Barcode and Magnetic Stripe Card

Badges or security cards work like credit or debit cards. There is a magnetic strip or a bar code on the top portion of the badge that is read as you swipe the badge through the card reader. Swipe either left or right with the barcode or magnetic strip facing down, away from the keypad.

If the WB5500 Series Clock is setup to accept badges, the WB5500 will have a card reader slot underneath the keypad. If you know your badge number, you can also enter the number using the keypad. When prompted for your ID, type in your badge number using the keypad instead of swiping the badge. Badge numbers are configured in the system by your system administrator.
