<ESC> (1BH) Abort

ACTION Abort current command and transmit an Acknowledge response (“^” 5EH) if

issued: After a single character “Load Encode Data” command (A, B, C) has been

responded to by the unit. After a double or triple character “Load Encode Data” command

(a3, E_, …) has been responded to by the unit. After the “Arm to Read” or “Encode data”

commands have been responded to by the unit. (The unit would be waiting for a card

swipe to read or encode.)

Note This command byte is not recognized as a command within data strings. It is

processed as a data character instead.

DEL (7FH) Warm Reset

ACTION Abort all current actions and cause the device to execute all initialization

functions. The unit responds exactly as it would for a “power up” cycle. It does not send

the typical acknowledge response (“^” 5EH). See section
