Example 1:
Encode track 3 only with “123456” in ISO format (tracks 1 and 2 will not be affected):
+123456?
(the hex values are 2b 31 32 33 34 35 36 3f)
No carriage return, line feed or any other character need be sent. The Encoder will switch to
write mode when it receives the question mark.
Example 2:
Encode tracks 1 and 3 with “ABC” and “123” respectively (track 2 will not be affected):
<STX>%ABC?+123?<ETX>
The hex values are 02 25 41 42 43 3f 2b 31 32 33 3f 03
No carriage return, line feed or any other character need be sent. The Encoder will switch to
write mode when it receives the <ETX>.
ONLINE MODES
There two modes of online operation are normal encode and secure encode. Each mode allows
reading and encoding cards.
Normal Mode
In the Normal Mode, the MT-95 operates as a simple card reader and card encoder. When a card
is inserted and swiped, all track information will be transmitted via the RS-232 connection to the
PC. After the card has been successfully read, the card should be removed from the slot. If a
card is to be encoded, the PC will prepare the track data and transmit it to the Encoder. The unit
will then beep and prompt for a card to be inserted into the slot for encoding.
This mode is selected from the PC by sending the
/N
command. This mode is compatible with
the Mag-Tek MT-80 software.
