and Card Type.

Using the Check Tracks command, you can read the exact track data read by the card

reader. This enables you to verify that the card reader is able to correctly read both tracks on

the magnetic card stripe.

Follow the steps below to test the magnetic stripe tracks:

1. Using the toggle switch at the top of the CPU board, place the Wash Select II in

setup mode by moving the switch toward the back of the Wash Select II case.

(The CPU board is located on the inside right wall of the Wash Select II case.)

2. Using the (3) key to scroll forward and the (1) key to scroll back, scroll through the

main menu until the "Diagnostics" option is displayed. Press the (*) key to enter.

3. Use the (3) key to scroll until the "Test Card Reader" option is displayed. Press

the (*) key to enter.

4. Use the (3) key to scroll until the "Check Tracks" option is displayed. Press the (*)

key to enter.

5. Insert any type of card; you should be prompted to “Remove Card”. If you do not

see the “Remove Card” prompt, your card reader may be dirty (use a card

cleaner) or defective.

tracks. The track data will appear in the displays below. Use the (1) or (3) keys to

scroll left or right respectively through the displayed data.
