PC-EFTPOS i3070 MERCHANT OPERATING GUIDE – PROCEDURES
4.2 Swiping a Magnetic Stripe Card.
The magnetic stripe reader is located on the
right hand side of the terminal.
1. Check the terminal is displaying the
message PRESENT CARD.
2. Hold the card upside-down with the
magnetic stripe facing inwards.
3. Swipe the card smoothly through the
card reader, in either direction. Ensure
the whole magnetic stripe is swiped
through the reader.
4. If there is no response from the terminal,
or a CARD READ ERROR message is
displayed, swipe the card again. You
might need to swipe faster or slower.
4.3 Damaged Cards.
If a credit card will not read, when inserted in the chip card reader or when swiped, while
performing a credit account transaction, the manual key process should not be used.
Warning: Where the manual key process has been used to perform a credit card
transaction (contrary to the MOTO or ECOM instructions outlined in section 5.8, How
to Process a MOTO/ECOM Transaction), and that transaction is subsequently disputed
by the cardholder, the merchant will be liable for the amount of the transaction.
A manual fall back voucher can be used to fulfil the sale as per the instructions outlined in
section 7.2, Manual Fall Back.
The option of completing a manual voucher ONLY applies to credit account transactions
where the credit card will not read.
In the following situations, the cardholder must be referred to their card issuer and an
alternative form of payment requested:
- Credit account transaction DECLINED
- Savings/Cheque account transaction DECLINED
- Credit/Debit card will NOT READ when performing a Savings/Cheque account
transaction.
Note: The non compliance to the above procedure will be considered a serious breach
of the merchant agreement and may result in termination of your merchant facility.
