Magnetic Slot Reader and Magnetic Hand Scanner Accessories
The magnetic slot reader and the magnetic hand scanner accessories are for
3278 Display Stations
that
are
used
to
send coded messages
to
the host system.
The magnetic slot reader (Figure 4-4) or the magnetic hand scanner (Figure
4-5) attaches
to
your display station through a cable. When your display
station
is
equipped with a reader, you can send a coded message
to
the host
system by passing a special magnetic striped card through the slot in the
reader. With a hand scanner,
you
can send a coded message by passing the
scanner over a magnetic stripe.
You may be required to use a card reader or a
hand scanner when, for example, you begin operating the display station.
A specially designed (coded) magnetic stripe card may also be used
to
update
an
account, request information about accounts, identify the person using the
reader, or represent an account number. The code
is
contained on a magnetic
stripe attached
to
the back
of
the card.
