The XM95 card reader is easy to install.

1. Plug into USB or PS/2 port. Typically you will see a message that the unit is installing, and another message when installation is complete. This only takes a minute.
   
   

   

    

   

   
   
   

2. Once installed, a green light indicates the unit is ready for use.
   
   

   

   
   
   

3. A card can be swiped in either direction. Once complete, the unit makes a soft beeping sound (1 to 3 times depending on the card type).

4. To test, open Notepad and then swipe a card.

The results should look similar to this:

Troubleshooting:

• If the unit doesn't beep, the swipe was not successful, likely because the swipe action was not fast enough.

• If the light flashes red, the swipe was not successful. Try again. If the card continues to fail, the magnetic stripe on the card may be damaged.

• If the light is constantly red and / or multiple cards fail, try disconnecting and then reconnecting the reader to establish a better connection.
