Proper terminal care

It is very important to periodically clean your credit card terminals and printers. Keep them free of paper lint, crumbs, and dust. These things can build up in printers and slow the printing. Additionally, dirty terminals can cause problems with the strip reader. You can remedy this problem by using compressed air. Compressed air comes in pressurized cans and can be found in the computer accessories section of most department and office supply stores. Keeping your equipment clean will help it last longer.
