CONTACTLESS AUTOMATIC RF CONTROL PROPERTY
Property ID: 01 (Hex)
Property Type: Boolean
Power Up/Reset Value: 0 (OFF)
Get/Set support: Both
Description:
Due to close proximity of the antenna to the magnetic stripe read head, the RF field can prevent
magnetic stripe data from being read correctly. The RF can be turned off automatically by the
reader when reading magnetic stripe data in the withdrawal direction. This only works when the
transport application MSR direction property is not set to non-directional. When the Contact-
less Automatic RF Control state is set to ON, the RF is automatically turned OFF just prior to
withdrawing a card, after the card withdrawal completes, the RF will be turned back ON. If a
card is partially inserted and pulled back out of the reader, the RF will turn OFF and after a
timeout, will turn back ON.
The reader is not capable of automatically turning the RF off prior to a card insertion. However,
this can be done manually by the host by using the RF OFF and RF ON commands to make sure
the RF does interfere with a read on insertion.
If a command is sent to the reader to turn RF OFF, then the automatic control of the RF will also
be disabled until a command turning ON the RF is received.
