Connecting To A Pos Terminal Or Ecr - VeriFone QX100 Installation Manual

7. Connecting to a POS Terminal or
ECR
The QX100 includes an integrated power/communication cable,
which has either an RS-232 plug or a USB plug at one end for
connection to a POS terminal or ECR (or PC-POS).
There is also an optional RS-232–9-pin D type connection/power
cable, that allows you to plug a contactless reader with the
RS-232 cable into a PC-POS as well as an external power
supply. This can be used with a host device that is not capable
of supplying power through the connector cable.
•
Turn off the POS terminal or ECR whenever you
connect or disconnect the contactless reader.
• Do not disconnect the contactless reader when the
POS terminal or ECR is processing data.
Refer to the documentation of the device to which the
reader is to be connected for specific connection
instructions.
To connect to a POS terminal or ECR:
1. Disconnect the POS terminal or ECR from its electrical
power supply.
2. Insert the contactless reader RS-232 or USB plug into the
RJ-45 (COM) or USB connector on the POS terminal or ECR.
3. Reconnect the POS terminal, ECR, or PC-POS to its
electrical power supply.
