After a power cut, the reader performs a reset with self-test. The self-test
can take up to five seconds. In the first step of these self-tests, all LEDs of
the membrane keyboard light up. In the second step, the reader displays
the key statuses of the membrane keyboard.
If a LED is on, the specified button is active. The input LED signalizes the
ASCII protocol and the output LED signalizes the SECS protocol. If the test
was successful, all LEDs - except for the power LED - go off.
Â
Check if the interface connection cable is undamaged and
correctly connected to both reader and host!
