NOTES
• Track 2 reading can be enabled or disabled. By default, the track 2 character set is used, however you can program the
reader to decode track 2 using the track 1 character set .
• Set the c start parameter on if you need to read cards that start with a c start character rather than the standard b start
character. Note this applies only if the track 2 character set is being used.
• You can include the start and stop sentinels, as well as the lrc, in the data.
• If the direction indicator is turned on, the data will be preceded by a f (forward) or r (reverse) to indicate the direction
of the scan.
• Turn on the option to delete alphas from the magstripe data if you want only the numeric data.
• To implement any masks that you may have programmed for track 2, masking must be explicitly turned on using this
command.
• Turn on the prefix and suffix options if you want to prefix or suffix the data with your programmed prefixes or suffixes.
Track 2 Settings Part 2
X042 ll ss
ll
restrict track 2 reading to cards with a length of ll. Set to 00 for any length.
ss
seperator character translation. If this parameter is set to a non 00 value, then any seperator characters in the
magstripe will be converted to this value. This parameter is a 2-digit (max 99) decimal equivalent of any ascii
character ( 49 = 0, 65 = A).
