Identify Your Card Reader Type

Check Your Card Reader Model

If your Toast device is already working with a card reader, you can check the type of card reader you are using within your Toast app:

From the Toast app main menu, navigate to Setup > Device Setup.
Scroll down to the Card Readers section.
The Card Reader Model will indicate which card reader is used with your device.

If you're trying to identify a reader without a Toast device, see the glossary below for some images you can match to your device.
