Loading Setting Cards

The setting card loading operation is performed by turning on the power while holding down the
cleaning switch.
When the setting card is then inserted, the information on the card changes the operating mode
of the device.
If the changes are successful, success is printed at the bottom of the card. If an error occurs,
unsuccessful is printed.
Refer to the setting card application manual for details regarding the creation of a setting card.

Self-test Operation

After setting the setting card reading operation, click on the CLEANING switch again to cause
the LED to flash in orange. This will enter the self-test mode.
In the self-test mode, the device waits for a card to be inserted, then writes test data to the
magnetic stripe after the card is inserted. The results of the test data of the internal EEPROM
setting status and the device version are printed onto the card, and then the card is discharged.
(When using a LAN model, there are two cards of an NIC REPORT and a test print.) If a
setting card is inserted during a self-test, the card will be discharged and the self-test operation
will be cancelled.
When performing a self-test, magnetic data for the test is written to the card. Use a card
whose magnetic stripe can be overwritten without causing a problem.
