Magnetic cards reading
The Infinea Tab M 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.
The magnetic reading head faces up, towards the top of the bottom cover of the cradle. When swiping
the card into the reader, the magnetic stripe must be facing down, as shown in the figure below. Keep
the edge of the card flat on the inner base of the reader to ensure that the magnetic stripe passes over
the reading head evenly.
