MSR (Magnetic Stripe Reader)
The MSR is an optional feature that provides support for reading
magnetically coded data cards. The keyboards support two different
types of MSR:
•
ISO Tracks 1, 2, and 3
•
JIS ‐ II and ISO Track 2 (Big Ticket and full ‐ featured 68 ‐ key
keyboards only)
Note: MSR signals are routed to the Wedge controller and passed into
the system keyboard data stream. For more information about the
Wedge controller, refer to Wedge Software User ʹ s Guide (BD20 ‐ 1368 ‐ B)
External Decoded Scanner Connector
A decoded RS ‐ 232 input device that only requires TXD, RXD, CTS and
RTS, such as a bar ‐ code scanner, can be connected to the keyboard. RS ‐
232 signals are routed to the Wedge controller and passed into the
system keyboard data stream. The connector provides +5V to power
the scanner. For more information about the Wedge controller, refer to
Wedge Software User ʹ s Guide (BD20 ‐ 1368 ‐ B).
Special "PC Setup" Keypad Layout for 68-key Keyboard
On power ‐ up, the operator can switch the 68 ‐ key keyboard into an
alternate keypad layout that can be used with many PC BIOS setup
and configuration routines. The alternate layout contains keys such as
ESC, TAB, END, ʺ + ʺ , ʺ‐ʺ and arrow keys which are not available in the
normal keypad layout. The alternate layout allows the operator to
configure a PC with the 68 ‐ key keyboard.
