Magnetic Stripe Reader (MSR)
This section describes how to set up and use the snap-on MSR with the MC55. The MSR snaps on to the bottom
of the MC55 and removes easily when not in use.
When attached to the MC55, the MSR allows the MC55 to capture data from magnetic stripe cards. To download
MSR data capture software, visit the Support Central web site.
Attaching and Removing the MSR
To attach, slide the MSR onto the bottom of the MC55 and secure by snapping the arms into the MC55 housing.
Figure 6-10 MSR Installation
To remove the MSR open the arms and pull the MSR from the MC55.
Using the MSR
Install an MSR enabled application onto the MC55.
To use the MSR:
1. Attach the MSR to the MC55.
2. Power on the MC55.
3. Launch the MSR application.
4. Swipe the magnetic stripe card through the MSR, with the magnetic stripe on the card facing down. Swipe the
card in either direction, from left to right or from right to left. For best results, gently press down on the card
while swiping to ensure contact with the bottom of the reader.
NOTE When attaching a cable with a cup connector through the MSR to charge the device, you cannot swipe
cards.
