Section 4. Legacy Commands

When sending data, all 8 bits must be provided. The MICRSafe will execute the
command but it will not reply. The new settings become effective immediately. To make
this command permanent, use the SA (Save) command described at the end of this
section.
If no data is sent, the MICRSafe responds with the current settings for HW.

HW PARAMETERS
Disable/Enable Tracks
Each Track can be enabled or disabled individually. The tracks are always transmitted in
ascending order: TK1, TK2, TK3. For example, if TK1 and TK3 are enabled and TK2 is
disabled, the MSR will transmit TK1, TK3.
ID Card Decoding
The MSR has two modes of operation. In the first mode, ID Card decoding disabled, the
MSR will only read ISO encoded cards. In the second mode, ID Card decoding enabled,
the MSR will read and autodiscriminate ISO, AAMVA, and CDL encoded cards. When a
card is swiped, the LED indicator will turn red and indicate an error if any of the enabled
tracks read is incompatible with the selected mode of operation. TK2 is a standard track
for all types of cards.
EMF Detect
The EMF Detect option allows the MICR Reader, when idle, to monitor EMF
interference in its immediate environment. If YES is selected, the LED indicator will
blink red/green when the MICRSafe detects a signal with amplitude large enough to
affect check reading. If NO is selected, the MICRSafe will not monitor nor indicate the
presence of EMF interference.
