3.6. The Magnetic Stripe Card Reader
The Magnetic Stripe Reader (MSR) is located in a slot on the right-hand side of the terminal. When a
card is swiped, the MSR reads the information encoded on the card's magnetic stripe.
To swipe a card, the magnetic stripe must be down and facing towards the terminal. Cards can be swiped
from the back of the terminal forwards or from the front of the terminal backwards.
3.7. The Chip Card Reader
The chip card reader is located in a slot in the front of the terminal. When a chip card is inserted, the chip
card reader reads the information on the card's chip (e.g., whether to prompt for a PIN or print a signature
line on the receipt).
To correctly insert the chip card into the chip card reader:
1. Ensure that:
a. the card is facing up
AND
b. the chip end of the card is pointing towards the terminal’s chip card reader slot.
2. Slide the card into the chip card reader slot until the card stops sliding in.
