or in the printing area. For best results, cut
a straight edge on the paper with sciss ors bef ore feeding it into
the printer.
Install a Paper Roll
1.Turn on the terminal. (The green LED indicator will blink
on and off, indicating the printer needs p a per.)
2.Remove the paper roll cover by lifting it up (Figure 7).
Two ridges on the cover’s sides show where to grasp it.
A built-in sensor detects the paper and pulls it through and
out the unit’s top, just below the serrated metal tear strip.
5.If necessary, press the paper feed button until about
5 centimeters (2 inches) of paper emerge from the top.
6.Insert the orange plastic spindle into the paper roll, and
place into the cradle so the spindle’s ends rest securely in
the two slots.
7.Replace the cover by inserting the two front tabs first and
lightly pushing down until it snaps into place (Figure 9).
Ensure the paper’s edge is outside the cover.
Paper Roll Spindle
Figure 9Paper Roll, Spindle, and Cover
Note: To adjust paper position, lift the small red release lever
on the cradle’s right side (Figure 7) until it snaps “up.” The
paper now freely moves in the paper path. When the paper is
correctly positioned, lower the lever until it snaps “down.”
For paper ordering information, refer to “Accessories and
Documentation‚” page 36.
2.Hold down the paper feed button and turn on the terminal.
The printer test starts, then stops after a few seconds.
When the test begins printing, release the paper feed
button.
The test printout, with printer information and repeating
character strings, is about 38 centimeters (15 inches) long.
3.Press the paper feed button to advance the paper roll a few
centimeters (inches), then tear off the test printout.
Congratulations! Your Omni 3350 terminal should now be
completely installed and ready to use.
Step 7: Instal l/Replace MSAM Cards
18
When you first receive your Omni 3350 terminal, you may
need to install a merchant smart card, or one or more
micromodule-size SAM (MSAM) cards. Or you may need to
replace old cards with new ones. The directions below describe
both procedures.
Caution: Observe standard precautions for handling
electrostatically sensitive devices. Electrostatic discharges can
damage this equipment.
1.Turn off power to the terminal.
2.T o install a merchant smart card, gr ip the SAM drawer and
pinch the locking lever (Figure 10). If the drawer already

3.Slide the SAM drawer from the terminal (Figure 10).
4.Remove any previously-installed merchant smart card by
pulling the card from the SAM drawer.
To install or replace an MSAM card, go to Step 5.
Otherwise, go to Step 11.
5.Turn the terminal over (Figure 11) on a soft, clean surface
(to protect the lens from scratches). The four MSAM
cardholders are now accessible. Each cardholder consists
of a hinged tilt-up cover attached to a connector base.
8.Remove any previously-installed MSAM card by sliding
the card from the cover.
9.Install an MSAM card by aligning the card and carefully
sliding it within the guides on the cover until fully
inserted.
Note: Th e car dho lder conn ector base has a set of contacts and
a notch post on one corner to ensure the MSAM card is
positioned correctly when the cover is closed. The MSAM card
has a notch on one corner to ensure it fits into the connector
base in only one way. Before inserting the MSAM card,
position it as shown in Figure 13, with the card’s gold contacts
facing the terminal’s base.
10. Pivot the cover into its connector base (Figure 13).
11. Lock each MSAM cardholder by sliding its locking plate,
as shown by the LOCK arrow, until the plate stops
(Figure 12).
Caution: To avoid dam age to the MSAM cardho ld ers, ens ure
each cardholder is locked before sliding the SAM drawer back
into the terminal.
12. Insert a standard-size merchant smart card into the SAM
drawer as shown in Figure 10.
13. Slide the drawer back into the Omni 3350 terminal.
14. Lift up on the lever to lock the drawer into place.
Step 8: Use the Primary Smart Card Reader
1.To conduct a transaction, position a smart card and insert
it into the smart card reader slot in a smooth, continuous
motion until it seats firmly with a “click” (Figure 14).
Caution: Leave the smart card in the card reader until the
transaction is completed. Premature removal will invalidate the
transaction.
