Using the Smart
Card Reader
The smart card transaction procedure may vary from one application to another.
Verify the procedure with your application provider before performing a smart card
transaction.
To conduct a smart
card transaction 1Position the smart card with the contacts facing in the same direction as the
keypad.
2Insert the card into the reader slot in a smooth, continuous motion until it seats
firmly.
Figure 8 Inserting a Smart Card
3Wait for the application to indicate a completed transaction before removing
the card. Premature card removal invalidates the transaction.
Using the Magnetic
Stripe Reader
Use the magnetic stripe reader to perform credit and debit card transactions.
To conduct a credit/
debit card transaction 1Position the card with the magnetic stripe facing backwards.
2To ensure a proper read of the magnetic swipe card, insert the magnetic card
from the top of the device, as shown in Figure 9.
