6.  Setting Fonts Using the Font Setting Card 

European, US and Korean bound models are provided a standard font setting card that 

is for their country.  Before using the reader/writer, set the fonts according to the direc-

tions below.

<Procedures to Set Fonts>

1.  Turn the power ON while pressing the Cleaning switch.

2.  The buzzer will ring and the green status lamp will flash.  This indicates that the 

reader/writer has entered the “setting mode to use the setting card.” 

3.  Insert the font setting card.  The font setting information is automatically read from 

the magnetic strip.  That new font setting information is then written to the internal 

memory.

4.  When the new settings have been completed successfully, “COMPLETE!” is printed 

and the card is discharged. The reader/writer will then return to its normal operating 

status.
