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.
„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).
