Data Header
If YES is selected, a single character header precedes the data. For MICR data, the
message is transmitted as follows:
MICR data:
‘C’[data]
For card data, the header position on the message is controlled by the Card Data Message
parameter (see below). Therefore, the message may be transmitted as follows:
If Multiple Message:
‘M’[TK1]‘M’[TK2]’M’[TK3]
If Single Message: ‘M’[TK1] [TK2] [TK3]
It is important to note that the Data Header precedes the data and not the message. For
example, if , and Data Header are set to YES, a MICR data message will
be transmitted as follows:
MICR data:
‘C’[data]
Card Data Message
This option determines the structure of the output message for the individual tracks when
a credit card is read. If Multiple is selected, the Control Characters (see SWB command,
above) and Data Header (see Data Header section, above) are added to each track
individually. On the other hand, if Single is selected, all available tracks are lumped
together into a single message. For example, if , and Data Header are set
to YES, the output message may be transmitted as follows:
Note: This option applies only when the card reader head is set to security level 2
If Multiple Message:
‘M’[TK1]‘M’[TK2]‘M’[TK3]
If Single Message: ‘M’[TK1] [TK2] [TK3]
HW - HARDWARE COMMAND
This command controls miscellaneous hardware options, as shown in Table 4-6. The
data for this command consists of 8 ASCII bits (“0” = hex 30 and “1” = hex 31).
To execute, send the HW command as follows:
HW 01010101 (with data)
or
HW
(without data)
