NOTE: If this property is set to 0x01 and the Format Code is currently
“0001”, the Format Code will be changed to “0002”.
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.
Mask Other Cards Property
Property ID: 0x31
Property Type: Byte
Length: 1 byte
Get Property: Yes
Set Property: Yes
Default Value: 0x00 (Don’t Mask Other cards)
Description: This property is used to designate whether or not the cards which do not
decode as ISO/ABA (Financial) or AAMVA (Driver License) cards should be
sent with their data masked or in the clear. The default state is to send the
data in the clear (0x00). If this property is set to 0x01, the track(s) will be sent
with a “0” for each byte of encoded data read.
If a card is encoded according to ISO/ABA rules (track 1 in 7 bit format,
tracks 2 & 3 in 5 bit format), and track 1 does not begin with the character
‘B’, the track 1 masked data field will always be sent without masking
regardless of the value of this property. (See Appendix E for details.)
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.
MSR Direction Property (Insert Reader Only)
Property ID: 0x32
Property Type: Byte
Length: 1 byte
Get Property: Yes
Set Property: Yes
Default Value: 0x02 (Withdrawal)
Description: This value is a byte that represents the device’s magnetic stripe read
direction. The device will output card data when a card is swiped in the
direction indicated by this property. The value can be set to 1 for insert, 2
for withdrawal or 3 for both directions. (This reader reads better when a
card is removed from it than when a card is inserted into it.)
