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.
