• And a triple-track magnetic-stripe reader (ISO 1 / 2 / 3).
Figure 4 – Card interfaces
To accommodate the customers' needs, following design choices were made:
• The chip-card interface is located at the front side, closest to the cardholder;
• The magnetic-stripe reader is located on the right side of the terminal;
• With both card slots in distinctive positions on the terminal, users are less
likely to confuse the two slots;
• The magnetic-card reader has an extended card guidance for optimal reading
quality;
• When the integrated PIN privacy shield is in the upright position, both card
interfaces are easy accessible;
• Clear pictograms on the terminal housing and on the display explain how to
insert a chip card or to swipe a magnetic-stripe card. The display icons are
application-specific.
