2 Decode Status Decode status definition follows
3 Card Encode Type Card Encode Type definition follows
4 - ? Track Data Track decoded data
Decode Status definition:
The bits are identified by numbering the least significant bit 0 and the most significant bit 7.
Bit Field Description
0 Track 1 error Indicates track 1 decode error if set to 1
1 Track 2 error Indicates track 2 decode error if set to 1
2 Track 3 error Indicates track 3 decode error if set to 1
3-7 RFU Reserved for future use
A decode error is only indicated if a valid start sentinel exists on the track and the track cannot
be decoded. If a track cannot be decoded and if it does not have a decode error it is considered
blank.
Card Encode Type definition:
Value Encode Type Description
0 ISO/ABA ISO/ABA encode format
1 AAMVA AAMVA encode format
2 CADL CADL encode format. Note that some versions of this reader
can only read track 2 for this format. They can not read tracks 1
and 3. However, this format is obsolete. There should no
longer be any cards in circulation that use this format. California
is now using the AAMVA format.
3 Blank The card is blank
4 Other The card has a non-standard encode format. For example,
ISO/ABA track 1 format on track 2.
5 Undetermined The card encode type could not be determined because no
tracks could be decoded.
6 None No decode has occurred. This type occurs if no magnetic stripe
data has been acquired since the data has been cleared or
since the device was powered on.
7 JIS Type 2 JIS X 6302 Type 2 encode format
