ID Tech MiniMag Operation & User’s Manual

• ID Tech MiniMag, 21 Section 5 OPERATION The MiniMag reader is easy to operate. Just follow these simple steps: 1. Make sure the reader is properly cabled and is receiving sufficient power. (See Section 5, Troubleshooting, if there is a cabling or power problem.) 2. To read a card, slide the card, in either direction, through the reader slot, with the magnetic stripe facing the magnetic head (LED side). 3. While swiping the card through the reader, the LED will go off. 4. Once the entire magnetic stripe has been read, the LED indicator will light up as green to signal a “good read.” If a good read is not obtained, the LED

• 11 Section 4 DATA EDITING The MiniMag has a data editing feature incorporated into its firmware. This feature allows the data read from the magnetic stripe to be sent to the host in the exact format expected by the host software, eliminating the need for modifications to the application software. The data (that is, the input record from the magnetic stripe) can be divi

Change To Default Settings This command, /e/d/fn, returns all settings for all groups to their de- fault values. Data Editing wil

• ID Tech MiniMag, Section 3 CONFIGURATION The MiniMag reader must be appropriately configured to your appli- cation. Configuration settings enable the reader to work with the host system. These settings are programmed into the reader through the keyboard. Once programmed, these configuration settings are stored in the reader’s non-volatile memory (so they are not affected by the cycling of power). Default Settings The MiniMag reader is shipped from the factory with the default settings already programm

• ID Tech MiniMag, 23 Keyboard Interface Problems Installation of the reader is generally trouble free, but there are some things to watch for if you are experiencing problems. Do you have the proper cable? Most modern computers and terminals use a PC/XT/AT-compatible keyboard. However, the cable connecting it to the keyboard port may have variations in either the signal pins or the connector itself. Make sure that you have the proper cable for the computer/terminal with which you are interfacing. Does the keyboard work? Since the data from the keyboard must pass through the reader, the cabling connections are correct if the k

• ID Tech MiniMag, Appendix E: USB/Keyboard Interface The MiniMag reader is available with a cable that terminates in a Universal Serial Bus (USB) connector. Most new computers have multiple USB ports into which a wide variety of peripherals can be installed. Since USB devices are designed to be “plug and play,” the computer will search for a Human Interface Device (HID) driver when the MiniMag is first connected. If one cannot be found, the computer will prompt you to make a selection. The Windows CD may be needed to complete the installation. The MiniMag reader is shipped from the factory with default configuration settings already programmed. (See Ap

• ID Tech MiniMag, 14 Formulas The set of instructions programmed into the MiniMag to edit data is referred to as the data editing “formula.” More than one formula (to a maximum of four) can be resident in the reader at one time. If more than one formula resides in memory, the reader will apply the first for- mula to the input data. If the scanned data matches the format (credit card, driver’s license, etc.) of the first formula, then it will apply the data editing functions and output the reformatted data to the host. If the data does not match the criteria spelled out in the first formula, then the criteria of the second formula is applied. Th

• ID Tech MiniMag, 12 Functions The following editing functions can be performed: Rearrange the Data: The fields within a track, created by established standards, can be transmitted to the host in any order desired, regard- less of the order in which they occurred in the card track. Insert Character Strings into the Output Data Record: Character strings can be defined and inserted at any place in the data output record. Duplicate Fields: Fields within a track can be transmitted to the host as many times as desired, and in any order. Select Output Fields: Fields within a track can be selected for output or not selected for output.

• ID Tech MiniMag, 13 Fields By separating the input data record into smaller blocks (called “fields”), each block can be edited individually. Additional fields can also be added to the record, allowing specific functions, such as car- riage returns or keyboard function keys, to be inserted at any point. (The field standards for ISO Credit Cards, California driver’s licenses, and AAMVA driver’s licenses are listed in Appendix D.) By separating the input data record into smaller blocks (fields), each block can then be treated individuall
