MAGSWIPETM CONFIGURATION UTILITY SPECIFICATIONS The magnetically encoded data on the magnetic stripe can be decoded (read) by magnetic card readers. The stripe data has a fixed format defined by the ISO standards. The ISO fixed format is not always convenient or useful for card reading applications. The solution is for the card reader to decode the stripe data and then arrange the data into useful format and content. The reader-formatted data is transmitted from an intelligent communication interface.
