Prefix/Suffix
In default, the prefix and suffix settings are all keep blank. There are 4 kinds of prefix and suffix to be
defined, which are:
1 Package: For the prefix string, it is appended in the front of the whole MSR data. For the suffix, it is
appended in the end of the whole MSR data. In most case, the suffix for package is always to be the
“Enter” or “Tab” character. The max data length of the prefix and suffix for the package can be up to
127.
2 TK1: For the prefix string, it is appended in the front of the start sentinel of track 2. For the suffix, it is
appended in the end of the end sentinel of track 2. The max data length of the prefix and suffix for the
TK1 can be up to 127.
3 TK2: For the prefix string, it is appended in the front of the start sentinel of track 2. For the suffix, it is
appended in the end of the end sentinel of track 2. The max data length of the prefix and suffix for the
TK1 can be up to 127.
4 TK3: For the prefix string, it is appended in the front of the start sentinel of track 3. For the suffix, it is
appended in the end of the end sentinel of track 3. The max data length of the prefix and suffix for the
TK1 can be up to 127.
ISO
This group defines the start and end sentinel for each track. The sentinel is always used to extract the
track data from the whole MSR data string. The data length for each sentinel is fixed to one character.
Because there is ISO standard that defining the start and end sentinel for the three tracks. For the
compatible reason, please do not modify the default value if possible.
Decode Mode
For this group, it contains two kinds of settings, which are:
1 Track Data Filtering: Determine which track to be, not to be output or needed to be output.
2 Switch Output Order: Change the output order of track 1 ~ 3.
1 PP: Prefix for package.
2 PR1: Prefix for track 1.
3 SS1: Start sentinel for track 1.
4 TK1: Data for track 1, if error happens, using
Error Message instead.
5 ES1: End sentinel for track 1.
6 SU1: Suffix for track 1.
7 PR2: Prefix for track 2.
8 SS2: Start sentinel for track 2.
9 TK2: Data for track 2, if error happens, using
Error Message instead.
10 ES2: End sentinel for track 2.
1 SU2: Suffix for track 2.
2 PR3: Prefix for track 3.
3 SS3: Start sentinel for track 3.
4 TK3: Data for track 3, if error happens, using
Error Message instead..
5 ES3: End sentinel for track 3.
6 SU3: Suffix for track 3.
7 SU: Suffix for package.
8 DM: Delimiter for the swipe result.
Track Data Filtering
Shown below is the filter setting for track 1. This provides a fool-proofing method in case of receiving
unwanted or uncompleted track data.
These three filter settings are:
1 Enable: If selected, the data of specified track will be packaged in the MSR data string. If the specified
track data is not decoded, it will leave blank in the MSR data string.
2 Required: If selected, which means the output MSR data string must contain the specified track data. If
the specified track data is not decoded, even MSR data string contains other track data, it will still not
to be output.
3 Disable: If selected, the data of specified track will not be packaged in the MSR data string. No matter
it is decoded or not.
Switch Output Order
Show below is the selection of the three track data output order (sequence). The default order is Track
1–Track 2–Track 3.
Update Settings
Once complete the settings, click Update to update the settings to connected HID MSR reader.
Save Settings To save the settings to a file, click Save; specify the file name and location to be saved.
Open Settings To load pre-saved settings, click Open, specify the settings file, and then click OK to load
into program. Restore MSR Reader Settings To load restore settings of connected MSR reader, click
Restore ES2: End sentinel for trac
There 6 orders allow to be selected. Please select one to fit your application needs.
