The MSR is used as follows:
1.When the reader is enabled, place the card into the read- er slot as shown. The magnetic stripe (typically on the back of the card) must face the bottom of the printer, and be inserted into the bottom of the card reader slot as shown in Figure 16.
2.Slide the card through the slot. The card will be read if slid in either direction. Depending on the application software, the printer will sound one chime when a scan is successful .
3.If the card did not read, slide it back through the slot in the opposite direction.
