2.4 Building an Output String
2.4.1 Card In Event
The 5x27 CK lets you customize your output string for a Card In Event; the following objects
are available for configuration on the Card Data Selection tab.
Card in Event Keystrokes Option to enter header information to an output string.
Data Fields Select either the cards preset or custom data field.
Pre-strokes Keystrokes sent before the data field.
Post-stroke Keystrokes sent after the data field.
You can have multiple data fields in one output string (for example, PACS bits followed by a
custom data field). In this case, ensure the desired data fields are activated and fully
configured.
Change the order of the output string data fields by using the up/down arrow buttons (left of
the data field names).
Separate data fields from each other by using pre- and post-strokes.
2.4.2 Card Out Event
The 5x27 CK lets you define an output string to be sent when a card is taken from the reader.
Note: This output string is sent for each card type and does not support card data.
2.4.3 Supported Characters & Commands
In most cases, keyboard stroke data (Pre and Post, or both) are strings of standard ASCII
characters. In addition, use control characters, such as the Enter key. Enclose the control
character (key) in brackets [ ], for example, [ENTER].
IMPORTANT:
For confirming post- or pre-keystrokes in firmware versions below 02000000, press ,
for the reader to perform validity check on the keystrokes.
For firmware versions 02000000 or above, pressing is not required, the reader
performs a validity check automatically once the focus is taken from the data field (for
example, by pressing the Tab key or clicking another data field).
For valid keystrokes, the font color turns from black to green. The text color remains green
until you click Apply Changes and the settings are then loaded to the reader (see Section 1.4
Save Changes, page 6).
