Using the Card Readers
Before you can use the magnetic stripe reader or the smart card reader,
you need to take the necessary precautions to ensure PCI (Payment
Card Industry) compliance and protect cardholder information.
To ensure PCI compliance
1 Enable encryption in the data collection application.
2 Change the Bluetooth pin from the default value before pairing.
3 Make the Bluetooth printer undiscoverable.
Using the Magnetic Stripe Reader
You can use the magnetic stripe reader to send information encoded
on a credit card or driver’s license from your printer to your mobile
computer.
To use the magnetic stripe reader
1 Set up a wireless connection between your printer and your
Intermec mobile computer. For help, see “Connecting the
Printer to Your Network” on page 31.
2 On your mobile computer, start an application that can read
magnetic stripe data.
Note: The applications used to read card information must be
certified. Work with a third-party partner to create a certified
application. Or, download one of the Intermec Developer Library
Resource Kits from www.intermec.com/idl, and then search the
developers forum (www.intermec.com/support/developers
forum) for information about how to create certified applications.
