Data Reader Support and User Workflow
The MFP functions are locked until a user provides valid authentication data. To do so, the user must 
pass their proximity or smart card over the proximity reader or swipe their card through a Magstripe 
device reader. 
When the user’s data has been validated by the Core Authentication Server (CAS), the MFP is unlocked 
and ready for use. When the user is finished, they push either the Clear All or Access button on the 
MFP keypad to “log out” and lock the device.
Secure Access supports several types of external readers: magnetic stripe, EM Marin, HID proximity, 
Hitag, Indala, Legic, and Mifare. All readers are pre-configured from the manufacturer and require no 
further configuration.
Magstripe Device Reader 
Secure Access supports external magnetic stripe reader devices. Users can enter validation data by 
swiping an encoded magnetic card through the card reader. The magnetic stripe reader reads virtually 
any standard magnetic card medium on Track 2 and accepts standard or custom encoded data. Track 
1 data is available with the USB mag stripe readers.
Using a Magnetic Stripe Device Reader
Instruct users to follow these steps to enter data using a magnetic card device reader:
1. Insert the card into the guide track with the magnetic stripe facing away from the terminal. Ensure 
the card is pressed firmly against the guide.
2. Pull the card down through the guide track and remove the card. 
Note:
Do not run the card through at an angle or the terminal will not accept the data.
If the terminal cannot read the entry, the LED stays solid red. Reinsert the card into the guide track 
and run the card through the reader again.
Contactless Smart Cards and Proximity Cards
Secure Access supports Legic and Mifare contactless smart cards, and EM Marin, HID, Hitag, and 
Indala proximity cards. Users can enter validation data by passing the proximity card within one inch 
of the external reader.
