card-ejection cycle. (Reliable mag-stripe reading will only be
possible during the card-insertion cycle). If mag-stripe reading is
required during the card-ejection cycle, then the product must be
ordered without the front-gate option.
CARD POSITION SENSORS
The reader contains three card position sensors: front card present sensor, middle card present
sensor, and rear card present sensor.
Front Card Present Sensor
An optical sensor that indicates whether a card is present at the front (insertion) end of the card
transport. See IntelliStripe 320 Command Reference Manual, Part Number 99875168, for more
details.
Middle Card Present Sensor
An optical sensor that indicates whether a card is present in the middle of the card transport. See
IntelliStripe 320 Command Reference Manual, Part Number 99875168, for more details.
Rear Card Present Sensor
An optical sensor that indicates whether a card is present at the rear (smart card contacts) end of
the card transport. See IntelliStripe 320 Command Reference Manual, Part Number 99875168,
for more details.
MULTIPLE COMMUNICATION PROTOCOLS
This device supports both the binary MCP and simple ASCII hex protocols. See the host
application protocol property section of the command reference manual for more details.
NON-VOLATILE PROPERTY CONFIGURATION
This device supports configurable power up/reset values for some properties by using non-
volatile memory. See the generic save property command section of the command reference
manual for more details. The section that explains each property in the command reference
manual will also indicate if the particular property has this support. Placing a jumper across pins
3 and 4 of jumper block J5 on the device prior to power up/reset will cause the device to use the
default values instead of non-volatile memory for all property values.
