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.
