Specifications

Section 4. USB Communications

Description: When this property is set to 0, the reader data transmission will use the standard mode of

sending track information as described in SECTION 4. When this value is set to non-

zero, and Track 1 or Track 2 is determined to be in a financial data format, the reader will

transmit the PAN (Primary Account Number), Name and Expiration date using the

following format:

If Track 1 is available:

Track 2 data will not be transmitted

If only Track 2 is available:

If Track 1 and Track 2 are not in financial data format or cannot be decoded, the reader

will revert back to standard mode.

This property is stored in non-volatile memory, so it will persist when the unit is power

cycled. When this property is changed, the unit must be reset (see Command Number 2)

or power cycled to have these changes take effect.

Rules used for determining that a card is in financial data format:

• PAN length should be between 13 and 19

• Name length should be between 0 and 26 characters for Track 1

• Only 2 field separators (‘^’) for Track 1

• Only 1 field separator (‘=’) for Track 2

• Format code shall be the character ‘B’ for Track 1
