Reader
The Carbon 8 terminal supports credit or debit card transactions. If customers’
cards do not have an EMV chip or are not Smart Card compliant, use the
magnetic card reader to perform payment transactions.
To conduct a credit or
debit card transaction
1 Position the card with the magnetic stripe oriented downward, facing the
reader.
2 To ensure a proper read of the magnetic stripe, swipe the card smoothly
through the reader in one direction (from left to the right), as shown in Figure
18.

3 Check the screen for confirmation of a successful transaction.
CAUTION
Leave the smart card in the card reader until the transaction is complete. Wait for
the prompt on the Consumer Display before removing the card.
Premature card removal will invalidate the transaction.
