HOST RS 232 COMMANDS 8.1 General Description All command strings begin with a ":" as shown and end with [CR] (not shown) [CR] = ASCII carriage return character, 0DH. [LF] = ASCII line feed character, 0AH. <sh> = high digit of 8 bit hexadecimal checksum <sl> = low digit of 8 bit hexadecimal checksum Mode : Polling mode Auto Send Mode (default) Configuration - Saved in EEPROM. 8.2 Configuration Commands :Bx - Change Baud rate x=3-> 9600, x=4->19200 :EtB - Enable/disable track reading 't' where t = 1 to 3 b=0 means disable, b=1 means enable :X1 - Read direction: reverse :Ab - Auto clear bit, if b=0 disable, if b=1 enable if Autoclear = 1, the card reader will automatically clear track buffers after sending track data, user will NOT be able to poll data again. if Autoclear = 0, data will remain in buffer until track clear command is sent. :Sb - Auto send bit, if b=0 disable, if b=1 enable if Autosend = 1, the card reader will automatically send track data as soon as card has been -4- swiped, user does not have to poll data. :Nb - Auto notify bit, if b=0 disable, if b=1 enable if Autonotify = 1 and Autosend=0, the card reader will send the message "TRACK READ" as soon as the card has been swiped. The user can then poll the data with :Tn command. :Jb - Include start (%) and end (?) characters in track data, if b=0 disable, if b=1 enable :RT3 - Select Reader type (determines which card load signals to use) 3= Half/Full insertion using only 1 sensor in back, Returns: reader status 8.3 Status Commands :SR - Send reader status, its configuration Returns: SR:ABCI.scnde.xyz.t.<sh><sl><CR><LF> Where: A=CardLoad1 signal = 0 or 1 B=CardLoad2 signal = 0 or 1 C=CardLoad3 signal = 0 or 1 I=CardInserted signal = 0 or 1 s=AutoSend configuration bit = 0 or 1 c=AutoClear configuration bit = 0 or 1 n=AutoNotify configuration bit = 0 or 1 d=direction configuration bit = 0 or 1 (1 = reverse) e=UseStartEnd configuration bit = 0 or 1 x=Track 1 enable bit = 0 or 1 (1=enabled) x=Track 2 enable bit = 0 or 1 (1=enabled) x=Track 3 enable bit = 0 or 1 (1=enabled) t=Reader Type character = 0,1,2,3 see RT command :ST - Send track status Returns: ST:dsercc.dsercc.dsercc.<sh><sl><CR><LF> Where: d= data was detected on track s= start character was detected e = end character was detected r = LRC check was passed cc = two characters representing the hex value of byte count of track.

AutoClear = TRUE The card reader will automatically clear track buffers after sending track data, user will NOT be able to poll data again. Include Start & End = TRUE -6- 9. ERROR HANDLING 9.1 Magnetic Card Read Errors If a card read is bad no data (Tx:error.<sh><sl><CR><LF>) will be returned when track data is requested with the T1, T2, T3, or TA commands. If AutoClear = 0 when the :SR command will return the status of the most recent card swipe. The status return string contains data on Missing STX, ETX, and LRC errors for each track. Please see the details of the :SR command in the preceding section. 9.2 Communication Errors The card reader will acknowledge most RS232 commands with either a data string or <CR>. Please see preceding section for details. If the card reader fails to receive the command correctly it will not respond. The Host PC control software should assume that if no response is received in 1 second a communication error has occurred and the command should be resent. <Calculating Procedure of checksums> Example) In case that a return data is "SE:400000030000". 1st step) S(53h)+E(45h)+:(3Ah)+4(34h)+0(30h)+0(30h)+0(30h)+0(30h)+ 0(30h)+0(30h)+3(33h)+ 0(30h)+ 0(30h)+ 0(30h)+ 0(30h) = 319h nd 2 step) Neglect 3 (upper byte of 319h). 3rd step) Calculate the two's complement value of 19h (lower byte of 319h). 100h-19h = E7h (E7 is the two's complement value of 19h.) Consequently sh is 45h ("E") and sl is 37h ("7"). S E : 4 E 7 CR LF Calculation area of checksum 9.3 Power Failure If power fails and is then restored, the unit is reset and reinitialized. On reset the card reader will send the current firmware revision. In this way a host PC can tell when power has been lost on the card reader. -7- 10. UNIT LIFE AND RELIABILITY 10.1 Life Magnetic head : 300,000 times pass ( 2 passes / operation) (conditions) In a clean office room. In damp or dirty atmosphere, the life may be 1/3 to 1/5 of the above figure. 10.2 Error rate : Less than 0.1 % (conditions) This error rate is obtained when a new normal card(data "1010xxx) is horizontally passed at the standard speed (30 cm/s ~ 60 cm/s) by manual operatrion in the clean environment at delivery from our company. 11. MAINTENANCE Because of difficulty in changing components on the P.C Board, replacement of whole unit is recommended for service and maintenance. -8- 12. CAUTIONS ON USE Please be noted that we do not guarantee proper performance of the card reader if it is used other than the indicated specification range. 12.1 During installation (1) Do not drop or bump anything against the card reader. Otherwise, failure may be the result. (2) Do not touch the P.C.B. with bare hands. (3) Be sure to install on a flat surface so as to prevent any force to be applied to the card reader during installation. (4) Avoid installing the Card Reader in the following environment. * Watery, humid or dusty place. * Near machines which generate magnetic field or inducted noise. (Printer, LED display, CRT etc.) * Place which gets direct sunlight. In the case that the card readers are used in the environment full of dust etc., the life time of the magnetic head and mechanism for transferring cards will decrease. 12.2 During use (1) Be sure to use a card which conforms to ISO standard. Anti-magnetic of the applied card should be 2.4 x 104 A/m to 2.4 x 105 A/m of ISO standard. (2) Card operation speed should be within the specification range. Forced stop or change of speed during the card operation may cause a read error. Appropriate speed to maintain stable operation is 30 cm/s to 60 cm/s. (3) Store the card with caution to prevent dirt, scratch and distortion. No foreign matter should be stuck on the magnetic stripe surface. Use of such card may result in a read error. (4) Insert a cleaning card and clean the head periodically to prevent wearing of the magnetic head. Head cleaning using the cleaning card should be performed about once a week if the room is not dusty. (5) Enviroment conditions such as external noise or electrostatics etc. may affect operation of the card reader and interface. Check the level of noise resistance and electrostatic resistance of your factory before using the card reader. -9- 13. APPEARANCE General Torelance 0.5 Unit : mm -10-
