SMART CARD READER

An embedded Smart Card Reader is provided on your
LifeBook notebook. Smart Cards are the same size and
shape as credit cards, but they contain an integrated
microprocessor chip. The chip can hold a variety of
information, and provides the user with many possible
options, such as allowing them to make secure
purchases, pay for phone calls, store security informa-
tion, and provide identification and information.
In order to use the embedded Smart Card Reader, you
must purchase an optional Smart Card holder for instal-
lation into an available Type II PC Card slot.
