Using the Magnetic Card Reader

The card reader is mounted on the front cover of the workstation for easy access and
service. Figure 1-11 shows that you can swipe a card in either direction, with the mag
stripe facing down and towards the rear of the workstation.
Magnetic cards should always be kept dry, and away from magnets or sharp objects
that could damage the encoded information on the card. If a mag card is damp or wet,
or appears damaged in any way, DO NOT insert into the reader.
If the unit does not read the mag cards consistently, the read head may be dirty or
contaminated. A cleaning card can be used to clean the reader head. This type of card
has a felt strip in place of the mag stripe which cleans the head as it is swiped through
the reader.

Calibrating the Touchscreen

Calibrating the touchscreen is the process of aligning the touchscreen glass with the
underlying video display. If the touchscreen is not calibrated, the active area of the
touchscreen beneath the display may not be aligned properly or may be too small in
size.
When to Calibrate the Touchscreen
• When the video resolution changes from one setting to another (e.g, changing
from 640x480 to 800x600 or 1024x768).
• Any time the cursor does not follow the movement of your finger, or does not
reach the edges of the touchscreen.
• If the LCD/Touchscreen head has been swapped out for another unit. New
touchscreen drivers may be required. Three versions of the head are now
available:
