Action 4 enables debugging in case something goes wrong with the reader (for example hang-up or
reboot or anything similar). Please note that debugging enabled causes wear-out of the internal
flash so enable it only in cases when it is necessary!
Action 5 enables or disables sound on the USB reader. Please note that there is no visual
identification of successful card reading so users in some cases cannot guess what may be
wrong if the card reader makes no sound
Action 99 returns user to the previous menu. If any changes are made, the card reader is rebooted
and the changes are applied.
Action 100 returns user to the previous menu. If any changes in settings are made they are
discarded and original settings remain.
5.1. USB keyboard
USB keyboard – Optional mode
In this mode the USB reader works as a standard USB keyboard and can be switched to mode 3 only.
NOTE:
Typing of the keys is emulated as numeric keypad for 0-9 and A-F keys on standard EN/US keyboard
layout. If the card number contains any other characters, they are ignored. Caps-lock and Num-lock are
enabled and disabled if necessary and returned back to previous state after the card number is read.
The "Shift", "Ctrl", "Alt" keys must not be held during card placing or it will collide with caps-lock
and num-lock setting and incorrect card number will be read
If a national keyboard layout is used (such as French, Russian, Chinese or other) a wrong card
number will be entered. In such cases a switch to US/EN keyboard layout is necessary before
placing the card.
