The Chip Card Reader

The chip card reader is located in a slot in the front of the terminal. When a chip card is inserted, the chip card reader reads the information on the card's chip (e.g., whether to prompt for PIN or print a signature line on the receipt).

To correctly insert the chip card into the chip card reader:

1.      Ensure that:

●        the card is facing up

AND

●        the chip is closest to chip card reader slot on the terminal.

2.      Slide the card into the chip card reader slot until the card stops sliding in.
