Decode
Type
Reserved Reserved Reserved Reserved Reserved Reserved Reserved JIS Type 2
When a decode type bit is set to 1 (true), the decode type represented by that bit is
enabled. When a decode type bit is set to 0 (false), the decode type represented
by that bit is disabled. The reserved decode type bits should always be set to zero.
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.
Note
The JIS type 2 decoding option was not added until firmware with software ID
21042812K01 was release in October 2008. Some applications may not work
well with the JIS type 2 format because this format allows ASCII characters in the
non-printable range (0x00 – 0x1F and 0x7F).
This property only applies to swipe readers, not the SureSwipe readers.
