Applications

Standard payment applications are available from VeriFone to interface with most 
ECRs. Applications for the terminals are written using a C-based programming 
language. These programs can be downloaded directly from an ECR or a 
development PC using the MX 800 Series terminal System Mode. 

Terminal System Mode can also be used for diagnostics, changing the password, 
and Master Key injection. For further information on System Mode, see the 

MX 800 Series Reference Manual

.

Total Cost of

Ownership

The MX 800 Series terminals have been designed to be flexible and 

future proof

delivering a low total cost of ownership.

The modular terminals can be configured at the factory or in the field by a trained 
technician. The flexibility and versatility of the terminals allow use of the terminals 
with different capabilities in different stores or locations. The terminals can be 
purchased with the modules that meet today's requirements, and other 
capabilities can be added as and when needed.
