3 Magnetic card reader
The magnetic card reader reads all cards written
with data conforming to DIN ISO 7811/12, Gemini,
AAMVA and JIS. Tracks can be read individually,
in pairs or all together. The data is converted into
corresponding key codes and is transferred to the
system via the PS/2 port.
Using the magnetic card reader
1 Insert magnetic card into the right-hand side of
the magnetic card reader with the magnetic
strips downward and facing toward the
keyboard.
2 Swipe magnetic card through the magnetic card
reader to the left.
An audible tone (beep) confirms a valid reading
for each track.
You can configure the tone using the
Cherry Tools software: Switch the valid reading
signal on/off.

Certain keyboard models come with an integrated
barcode decoder. You can connect up to two
reading devices to these keyboards using the
following external ports (barcode scanner not
included in scope of delivery):
Barcode ports on the keyboard:
• 9-pin DE9 D-sub connector (barcode 1) on the
rear
