Considerations
PIN Protection
Measures
•The unit must be used in an attended environment.
•Do not use the terminal where there is high heat, dust, humidity, moisture, or
caustic chemicals or oils.
•Keep the unit away from direct sunlight and anything that radiates heat, such
as a stove or motor.
•Do not use the unit outdoors.
The Carbon 8 is not waterproof or dustproof, and is intended for indoor use only.
Any damage to the unit from exposure to rain or dust may void any warranty.
•Avoid using the Carbon 8 during electrical storms.
•Place the device 10 cm away from metallic objects to avoid interference with
the CTLS field.
•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).
A
•Do not use the terminal near water or in moist conditions.

EV
•Position the Carbon 8 on the stand in such a way as to make visual

Unpacking the
Shipping Carton
To unpack the
shipping carton
•Visual shields designed into the check-st and. These sh ields may be solely
for shielding purposes, or may be part of the general check-stand design.
•Position the Carbon 8 so that it is angled in such a way that PIN spying is
difficult.
•Position the in-store security cameras so that PIN entry is not visible.
•Use signage to limit the view of the Carbon 8 to just that of the cardholder.
•Offer PIN security literature at the point of sale.
Open the shipping carton and carefully inspect its conten ts for possible t ampering
or shipping damage. The Carbon 8 is a secure product and any tampering may
cause the device to cease to function properly.
1Validate the authenticity of the sender by verifying the shipping tracking
number and other information located on the product order paperwork.

5Save the shipping carton and packing material for future repacking or moving
of the device.
Do not use a unit that has been tampered with or otherwise damaged. This unit
comes equipped with tamper-evident labels. If a label or component appears
damaged, immediately notify the shipping company and your Verifone
representative or service provider.
Periodically inspect the Carbon 8 terminal for possible tampering. Signs of
tampering include:
•Wires protruding out of the device.
•Foreign objects inserted into the smart card slot or magnetic stripe slot.
•Signs of damage to the tamper-evident labels.
•A Tamper Warning message on the device displays.
If any device is found in tamper state, please remove it from service immediately,
keep it available for potential forensics investigation, and notify your company
security officer and your local Verifone representative or service provider. For
contacting Verifone, please see “Service and Support”.

Loading a Paper Roll in the Printer
Loading a Paper
Roll in the
Printer
To install a paper roll
Before you can process transactions that require a receipt, you must install paper
in the printer.
The Carbon 8 Printer Module uses a roll of 80 mm x 80 mm, single-ply, thermalsensitive paper.
A pink out-of-paper indicator line appears on the edge of the p aper before the end
of the roll. After this line appears, there is enough paper remaining on the roll to
conclude at least one more transaction.
When the LED by the printer door blinks amber, this indicates the printer is out of
paper.
Poor-quality paper can jam the printer and create excessive paper dust. To order
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.

Tuck the cables under the Stand legs when all cables are installed. This provides
some protection to the cables and connectors.
Some devices (such as PIN pads) may require a separate power source. Before
connecting to any device, remove the power cord from the Carbon 8 Stand.
Contact your Verifone representative or visit the online store at
www.store.verifone.com for information on these devices.
