MSR 1288 series
User’s Manual
The MSR series doesn’t need any drivers for PC. For K series (MSR K), it can emulate normal
keyboard interface, and send the data as normal PC keyboard.
You can get the card data by using notepad (Windows system) or in DOS prompt or any words editor.
For R series (MSR R), it communicates via RS232 port (COM) to PC.
You can connect MSR R to a RS232 COM port on PC which is free for using (for example: COM2) and
getting the card data by some kinds of RS232 communication software. In programming language software,
just open the COM ports for reading data. For example in Visual Basic, use MSCOMM32.OCX for designing
the RS232 communication program and getting the card data.
All settings of MSR can be programmed by the programming tool which include in the CD,
The programming tool supports for Windows OS system like: Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP …
Please install the "setup.exe " before you restart your Windows operating system. After finished the installation
