With some processors and processor configurations the customer may be able to choose Debit / Credit via the VX805. If that is the case with your processor and account then you may want to make the Description of your Payment type Credit Card "Credit Card / Debit Card" or simply "Card".

 

No driver is necessary if the device is wired and configured for SERIAL communications.

 

If you are going to use USB with virtual COM port (aka serial emulator) then you must install the Ingenico Tellium driver, while doing so ensure the USB cable is NOT plugged into the computer and that you are logged into Windows as an Administrator.
