the desired transaction type. Insert the

If the card swipe fails, check the position of the magnetic
stripe and slide the card again. If failure persists, the card’s
stripe may be damaged and user will have to manually enter
the account number on the keypad.

(Optional: Smart card capability must
be enabled. Contact your sales or
customer service representative.)
Find the card reader slot at the front
of the FD150 and insert the card
completely so the microprocessor chip is no longer visible
and the front of the card is facing up. The card must remain
inserted throughout the entire transaction.
