Learning About the Terminal

The Moneris VX 820 Duet is an all-in-one POS solution consisting of the lightweight VX 820 terminal, incorporating a touchscreen display, embedded contactless reader and keypad, that connects to the Duet base containing the printer and communications hardware. The Duet can be operated with an optional external PINpad.

The display screen displays prompts for you to respond to as well as other prompts for the customer. During transactions that require customer input, you will need to pass the PINpad back and forth so that you and the customer can view prompts and respond to them using the touchscreen and/or keypad.

The VX 820 Duet supports magnetic stripe and chip cards for debit and credit transactions, contactless cards for credit (and some debit) transactions, and magnetic stripe cards for purchasing card transactions.
