Testing the Integrated Magnetic Stripe Reader

On the MSR tab, you can test that the integrated magnetic stripe reader functions correctly and retrieves the expected results.

You can test the card reader in:
  • Special Mode: This mode converts scanned data into a buffer and sends the information to an application for processing. Special Mode accepts inputs in 2 or 3 tracks.

  • Magtek Mode: This mode emulates keyboard input with diagnostic and employee cards. Magtek Mode accepts inputs in 1, 2, or 3 tracks.

  1. To reset the mag reader settings, press Reset Mag Reader.
  2. To clear the previously input card data, press Clear All Data.
