Chip card errors and magnetic stripe processing.

You MAY follow the below procedures when either:
• The chip on the card is damaged and cannot be read by the terminal. (Note: You
can clean or wipe the chip in case it is dirty.); or
• The chip on the card contains an application that isn't supported by the terminal.
Where the chip on a card is damaged and cannot be read by the terminal, the following
instructions should be followed:
1. If the first attempt to read the card fails the terminal response will be "Please
remove card and re-insert – 1 attempt remaining (X) to cancel".
2. It is recommended that you clean the chip on the card by wiping a cloth over the
chip. This will ensure the chip contacts are free of dirt. If a second attempt to read
the card fails, the terminal response will be "Card malfunction", press Enter to
continue and the terminal will respond with "Please remove card and swipe – Press
(X) to cancel".
3. Remove the card from the chip reader and swipe the magnetic stripe of the card.
Process the transaction as normal.
