9. BR20 Standard Format Code Summary:
Thefollowingformatsare supportedinstandardmodels(31002-8000/31012-8000).
Unless otherwise indicated, the LED input line controls both LEDs (low=green, high=red); the BUZZER input
controls the buzzer (low = activate); a good read is signaled by a flash of the green LED; a bad read is signaled
by a flash of the red LED and a double beep of the buzzer.

Format 1 - Basicmag-stripedataoutput:sendtrack2datawithoutanyverificationorformattingusingCLOCK/

Format 2 - Mag-stripe data output with zero trim using CLOCK/DATA signaling. All reads are "good", trims
excess zero bits, otherwise send data as is. Tamper monitor enabled.

10. Keypad Data Signaling:
Keypad data is transmitted on the data lines as 8-bit blocks. They are encoded and sent using the same signaling
methodasselectedforthecarddataoutput(clock/dataordata1/data0). IfDorado8-bitkeypaddataformatisrequired
