Magnetic Stripe Reader (MSR)

This section describes how to set up and use the snap-on MSR with the mobile computer. The MSR snaps on

to the bottom of the mobile computer and can be easily removed when not in use.

When attached to the mobile computer, the MSR allows the mobile computer to capture data from magnetic

stripe cards. To download MSR data capture software, visit http://support.symbol.com.

Attaching and Removing

To attach, slide the MSR onto the bottom of the mobile computer and secure by snapping the arms into the

mobile computer housing.

Using the MSR

The MSR3000 sample application illustrates how an application should handle MSR inputs (refer to the

Symbol Applications User’s Guide).

To use the MSR:

1. Attach the MSR to the mobile computer.

2. Power on the mobile computer.

3. Tap Start > Programs > Samples icon > MSR icon to start the sample application.

4. Swipe the magnetic stripe card through the MSR, with the magnetic stripe on the card facing down. Swipe

the card in either direction, from left to right or from right to left. For best results, gently press down on the

card while swiping to ensure contact with the bottom of the reader.
