Smart Card Reader
The optional Smart Card reader is used as follows:
1.The LCD will display “RDR” to indicate the Smart Card reader is active. (Some reader applications may flash the display backlight and/or chime three times to indicate the reader status is “ready.”) At this time, the printer is acting only as a Smart Card reader connected to the host termi- nal; all other printer functions are suspended.
2.Insert the card into the reader slot as shown in Figure 17. The microchip imbedded in the card must be oriented facing the bottom of the printer and must be completely inserted into the Reader Slot to scan successfully .
3.Depending on the application software, the printer will sound a chime after a successful transaction.
4.After the card has been successfully read the printer can resume normal printing operations and the Smart Card can be removed.
