Configuration
Select Reader Interface
The reader to be configured should be connected. Select the corresponding connected reader
interface and click the Continue button

30 31
www.colormetrics.infowww.colormetrics.infoColormetrics P4500 Colormetrics P4500
33
After the interface selection is made, click the Continue button. The utility attempts to
communicate with the connected reader. If successful, the Home Menu Page is displayed. The
Home Menu Page is shown below
34
Change Basic Reader Setting
After selecting the appropriate interface for the reader, select one of the Home Menu Page buttons
to proceed with the Magnetic Stripe Reader (MSR) configuration process. The "Basic Reader
Settings" group defines the basic operating parameters and data output format of the reader.
Button Definitions
Send To MSR
When all the setting parameters are selected, use the "Send To MSR..." button to send
configuration data to the reader device. When the reader has received the data correctly, the
settings take effect immediately.
Load From File
The configuration data can be loaded into the configuration utility from a file that has been
previously saved. Select this command, start a "File Open" dialog, which allows selection of the
file.

32 33
www.colormetrics.infowww.colormetrics.infoColormetrics P4500 Colormetrics P4500
35
Save To File
The configuration data can be saved as a file and being used later to configure other readers.
When saving a configuration the "File Save" dialog is opened as shown below. Input a filename
and file location.
Default All
This button sets the reader with the default configuration parameters (the default factory settings).
The settings take effect immediately. The default parameters affect all reader configurations
settings.
Close
Close this dialog and return to the Home Menu Page.
36
General Settings
This group of configuration settings defines the basic operating parameters of the reader.
MSR Reading
This option will turn on or off the MSR. If MSR is disabled no data is sent out to host in any case.
The default is MSR Reading Enabled.
Decoding Method Settings
This option gives four kinds of decoding methods.
Raw Data (output in both forward and reverse directions)
Decoding in Both Directions (forward and reverse reading)
Decoding in Forward Direction only (card entering slot from LED end)
Decoding in Reverse Direction only (card entering slot from end opposite LED)
With the bi-directional operation, the user can swipe the card in both swipe directions and the data
encoded on the magnetic stripe will be output. In the single swipe direction selections, the card can
only be swiped in one specified direction to read the card. The default setting will decoding card
data with the card swiped in either the forward or the reverse direction.

34 35
www.colormetrics.infowww.colormetrics.infoColormetrics P4500 Colormetrics P4500
37
"Raw Data" is an output of the decoded magnetic stripe data in hexadecimal format (no ASCII
character conversion is performed). In the Raw Data setting, the reader outputs all track-decoded
data. The MSR will represent the raw data with two ASCII characters: the first ASCII character is
for high bits of the raw data byte and the second is for the low bits. For example, the two ASCII
characters "4"and "1"represent raw data byte 41h(01000001).
Beep Volume
The Beep volume can be adjusted to four loudness levels or off. Four loudness levels are:
Quick High
Quick Low
High
Low
The default is High beep.
Terminal Type
NoteBook
IBM-PC/AT
IBM-PC/AT, External keyboard
IBM-PC/AT, No External keyboard
The firmware can be programmed to interface as a keyboard wedge to 4 different types of
terminals. The default is IBM-PC/AT.
Inter-Character Delay :
2ms, 5ms, 10ms, 20ms, 50ms, 100ms;
This is the time period the reader will delay between sending successive characters. Some
terminals or computers (host) require an inter-character delay to simulate the effects of keystroke
delays. Choosing a longer inter-character delay causes the characters to be sent at a slower rate.
If the host system is not capable of receiving characters as fast as the reader can transmit, setting
38
an appropriate inter-character delay will keep the reader from overrunning the host input buffer.
The default is 2ms.
Default Page Button
After you click the Default Button, the general settings page will change back to the default value.
Settings are not sent to MSR until the "Send to MSR" button is clicked.
Help Button
Click the help button to open the help index for this section.
Pre/Postamble
Preamble
Characters can be added to the beginning of the reader's output string of data. These can be
special characters for identifying a specific reading station, to format a message header expected
by the receiving host, or any other character string. Up to nine ASCII characters can be defined for
the Premable.
Postamble
The Postamble serves the same purpose as the Preamble, except the extra characters are added
to the end of a data string. The Postamble can be added only after a terminator character, if
specified.
Track Prefix and Suffix
For some Host applications, it may be convenient to start or end a string of reader data with a
Sentinel or terminator character.The maximum Prefix/Suffix string is six charecters and its default
is NULL(no prefix or suffix).
Track Start Sentinels
Characters can be added to the beginning of each track data string to simulate the start of the track
data. These can be special characters for identifying a specific track.

36 37
www.colormetrics.infowww.colormetrics.infoColormetrics P4500 Colormetrics P4500
39
End Sentinel
The magnetic stripe End Sentinel character can be added to the end of a magnetic stripe data
string. This character simulates the end of character for track1, track2 or track3. This default is '?'
Track Settings
Track Selection
There are three tracks of information possible on a magnetic stripe. This option selects the tracks
that will be decoded (read). Note that the magnetic stripe reader must have the hardware
configuration (read head and circuits) for reading the specified tracks. If a single or dual track
reader is used, the heads must be positioned to read the tracks selected by this option. The default
is Any Track.(All tracks written on the card will be read).
Track Separator Selection
This option allows the user to select the character to be used to separate data decoded by a
multiple-track reader. The default value is CR
Send Start/End Sentinel
The reader can send the Start/End sentinel for a track, decoded without error.
40
Send LRC in Card Data
The reader can send the track LRC for a properly decoded track.
For Track 2 only Send Account Number
The reader can only send account Number if it is true. And if it is false, the reader sends all Track 2
data.
Send Error Indication
This option let reader to send out [SS]E[ES] if failed to read or missing data on a selected track.The
default is off.
The error output for track 1 is "%E?".
The error output for track 2 is ";E?".
The error output for track 3 is "+E?".
Keyboard Settings
Keyboard Settings
There are keyboard settings information on a magnetic stripe. MiniMag II will support following
foreign language keyboard and function key output for PS/2 and USB HID Keyboard Interface.

38 39
www.colormetrics.infowww.colormetrics.infoColormetrics P4500 Colormetrics P4500
41
Language Option
This option allows the user to select the keyboard language of US, Swiss, Swedish, Norwegian,
Italian, Spanish (Mexico), German, French, Japanese, UK and Universal. Universal language
sends out all the data as a series of ALT keypad sequence.
Function Key Output
The function key output be used to support the special key to delay card data output.
USB HID KB Polling Interview
The user can input the number between 1 to 255 for the delay of output.
