Hello everyone! We were given new magnetic stripe readers to process credit cards and have not been able to get them to function. Does anyone have advice on how to configure or where I could look for that type of information on the Network? Not sure if I can list what make/ model they are on this board. We tried downloading from the website with no luck.
Thanks,

Hey Laura,
We have HP magnetic swipe readers here and I've got the config file with all our settings. It won't allow me to post the file on my profile, so I'll email it directly to you.
Hopefully that will help get you started.

Hi Beau,
I just emailed you though your profile - I'm hoping you can send any info related to setting up the HP Mini USB card readers?
Thanks Justin
Hey Justin,
Just confirming that my friends at Melbourne Recital Centre have emailed through their config files for you. These files work in the application that HP provides with the readers (or can be downloaded online).
The important thing here is to make sure the actual detail of what the reader places where in the payment screen is correct. It may take a bit of playing and testing to make it work for you. As an example, we had to change this in V11 to tab through the new postcode field. I also put an enter command at the end in one of the files so that it would tab accross and authorise instantly, although that's something that I can't remember if MRC ever used.
Enjoy!
Beau.
