1.6. CARD READER SELF-TEST
Any type of valid credit card can be used for the card reader test. The card reader self-test begins with
the screen prompt shown below.
Step 1 Insert the card.
Once the credit card is inserted into the card reader, the CAT computer reads data from the
card.
Step 2 Remove the credit card in one smooth continuous motion when the above prompt appears
on the display screen.
A series of digits appear on lines 1 and 2 of the display screen. This information is the card data.
Step 3 Press the NEXT key and continue to the keypad self-test.
If either of the following prompts appear on the display screen, “TRACK READ ERROR” or
“CARD READ ERROR”, the credit card is invalid. Depending on the type of invalid credit card, one
or two rows of digits may appear on the display screen. To complete the card reader self-test, select a
different credit card and repeat procedure. If the error message continues to be displayed, the card
reader may need replacing.
