o
The PAN will be masked according to the rules of this property
(the Send Clear AAMVA Card Data property is ignored)
o
The character used for masking the PAN will be ‘0’
o
All data after the PAN will be sent without masking
•
The sixth byte specifies whether the Mod 10 Correction should be applied to 
the DL/ID#. “Y” means Yes, the Mod 10 Correction will be applied. “N” 
means No, the Mod 10 will not be applied. (This option is only effective if 
the masking character is “0”.) 
 
This property is stored in non-volatile memory, so it will persist when the unit is 
power cycled. When this property is changed, the unit must be reset (see 
Command Number 2) or power cycled to have these changes take effect. 
 
Max Packet Size Property (HID) 
Property ID:
0x0A
Property Type:
Byte
Length:
1 byte
Get Property:
Yes
Set Property:
Yes
Default Value:
0x08
Description:
The value is a byte that represents the reader’s maximum packet size for the 
Interrupt In Endpoint. The value can be set in the range of 1 – 64 and has 
units of bytes. The maximum packet size tells the host the maximum size of 
the Interrupt In Endpoint packets. For example, if the maximum packet size is 
set to 8, the reader will send HID reports in multiple packets of 8 bytes each 
or less for the last packet of the report. This property can be used to speed up 
or slow down the time it takes to send card data to the host. Larger packet 
sizes speed up communications and smaller packet sizes slow down 
communications. The trade-off is that speeding up the card data transfer rate 
increases the USB bus bandwidth used by the reader, and slowing down the 
card data transfer rate decreases the USB bus bandwidth used by the reader. 
The value of this property will be sent to the host when the host requests the 
reader’s USB endpoint descriptor. 
This property is stored in non-volatile memory, so it will persist when the unit 
is power cycled. When this property is changed, the unit must be reset (see 
Command Number 2) or power cycled to have these changes take effect. This 
reader must be unplugged for at least 30 seconds to properly power cycle it.
