Smart Card Reader

The smart card transaction procedure can vary depending on the application. Verify the proper procedure with your application provider before performing a smart card transaction.

Performing a Smart Card Transaction

1

Position the smart card

Position the smart card with the gold contacts facing upward.

2

3

Magnetic Stripe Card Reader

The Verifone M400 has a magnetic card reader that uses a triple track stripe reader. This gives the unit greater reliability over a wide range of swipe speeds and operating environments.

Performing a Credit/Debit Card Transaction

1

Position the card

Position a magnetic card with the stripe facing the keypad.

2

Swipe the card

Swipe it through the magnetic card reader.

Contactless

The Verifone M400 supports contactless transactions through an integrated contactless module. The terminal only becomes active for contactless smart card transactions when initialized by an application.

Performing a Contactless Transaction

1

Tap or hold the card

Gently tap the card onto or hold the card (within 1-2”) against the surface of the display where the contactless logo appears.

2

Confirm the transaction

An activated LED visual on the display accompanied by a short beeping sound indicates a successful transaction.

Line Items

Line items display on the Verifone M400 PINpad as the items are rang up on the POS.

Line Items can be enabled at Verifone Commander Configuration Client > Payment Controller > EPS Configuration > EPS Global Configuration > POP tab.

Signature Capture

The Signature Capture electronically captures a signature when required for a network sale. See the Signature Capture Feature Reference on the Premier Portal for more information.

  • When a card is used and a signature is required, the customer is prompted for a signature on the Verifone M400 PINpad.

  • The printed receipt does not include a signature line, but depending on the configuration settings, may include the signature image.

  • Signature Capture saves receipt paper by allowing the cashier to decide whether or not to print a merchant and customer copy.

  • Signature Capture only applies when a signature is required.
