Insert the till roll and powering on 

Set up your DX8000 in a convenient location close to a power source. Connect the power cable to the power supply and the USB connector socket of the terminal. We recommend charging for at least 4 hours before set up.

Fully open the printer cover and remove the old paper roll. Unstick the end of the new roll and insert the paper roll in the compartment. Pull the paper to the top of the terminal. Hold the free end of the paper, close the cover. Press simultaneously on both upper corners of the cover until it clips into position. Warning: do not force open the printer cover.

First, power the terminal on by pressing the power key for 3-4 seconds. From the initial power-on screen, swipe right or left, then tap the Ner Pay app icon. Select Open Settings, and wait for the terminal to scan for local available networks. It will then provide a list to choose from. Tap the WiFi network you would like the terminal to connect to and enter the password. A successful connection is indicated with the icon turning green. Select Done, and the terminal will return to the initial installation screen.
