Magnetic Card Reader
Figure 13
The reader’s magnetic head faces towards the front of the printer.
When placing the card into the reader, the magnetic strip must be
facing as show in the figure above. Keep the bottom edge of the
card flat on the inner base of the reader to ensure that the
magnetic strip passes over the read head evenly.
When swiping the card through the reader, use an even consistent
motion from start to finish.
The speed of swiping can vary however the speed must be
consistent from start to finish of the swipe in order to accurately
read card data.
User Notes:
To use the magnetic card reader feature, special software must be
used to read and process the card information. If you do not have
card reading software, please consult your reseller to find out if
this software is available or contact Infinite Peripherals for
recommendations on compatible third party software solutions.
