6. Re-install the battery cover on the terminal and slide the lock switch to the lock position on the left and turn the terminal over.

1. Insert the USB cable in the AC outlet and connect the outlet to an AC plug.

2. Insert the micro USB connector in the terminal’s charging port, located on the left side, below the Volume Down button. The terminal begins charging.

Installing the Printer Paper

If the supplied roll of printer paper was not already installed in the terminal when you received it, you will need to install it before you can print any transaction receipts.

To install the printer paper:

1. On the back of the terminal at the top, lift the lever to unlock and open the printer cover.

1. The paper tray contains an illustration of how to install the roll of paper.

1. Place the roll of printer paper in the paper tray, leaving about 2 inches (5 cm) of paper beyond the printer's cutter.

1. Close the printer cover until it snaps into place and remove any excess paper.

Configuring the Terminal Network Connections

The terminal requires a network connection to communicate with the payment processor server to process transactions.

The PAX A920 is a mobile payment terminal that can connect to mobile (LTE) and wireless (Wi-Fi) networks.

Mobile network access is required for delivery and transportation use, but it can also serve as a backup connection if your Wi-Fi network reception is unreliable in certain areas.
