DPP-350 User Manual
Magnetic Card Reader
(MS Version)
The DPP-350 has a built-in magnetic card reader. The card reader
incorporates a (3)-track magnetic read head requiring a single
swipe to read field data from all three tracks.
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 DATECS for recommendations on
compatible third party software solutions.
