Magnetic Card Reader 

 

The  PP-60  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 16 

 

The  reader’s  magnetic  head  faces  towards  the  bottom  of  the 
printer.  When  placing  the  card  into  the  reader,  the  magnetic  strip 
must  be  facing  as  show  in  the  figure  above.    Keep  the  inner  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
