Printek Mt2 Series - Manual (Page 16)

Operation
Using The Optional Magnetic Card Reader (MCR)
The Magnetic Card Reader is a factory-installed option. This option requires special application software to
read and process cards with a magnetic stripe, such as credit cards or a driver’s license.
Refer to the following figure if your printer is equipped with the optional magnetic stripe reader and the
application software asks for the card to be read. Quickly swipe the card through the reader either left to right or
right to left. The magnetic stripe must be facing toward the paper supply door while it is passed through the
reader.
Refer to the following table for a description of what is displayed by the MCR/Error Indicator.
