Yes, depending on the scanner and brand of top loader. You can scan using a top loader using a scanner such as the fi-8170, but you may need to manually feed the cards to the feeder. Additionally, you may only be able to stack a few cards in the feeder. A better option is a contactless scanner like the ScanSnap SV600 or a Ricoh flatbed/feeder scanner (like the fi-8250), which also eliminates any possibility of the card being damaged or producing an unsatisfactory image.
We do not recommend scanning slabbed cards using a sheet-fed scanner. The SV600 or a Ricoh flatbed/feeder scanner (like the fi-8250), are excellent solutions for scanning slabbed cards and you can scan multiple cards at a time.
We have been the leader in the document scanning market for almost 25 years, with over 13 million scanners in service. Quality card handling and ease of use are why we are the de facto leader in the scanning trading card market.
All of Ricoh's scanners can scan on a supported Mac platform. However, Paperstream is a PC only software tool for our fi Series scanners. If you need to scan on MAC, a good application may be a native Mac scanning software, such as Tradingcardscanners.com.
Yes, however we advise you scan these cards only in top loaders through a feeder or due to the high levels of reflectivity from these cards, we recommend using a flatbed model such as the fi-8250, fi-8270 or the SV600. scanner. To further improve scanning of Prism or Chrome cards using software enhancements, follow these steps:
First try to investigate the cause. Two reasons this could happen: (1) The magnetic stripe on the card is corrupt if this fails at all retailers. (2) The swipe is successful, but the bank is rejecting the transaction (your bank will know if this happens, call your bank).
Don't blame the cards entirely, some of those ATMs have been sitting out there for quite a while. So the problem could be coming from there as well, and remember the ATMs are computers which are not 100% reliable 100% of the time.
If its a swipe with the magnetic stripe, I saw this problem happen in supermarkets to other people on several occasions, and the cashiers where then wrapping the card in a plastic bag and retrying the swipe - with some success. And here is explanation why this works: -can-a-plastic-bag-enhance-the-magnetic-stripe-on-the-back-of-a-credit-card/
A friend of mine was experiencing a similar problem and when he changed his crocodile skin wallet, such problems disappeared. Others might know the mangentic/conductive properties of crocodile skin wallet, but I thought I'd share just in case.
"Several cards in several places" failing is simply not normal. Unless you have industrial-grade magnets lying on your beside table where you set your wallet down, or something, this shouldn't happen. Your bank must be giving you crappy cards, or have screwed something up with your accounts. My advice is to switch banks. But not before giving each card a good wipe to make sure it's not some sort of residue from your wallet or anything, I've had that screw up my VISA temporarily before.
The stripe on my aging debit card is well worn; to the point that there are some visibly lighter areas on it. It works fine in my bank's ATMs, but I've had issues at some retailers. Wrapping the card in a plastic bag, and then swiping it, usually works.
According to the Wikipedia article on magnetic stripe cards there can up to 3 tracks on the magnetic stripe, though track 3 is virtually unused. (Scroll down to the section titled "Financial Cards.") Some point-of-sale (POS) card readers read both tracks 1 & 2. I assume that this is the reason that my bank's ATMs read my card without issue.
I have a visa debit card and lately it stopped working In any machine even though it was just 12 months old (card was) I concluded that my phone wallet magnetic clasp has interfered with my visa card chip.
Ok, so when it says 'reader', what is it talking about? What is the reader? The camera? I put my fingerprint on the scanner whatever and then it said hold near reader but *** is the reader? I feel stupid for not being able to figure this out. Google has not helped.
To pay with Apple Pay using your default card, hold your iPhone within an inch of the contactless reader with your finger held on Touch ID without pressing it. I've noticed Touch ID is rather sensitive.
Unfortunately this problem with assembly. The problem is in top antenna (bad connection). Just need to regulate bolts and it works! But of course it will remove guaranty. If you have guaranty please visit store and they change/repair your phone.
I has same problem at Walgreen...then I try couple times to place my fingerprint on it and then it go through. Then next two days I came back at Walgreen and it didn't work anymore, after I placed the phone/fingerprint on it has "check mark" but it didn't go through transaction and I try again and it did have "check mark" on my phone but still didn't go through...even Store Manager looks up the system and didn't show any transaction in their system. I give up and used my card. On my passbook it tell me the Last Transaction and location but didn't show amount.
In my experience, Apple pay is simply not that reliable right now. Whether it is because of my iPhone 6 or something on the merchants' end, I have no idea. I'll visit the exact same merchant and pay at the exact same cash register and sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. When it works, it works flawlessly and it is awesome but other times it is awkward because the phone instructs me to "hold place near reader to pay" even though my phone is right next to the reader and the same distance away from the reader as when it worked flawlessly the previous time. So, I have to ask the cashier what the deal is, they have to get a manager, etc. I end up having to pay with a credit card anyway, or worse, my wallet is not on me so I can't pay at all and need to return.
The suggestions that I need to restart my phone or restore are not helpful since when I am in line paying for something, I can't be having to restart my phone and certainly can't do another restore. BTW, anything calling for a restore as a solution is basically a deal-breaker for me. I don't have time for that.
So did you do your restore from the last backup you did moments before? I have a 6 plus and it accepts my payment and then the cashier tells me it was declined, then I just use that exact same card and it works just fine. Was this the same problem you were having?
I called Apple support and while chatting was told to "Reset All Settings" on the phone and to try it. It didn't work. Since I couldn't test it while chatting with support they instructed be to do a complete restore if the first step didn't work. Support said it is more likely to be software problem.
I had a similar issue. I had gotten this "Hold Near Reader to Pay" message once and other times it didn't even recognize the device and nothing at all happened. I took it to the apple store and they tested it with the apple pay demo there and nothing so they replaced the device. Now it is working flawlessly.
I explained the main motivation of my project in the Card Feeder Intro. But in short, my children and I have amassed a large amount of Trading Cards by now. The handling, sorting, etc. is very difficult with these quantities. We have already tried it, but we gave up frustrated. For this reason, I want to build a Trading Card Machine, which should take on different tasks.
