HP 4730 MFD USB Card Swipe

The USB Card Swipe does not work.


Currently only the HP 4730 MFD will work with a USB Card Swipe

Approved USB Card reader for this device: Magtek HID Card Swipe

  1. If you are experiencing problems with the USB Swipe Card reader check the following: a. Is the card reader Magtek (this is the only approved reader currently) b. Is the card reader HID. If it is a Magtek keyboard emulator you may be able to update the card reader by going to the Magtek website and downloading the Mini Wedge Configuration Program:

    http://www.magtek.com/support/software/demo_programs/mini_wedge_config.asp

  2. If you are still experiencing a problem you can obtain a log from the MFD which should show what is happening. Steps to collect log: a. plug in the usb card reader b. power the MFD off, then back on (this starts a fresh log and makes sure the card reader info is captured) c. On a PC open IE and use this URL:

    http://<ip address of MFD>/hp/device/hp.ChaiWatchPort

    Note: This is case sensative

    Note: This requires that Java is installed in IE

    When the page opens you will see a blank window with a "Go" button, and it will say 'disconnected" in the window.

    Click "Go" and let the file process until it stops adding information.

    Select, save the text log and send to Pharos.
