Attaching And Removing The Msr; Using The Msr - Motorola MC75A User Manual

7 - 14 MC75A Enterprise Digital Assistant User Guide
Magnetic Stripe Reader (MSR)
This section describes how to set up and use the snap-on MSR with the MC75A. The MSR snaps on to the bottom
of the MC75A and removes easily when not in use.
When attached to the MC75A, the MSR allows the MC75A to capture data from magnetic stripe cards. To
download MSR data capture software, visit the Zebra web site at http://www.zebra.com/support.
With the MSR attach, the MC75A can still be charged by placing the MC75A with MSR into a cradle or connecting
to a charging cable.

Attaching and Removing the MSR

To attach, slide the MSR onto the bottom of the MC75A and secure by snapping the arms into the MC75A housing.
