AUTO CONSUME PROPERTY
Property ID: 03 (Hex)
Property Type: Boolean
Power Up/Reset Value: 0 (Disabled)
Get/Set support: Both
Description:
This property is used to enable and disable card auto consuming. When auto consuming is
enabled, the reader will attempt to consume a card when the card is being inserted into the mouth
of the reader. The transport attempts to consume a card into the transport to a position where
magnetic stripe reading is complete. The reader will not attempt to consume a card if a card is
already present in the transport. When the reader is attempting to automatically consume a card,
the Auto Transporting indicator is set. If the consume attempt is successful and the card is
standard size, the Rear Card Present indicator and the Middle Card Present indicator will be set
to show that the card is completely consumed. If the Middle Card Present indicator is set and the
consume attempt is unsuccessful, then the card should be ejected. After a card is ejected or a
consume fails, the card needs to be completely removed from the reader before the reader
attempts to automatically consume a card again.
Values:
