6.8.2 How to Swipe Magnetic Stripe Cards

To swipe magnetic stripe cards, follow these steps:
1) Wait for the device to display an action prompt, or, if the solution is designed to respond to cardholder
actions that occur while the device is idle, such as swiping, inserting, or tapping a card or electronic
payment device, or pressing the touchscreen, initiate the transaction by performing one of those
actions instead of waiting. In these cases, the device may automatically and rapidly pass through
several of the steps below without requiring cardholder interaction.
a) Devices with a display show on-screen text and buttons (see Figure 6-8 below for examples).
b) The device shows the transaction status using the LEDs. If the host has directed the device to
enable the contactless interface, LED1 lights solid green and all other LEDs are off, per EMV
standards, to indicate it is ready for a tap. If the host has directed the device to disable the
contactless interface, the device continues to show idle statuses on LED1 and LED2.
c) All devices report detailed transaction status to the host, and host software may report that
information to operators so they can guide cardholders through the transaction (for example,
"swipe, insert, or tap your card now please").
2) Locate the magnetic stripe reader swipe path on the face of the device.
3) Orient the card with the magnetic stripe facing away from the cardholder and the touchscreen or
contactless landing zone, toward the LEDs and the chip card insertion slot as shown in Figure 6-9.
4) Swipe the card through the magnetic stripe reader in either direction.
5) Look for a prompt that the device has successfully read the card:
a) The device turns LED4 green for a short time.
b) The device beeps once.
c) If the device has a display:
i) The device shows
ii) The device may show
iii) If the transaction requires a signature, the device prompts for a signature (see section 6.8.9
How to Use Signature Capture).
