Magnetic Stripe Reader (MSR)

This section describes how to set up and use the snap-on MSR with the EDA. The MSR snaps on to the bottom of
the EDA and removes easily when not in use.
When attached to the EDA, the MSR allows the EDA to capture data from magnetic stripe cards. To download
MSR data capture software, visit http://developer.zebra.com.

Attaching and Removing the MSR

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

NOTE When attaching a cable with a cup connector through the MSR to charge the device, you cannot swipe
cards.

The MSR3000 sample application illustrates how an application handles MSR input (refer to Applications User's
Guide).
To use the MSR:
Attach the MSR to the EDA.
1.
Power on the EDA.
2.
Install the MC70 Demo application onto the EDA. The demo is available with the SMDK. See the MC70
3.
Integrator Guide for more information.
