Transactions Fail to Process

There are several possible reasons why the unit may not be processing transactions. Use the following steps to troubleshoot failures.

Checking Magnetic Card Reader

To check magnetic card reader:

1. Perform a test transaction using one or more different magnetic stripe cards to ensure that the problem is not a defective card.
2. Ensure that you are swiping cards properly (see Using the Multi-Card Reader).
