If you have a Magtek card reader, it’s important to reset it so that your card works properly again. Here are some tips on how to do this:

  1. Open the card reader’s cover.
  2. Remove the battery from the card reader.
  3. Insert the new battery into the card reader and reattach the cover.
  4. Turn on the cardreader and wait for it to start up.
  5. When it starts up, insert your Magtek card into one of its slots and press the power button to turn on the cardreader.
  6. To reset your Magtek cardreader, follow these steps: a) Press and hold down one of the cards’ edges until you see a light come on; then release it so that both cards are now turned off (this will erase all data on both cards). b) Place one of the cards back in its slot and press and hold down one of its edges until you see a light come on; then release it so that both cards are now turned off (this will add data back onto both cards). c) Place another of the cards in its slot and press and hold down one of its edges until you see a light come on; then release it so that both cards are now turned off (this will erase all data from bothcards). d) Turn off your computer and wait for about 10 minutes before turning back on your computer to continue using your Magtekcardreader as usual!
