The magnetic stripe reader/encoder is used as follows:

able to scan. Insert the magnetic stripe of the card
being read or encoded into the printer. The stripe
must face the top of the printer as shown opposite.
2. Slide the card through the slot in the direction
shown. Depending on the application software, the
printer will sound a beep on a successful scan.
Encoding Cards
1. When the printer is ready to encode a card, it will
beep once.
2. Slide the card through the slot as though reading it
as described above. The magnetic stripe must be
inserted into the body of the printer and face the
top of the printer as shown opposite.
Slide the card with one smooth motion. Avoid
jerking the card while encoding.
3. The printer will beep three times if the card was
successfully encoded.
