DATA EDITING
The EasyMag has a data editing feature incorporated into its firm-
ware. This feature allows the data read from the magnetic stripe to
be sent to the host in the exact format expected by the host soft-
ware, eliminating the need for modifications to the application
software.
The data (that is, the input record from the magnetic stripe) can be
divided up into a number of separate fields, according to established
standards (such as ISO, ANSI, AAMVA, and CDL). The data in
each of these fields can then be edited, and new fields can be
defined using the Data Edit commands.
The edited data fields are then transmitted to the host in any order
desired, regardless of their position on the original magnetic stripe.
