Termination String: $0D
Classic Line: ; Value Line: ;
The Termination String is a string that is sent by default after all Track data and all Track Postambles. The default
Termination String is the ENTER key. Key in the string that you wish to use as your termination string. Editing in this field
is done in the same manner as in the Preamble fields. Or select the Character for the Termination String in the Combo

Send Termination String: AFTER ALL TRACKS
Classic Line: ; Value Line: ;
This option is used to indicate where you wish the Card Reader to insert the termination string. The Termination String
can be transmitted at the following locations: AFTER ALL TRACKS, AFTER EACH TRACK, BETWEEN TRACKS, AFTER
ALL DATA, and OFF. By setting this option to BETWEEN TRACKS, the Termination String is sent between any two
tracks of data. For example, if tracks 1, 2, and 3 were all read and the output order was the default 1,2,3, the Termination
String will be sent after Track 1 and again after Track 2. By default the Termination String is sent after all tracks and all
individual track Postambles.
Overview Of Card Data Transmission
By now you realize the great amount of power and flexibility available in the ID Innovations Incorporated Card Reader.
Along with great flexibility comes some increase in complexity, as evidenced by the manner in which all of the
Termination String, Preambles and Postambles interact. For example, if you read a Triple-Track card in the Triple-
Track version of the Card Reader and all of the Tracks are transmitted, the output will be as follows, assuming default
values for all options:
<Magnetic Stripe Preamble>
<Track 1 Preamble><Track 1 Card Data><Track 1 Postamble>
<Track 2 Preamble><Track 2 Card Data><Track 2 Postamble>
<Track 3 Preamble><Track 3 Card Data><Track 3 Postamble>
<Termination String>
<Magnetic Stripe Postamble>
If the Send Termination String option is set to AFTER EACH TRACK, then the following will be the output order if
you read a Triple-Track card:
<Magnetic Stripe Preamble>
<Track 1 Preamble><Track 1 Card Data><Track 1 Postamble><Termination String>
<Track 2 Preamble><Track 2 Card Data><Track 2 Postamble><Termination String>
<Track 3 Preamble><Track 3 Card Data><Track 3 Postamble><Termination String>
<Magnetic Stripe Postamble>
Note: If the Data Output Mode is set to FIELD DATA, then the output order of the fields will follow the Field Output
Order and the Field Preambles and Postambles will be sent where the Track Preambles and Postambles are sent.
