Magnetic Stripe Card Reader (optional)
The TA59 can also be equipped with a magnetic stripe card reader (option)
which can be used to read up to three tracks simultaneously each time a
card is pulled through.
Using the magnetic stripe card reader
Pull the magnetic card evenly and quickly, from right to left, through the slot
on the magnetic stripe card reader. Make sure that the magnetic stripe is
facing the keys.
Note the following precautions when handling magnetic cards:
n
Never allow magnetic cards to come into contact with liquids.
n
Never bend or fold magnetic cards.
n
Never expose magnetic cards to a magnetic field.
Insert the magnetic card in the special slot provided on the reader from the
right-hand side only; inserting the card at another location could damage the
read heads.
In order to ensure that the quality of reading results is maintained, clean the
magnetic stripe card reader at least once a week. To do this, use the
special cleaning card that can be ordered from Wincor Nixdorf.
