Installing SAM
Cards –
Additional Steps
The following are the additional steps required to install SAM cards once the first
two steps of installation is completed.
Often merchants are issued SAM cards to run small applications, such as loyalty
programs. SAM cards are only used with M
x
800 Series terminal Smart Card
configurations.
1
Remove the power cord and/or battery from the terminal.
2
Place the terminal upside down on a soft, clean surface to protect the lens
from scratches.
3
Remove the SAM compartment door screw and rotate the door up and back to
access the SAM cardholders.
4
Remove any previously installed SAM card by sliding the card from the MSAM
cardholder.
5
Install an MSAM card by aligning the card and carefully sliding it within the
guides on the cover until it is fully inserted.
Installing Trim
Plate
The M
x
800 Series terminal can be fitted with interchangeable trim plates to
customize the appearance of the terminal.
1
Insert the trim plate by lining up the three notches of the face plate into the
unit.
2
Firmly snap the top part of the trim plate to secure the new trim plate.

Installing the trim plate.
NOTE
Before inserting the SAM card, position it with the card’s gold contacts facing the
smart car reader end of the terminal. The cardholder connector base has a set of
contacts and a notch on one corner to ensure the SAM card is positioned correctly.
The SAM card has a notch on one corner to ensure that it fits into the connector
base in only one way. The SAM compartment door will not close properly if the
SAM cards are installed incorrectly.
