Performing a Factory Reset on the PAX Terminal
A factory reset restores the terminal to the state that it was in when shipped to you.
This procedure applies to test, debug, and live devices. Performing a factory reset does
not affect the device key that was preloaded on the terminal before it was shipped to
you.
IMPORTANT
If you are considering performing a factory reset to resolve an
issue, it is recommended that you explore other troubleshooting options first. A reset
erases all configurations, installed applications, and locally stored data, which might
not be necessary for resolving common issues.
