The magnetic car d r eader of the GPT -4378/79 can be
used for magnetic car ds of the type ISO 3554. It r eads
up to 3 tracks simultaneously . The permissible swiping
speed is 10 - 100 cm/s.
The r ecor ding density and the number of bits per cha-
racter dif fer fr om one track to the next accor ding to
ISO 3554. They determine the maximum number of
characters including start and stop characters that
can be r ecor ded on each track:
In accor dance with the norm, track 1 and 2 ar e just
r ead during operation.
T rack 3 is the only one that is also used for r ecor ding.

about 2 seconds, if the car d was r ead corr ectly . If an
err or occur ed, the LED will flash rapidly 6 times.

possible. After the LED has gone out, the inter nal buf-
fers ar e getting r eady for the next r eading pr ocess,
waiting for a new car d to be swiped.
