Using The Magnetic Stripe Card Reader; Cleaning The Magnetic Head; Connecting Of Barcode Reading Devices (Versions With Barcode Option Only) - Cherry 8000 series User Manual

Example:
You want to slow the rate at which the
stored key sequences are output, and
decide to stipulate a delay of approx. 30
msec after each key code.
Please press the following keys one after
another:
Prog F8 Prog
Note
If you press a programmable function
key (PF) while the "Scroll Lock" or "Num
Lock" keys are activated, you may find
that the PF fails to reactivate itself after
outputting its stored code. This happens
when the delay setting is too short. You
can resolve the problem by setting a
longer delay.
5. Using the magnetic
stripe card reader
When inserting a card into the swipe
reader, the magnetic stripe must point
downwards towards the keyboard as
shown in the diagram below (see arrow).
Slide the magnetic stripe card through
the reader from right to left at a
constant, moderate speed. An audible
signal is emitted if the card has been
correctly read.
26
If more than 3 consecutive attempts to
read a card fail, check the following:
Does the keyboard function without
any fault?
Was the card drawn through the card
reader at a relatively constant speed?
Try it again at different speeds.
Has data been written on the card
using the DIN ISO 7812 standard?
Is the track selected present on the
card?
Is the magnetic stripe card damaged
or soiled, this preventing it from being
read?
