PST-7000 series user’s manual – USING THE PST SYSTEM
MSR – MAGNETIC STRIPE READER
The Magnetic Stripe Reader (MSR) slot is located at the left side of the
Programmable Keyboard if the MSR option is ordered when the PST system is
equipped with the standard 112 key programmable keyboard. There are two choices
of the reader types -- dual tracks and triple tracks separately.
For card reading, be sure to insert the card to the bottom with magnetic stripe
facing right. The movement of the card can be either inserting the card from the top
surface then sliding the card down out of the slot, or sliding the card upward from the
lower side of the slot till it reaches the top end (ref. Fig. 4-8) as long as the card is a
standard one. A non-standard card recorded without complete degaussing prior to
recovery may accept only one direction in card reading.
The MSR indicator located near the MSR slot will light up in green when the
MSR is ready to read, blink during reading, and then give a green light if the reading
is successful. The MSR indicator will turn to be red if the reading fails due to
improper sliding or poor magnetic intensity of the magnetic stripe, the MSR indicator
will then turn back to green when the MSR is again ready to read.
