1.3 Getting started
Pax A80 comes with ethernet connectivity only. In order for this to be set
up correctly, you only need to put the ethernet cable in the LAN port as
shown below:
2. Battery
Before starting your Handpoint SmartPOS solution with the Pax A80,
the terminal should ideally be fully charged, using the provided charging
cable into the power port. You can either opt for the battery-powered A80
or keep the charging cable plugged in for power.
3. Security
Handpoint’s payment platform includes stringent P2PE (point to point
encryption) security which protects sensitive card data. Please note that
as a merchant, you are responsible for the security at the point of sale,
so at least once in every three months you should inspect your card
reader carefully for signs of fraud. Look for examples of signs that the
card reader may have been tampered with or substituted.
4. Printing
The PAX A80 includes an in-built printer to print receipts with a thermal
paper roll.
Here are the steps for changing the printer paper roll:
1. On the top of the card reader, pull out the paper lid release leaver
(towards the front) and open the lid casing
2. Remove the paper roll by simply pulling it out of the slot
3. Insert the new thermal paper roll in the same slot with the glossy side
of the paper sheet facing out the top
4. Pull out around 2 inches of the paper sheet and close the close over
it until the lid snaps into place
5. Tear off any excess paper (pulling up towards the front of the card
reader)
Now your card reader is ready to print receipts after a transaction is
carried out.
