Using Smart Cards
NOTE:
You do not have the smart card slot if your model comes with the
barcode reader.
With an embedded microcontroller, smart cards have the unique ability to
store large amounts of data, carry out their own on-card functions (e.g.,
encryption and mutual authentication), and interact intelligently with a
smart card reader.
To insert a smart card:
1.
Locate the smart card reader. Open its protective cover by lifting up the
tab of the cover.
2.
Slide the smart card, with its label and embedded computer chip facing
up into the slot.
3.
When closing the cover, push the tab downward until the cover clicks
into place.
To remove a smart card:
1.
Make sure that the software is not accessing the smart card.
2.
Open the cover.
3.
Slightly push the card to release and then pull it out of the slot.
4.
Close the cover.
