Troubleshoot issues when swiping cards

The suggestions given below will help you in resolving issues while swiping cards.
Test the card reader connection

Make sure by double-checking that whether the card reader is connected firmly to your computer via the USB port. Before you swipe the card ensure that the reader is ready. The card reader is ready to accept a card when the light is on.

Ensure you are using a compatible card reader

The devices which arepurchased from Intuit are the only once which are supported. Make sure that your card reader is an MagTek USB device.

Use a direct USB connection

Into one of your computer's USB ports plug the reader without using a keyboard or a USB hub. If needed, switch ports and restart the computer.

Swipe the card correctly

Swipe the card once from either end by facing the card’s magnetic stripe towards the light.

Check the card's magnetic stripe

The magnetic stripe of the card may be damaged if it can’t be read. Check the stripe if there is any residue and wipe it off.

Check the card reader

The reader didn't read the card correctly if the light is red. The magnetic head may need cleaning if this happens more often. You can purchase cleaning cards from the office supply stores. The card reader may be damaged or improperly configured if the card reader beeps or blinks or if the card data seems incomplete or garbled onscreen. In such a case, you need to contact the manufacturer.

If you are unable to swipe a card

Enter the card information manually if you are unable to swipe a card even after following all the troubleshooting recommendations given above. By doing this you will not lose the sale or payment. Though, the rate will be higher for the keyed transaction.
