The SlimSeal Secure Card Reader Authenticator (SCRA) is MagneSafe™ enabled and available in a variety of interfaces and head arrangements. SlimSeal can be mounted either for horizontal or vertical card insertion. The dual head models can read a card with the magnetic stripe orientated in either of two directions—thus minimizing the need to reinsert the card. A card-present sensor at the rear of the slot notifies the application that a card has been inserted so that the cardholder can be prompted with further instructions.
A card is reliably read by inserting it into and/or removing it out of the card slot when the card is oriented such that the card’s magnetic stripe contacts a read head.
