Programming the Keyboard And MSR

Utility KbUtiUSB is used for Programmable Wincor Nixdorf Keyboards with

a USB HID interface.

Programmability of Keyboard and Magnetic Swipe Card Reader (MSR)

allows to adapt them to special needs.

So you can:

define special start and end codes for the tracks of the Magnetic

Stripe Reader, in which case the data of the several tracks still con

form to standard ISO 7811

define arbitrary codes or strings of codes for the keys

port your existing application software with much less effort, as the

interface to the Magnetic Stripe Reader and Keyboard still may be

valid.

Interfaces

There are three interfaces:

Keyboard interface (handled by operating system)

MSR Interface (normally handled by application interface, e.g. OPOS,

JavaPOS, etc)

Firmware Update Interface (handled by Firmware Update Utility

As the keyboard interface is serviced by the operating system, normally on-

ly keyboard is programmed, as the HID interface to the MSR is in most cas-

es serviced by an OPOS Service Object, a JavaPOS Device Service, etc.

It is, however, possible to program the MSR as well, e.g. if you want to get

the same codes for the BA82 MSR (having a USB HID interface) compared

to an already existing customer’s MSR (which has e.g. a PS/2 inter-

face).PS/2 Interface).
