Main Screen Description
The main screen is where the magnetic card data and status is displayed after each
swipe. At the bottom of the screen is a dialog box where user messages such as
“Swipe Again” are displayed.
Swiping a Magnetic Card
1. With the CardVisor application running on the Handspring Visor, hold the unit in
your left hand (if you are a lefty, hold the unit in your right hand).
2. Using the other hand, hold the drivers license with the MagStripe facing towards
you and swipe the card towards your body. The above illustration is for a right-
handed person.
3. Ensure that the magnetic card’s edge remains in full contact with the base of the
card slot, swipe the card completely through the card slot.
4. It does not matter which way the card is swiped, but it is important that the card
is not skewed / tipped during the swipe. Skewing occurs if the card is tilted or
lifted as it is swiped through the slot.
5. The CardVisor age verification software will display the drivers license information
on the screen after a successful swipe and store the data in the Visor memo pad
application.
