EJECT CARD COMMAND
Command ID: 81 (Hex)
Description:
This command attempts to eject a card from inside the transport to a position where the card can
be removed by the user and where magnetic stripe reading is complete. A card must be present
at the middle or rear of the transport when this command is executed in order for it to succeed. If
the eject attempt is successful and the card is standard sized, the Rear Card Present indicator and
the Middle Card Present indicator will be clear to show that the card is completely ejected from
inside the transport. Also the Front Card Present indicator will be set until the user removes the
card from the reader. If the reader is set to auto consume, it will not auto consume a card until
the user removes the ejected card from the reader.
The card can be ejected three different ways. The way the card is ejected is specified by the
optional eject type parameter. If this parameter is omitted, the card will be ejected normally.
The eject type parameter is defined below.
Note
If the front-gate option is installed, the IntelliStripe 320 Reader
will be incapable of reliably reading mag-stripe cards during the
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.
Request Message Data: Optional 1 byte eject type field. The eject type field can be 0 for
normal, 1 for long or 2 for blind. If this optional field is omitted, the eject type will default to
normal.
When the eject type is set to normal (0), the reader will attempt to eject the card, using the
sensors, to a final position at which it is located so that it is no longer under the read head and so
that it is still under the motor drive roller. In this position the card can either be pulled out by the
user or consumed back into the reader in case the reader needs to make another read attempt.
This option stops the card in a position where the rear edge of the card is .5 inches in front of the
middle sensor. This distance can be adjusted by modifying the eject middle sensor to motor off
delay property.
When the eject type is set to long (1), the reader will attempt to eject the card, using the sensors,
to a final position at which it is located so that it is no longer under the read head or the motor
drive roller. In this position the card can be pulled out by the user but it can not be consumed
back into the reader without user intervention. This option stops the card in a position where the
rear edge of the card is 1.5 inches in front of the middle sensor or until the card is no longer
under the motor drive roller. This option was added for customers that have bezels too deep for
the normal eject option to eject the card out far enough for the users to grab onto it.
