3 Magnetic card reader – 3-track version
The magnetic card reader reads all DIN ISO 7811/-12, Gemini, AAMVA and JIS compliant cards. It can read the tracks individually, in pairs or all together. The decoding of the data can take place either in the keyboard [standard] or via the software as desired.
3.1 Using the magnetic card reader
1 Insert the magnetic card into the magnetic card reader from the right with magnetic strips pointing downwards towards the keyboard.
2 Pull the magnetic card to the left through the magnetic card reader.
An acoustic signal confirms the successful/unsuccessful completion of the reading process:
1 x beep = reading process successful. The data is transferred. 2 x beeps = reading process unsuccessful. The data is not transferred.
Configuration via CHERRY Tools: signal for successful/unsuccessful reading process, duration.
3.2 Definition of headers and terminators
Headers and terminators mark the start and the end of the magnetic card data transmission. They can be defined using the software CHERRY Tools. The header/terminator code is inserted before/after the actual magnetic card data.
4 Smart card reader
The built-in smart card reader can read and write on all smart cards based on DIN ISO 7816. It is CCID-compatible and is usually detected by the operating system. If not, you must install a driver or CT-API [see 6.3 "Software for smart card reader"].
4.1 Using the smart card reader
- Insert the smart card into the smart card slot with the chip pointing downwards and towards the keyboard. Contact is established after a clear pressure point is passed.
5 Touchpad
The touchpad replaces the mouse. You can move the mouse cursor with your finger, and select and drag objects.
5.1 Move the mouse cursor
- Move your finger across the touchpad.
5.2 Double-click
