Read Card Data

N - READ CARD DATA - RAW MODE
This command is used to read data previously encoded into cards while ignoring the present
configuration of the unit. The data will be printed on either the data terminal or optional printer
according to the configuration and the selection made.
Note: When the unit is configured for cards to exit the rear of the reader it is possible to feed
cards too quickly into the reader. A new card should not be entered into the reader until the
present card has exited the reader and the reader shuts off. If a card is entered prematurely, it will
not be read and automatically returned out of the front of the reader.
At an asterisk (*) prompt -
1.
Enter the N command
If an optional printer is available, you will be prompted:
SEND TO AUX PRINTER (Y/N)?
2.
Entering a "Y" will cause the card data read to be printed on your optional printer (AUX port).
Entering an "N" will cause the card data read to be printed on the data terminal (MAIN port).
The unit will prompt you: ENTER CARDS
3.
Enter the card to be read (mag stripe down and to the right) into the reader.
The unit will take the card, read it, send it out of the reader (front or rear contingent on
configuration), and print the card data.
The unit will remain in the read mode until the command is terminated via a CTRL C.
