Encoded Formats: In addition to encoding cards that comply with ISO 7811 encoding
formats, it is possible to customize encoding formats as follows:
• Encoded bit density is selectable at 75 or 210 bpi on all three tracks.
• The character is selectable for either 5-bit or 7-bit format on all three
tracks.
• The Start-Sentinel character is user selectable as either a (;) or a (=)
for 5-bit code or a (%) or (=) for 7-bit code.
SmartCard
The transport provides smartcard contacts that are compatible with ISO 7816 and EMV level 1
Standards. In addition, the smartcard contact block has a card landed switch that detects when an
ISO 7810 thickness card is properly pressed against the smartcard contact block.
Packing/Enclosure
The enclosure provides for proper functionality for user interface, cable routing, mechanical
mounting, jam clearance, optional SAM (Security Access Module) installation and Optional
TRSM (Tamper Resistant Security Module), and general maintenance.
Small Footprint
The unit has the smallest footprint required by the limited counter-top and desktop space
available at financial institutions.
Cable Management
The following provisions are made for communication and power lines:
• Polarization and locking of cable connectors
• Strain relief of cables
• Wire routing functionality
• RJ series connectors for main and auxiliary RS-232 interfaces.
• Power is brought to the unit through the main RS-232 cable
• Power-pack is away from the unit and will attach to the main RS-232 cable
Jam Clearance – Ejector Rod
For easy removal of a jammed card, an ejector rod is accessible at the rear of the unit. To clear a
jam, the ejector rod is removed from the rear of the unit and inserted into an access hole on the
back panel of the reader to push a card out of the front slot of the unit.
