Transactions
Fail To Process
There are several reasons why the device may not be processing transactions.
Use the following steps to troubleshoot failures.
Check the Magnetic Card Reader
• Perform a test transaction using one or more different magnetic stripe cards to
ensure the problem is not a defective card.
• The side of the card where the black magnetic stripe is should be visible.
Insert the magnetic stripe card from the top of the device going downwards in
a smooth and continuous manner (see
Figure 10).
Check the Smart Card Reader
• Perform a test transaction using several different smart cards to ensure the
problem is not a defective card.
• Ensure that the card is inserted correctly and that the card is not removed
prematurely.
• Ensure the MSAM cards are properly inserted (see Installing/Replacing an
MSAM Card).
• Contact your Verifone distributor or service provider.
Do NOT paste anything on the keypad surface to avoid malfunction.
