MSR (Magnetic Stripe Reader)

The MSR or USB MSR slot is near the right edge of the Programmable

Keyboard. The MSR indicator LED (available in KB-6600 only) is located at
the upper left corner of the block containing the electronic key. There are three
choices of the reader types – ISO 1,2 dual tracks and ISO triple tracks types.
For card reading, be sure to insert the card to the bottom with magnetic stripe
of ISO card facing downward. The movement of an ISO card can be either
inserting the card from the top surface at the upper end then sliding the card to
the lower out of the slot, or sliding the card from the lower of the slot till it
reaches the upper end of the slot (ref. Fig. 4-3). The MSR indicator 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.
