Abstract
A magnetic strip of a card is read by a card reader while the card remains stationary and motionless within the card reader. The card is parked within the card reader in a read position. A dynamic read head of the card reader moves over the strip from a trailing edge of the inserted card to a leading edge of the card and then back from the leading edge of the card to the trailing edge of the card. A rate and speed of the read head is controlled during the passes of the read head over the strip. The card data of the strip is provided to a terminal during a transaction of a customer at the terminal.
