Introduction

The Magnetic Stripe and Smart Card Reader (MSCR) for the Dolphin 9700 enables easy data capture with the swipe of a magnetic stripe card or smart card insertion. The MSCR snaps onto the bottom panel of the Dolphin terminal for easy installation or removal.

Software Requirements

Before you connect the Dolphin terminal to the 9700-MSCR, make sure you have the most current software installed. To check the terminal’s system information, tap Start > Power Tools > SysInfo.

The kernel version must be 20.01 or later in terminals running Windows Mobile 6.5 Classic. In terminals running Widow Mobile 6.5 Professional, the kernel version must be

21.01 or later.

Service pack version 7

or later is required.

D9700 MSCR Demo Application

Not all Dolphin 9700 terminals are equipped with the D9700 MSCR Demo application. For download and installation instructions, see Installing the MSCR Demo Application, in this quick start guide.

Application Developer Note

For maximum battery performance, turn off power to the 9700-MSCR when the module is not in use.

Attaching the MSCR to the Dolphin

1. Press the Power key to put the terminal in Suspend mode.

2. Remove the stylus from the Dolphin 9700 stylus slot and store it in the stylus loop on the hand strap.

3. Slide the MSCR onto the terminal until the MSCR snaps in place.

Note: To improve unit grip and reduce the possibility of

accidental drop, Honeywell recommends using the supplied hand strap while operating the terminal with the MSCR attached.

4. Press the Power key to wake the terminal.

Using the MSCR Demo Application

You can use the MSCR Demo application to verify that the Dolphin 9700 terminal can receive data from the MSCR.

Starting the MSCR Demo Application

1. On the Dolphin terminal, tap Start > File Explorer >

My Device > Program Files > D9700 MSCR Demo > D9700MSCRTest.

Note: Not all Dolphin 9700 terminals are equipped with the

D9700 MSCR Demo application. For download and installation instructions, see Installing the MSCR Demo

Application, in this quick start guide.

2. Connect the MSCR to the Dolphin terminal.

3. Verify COM1 is selected from the pull down menu.

4. Check the box next to, Power.

Note: The LED indicator on the MSCR emits a single long

green flash and then flashes approximately every three seconds. By default, the Magnetic Stripe Reader function is activated when power is supplied to the MSCR.

Testing the Magnetic Stripe Reader

1. Swipe a magnetic stripe card. The green LED stays illuminated for the duration of the swipe.

Note: You can swipe the card from

either the left or the right. Make sure the magnetic stripe of the card is facing down, toward the I/O connector as shown.

2. The LED rapidly flashes green four times to indicate a good read. The data from the card appears on the terminal’s screen.

Note: If the LED does not flash, the card swipe was not

successful.

Testing the Smart Card Reader

1. Remove the Rubber Cover protecting the smart card slot.

Note: Do not discard the rubber

cover. The cover protects the smart card slot when not in use.

2. Select SCR. The LED indicator changes to yellow, emits a single long flash, and then flashes every 3 seconds.

3. Insert a smart card into the slot

below the serial port. Do not remove the smart card from the reader.

Note: Make sure the contacts of

the card are facing up, toward the keypad on the terminal.

4. Tap the ATR button in the D9700MSRTest window.

Note: The yellow LED rapidly flashes during data collection.

If the LED does not flash rapidly, the MSCR is not accessing the data on the smart card.

5. The data from the card appears on the terminal’s screen.

Installing the MSCR Demo Application

Not all Dolphin 9700 terminals are equipped with the D9700 MSCR Demo application. To download and install the application:

1. Go to www.honeywellaidc.com. Select Support >

Downloads. Click Software and then select DOLPHIN9700 from the product list.

2. Download the Honeywell D9700 MSCR Demo.cab file to the workstation.

3. Connect the terminal to the workstation using a Honeywell communication peripheral.

4. Open ActiveSync and click Explore.

5. Click on the My Windows Mobile-Based Device folder and copy the downloaded file to the IPSM > Autoinstall folder on the terminal.

6. Do one of the following:

• Tap on the Honeywell D9700 MSCR Demo.cab

inside the Autoinstall folder to install the application.

• Press and hold the RED + ENT keys on the terminal

to perform a hard reset (cold boot). The application will install as part of the Autoinstall process that occurs during each hard reset.

Note: A hard reset erases all of the data stored in RAM memory and

all RAM installed applications!

Using ScanWedge to Test the MSCR

ScanWedge is a utility on Dolphin Terminals that can send data received from the decoder, serial port, or IrDA interface to the foreground application. The foreground application is the open software application whose window is currently active on the screen.

Note: The ScanWedge utility does not support smart card reading.

Set Up and Start ScanWedge

1. Tap Start > File Explorer. Navigate to the IPSM folder.

2. Tap on the ScanWedge.exm file to open it.

3. Drill down to the Comm folder.

4. Locate the Key column near the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on Enable.

5. Select Modify. Set the Value to Enable.

6. Tap OK on the Navigation Bar.

7. Using the same procedure in steps 4 through 6, set the BaudRate to 9600 and PowerOut to Enable.

8. Tap OK.

9. Tap Start > Power Tools > ScanWedge.

Test Swipe a Magnetic Stripe Card

1. Tap Start > Notes.

2. Swipe a magnetic stripe card. The green LED stays illuminated for the duration of the swipe.

Note: You can swipe the card from either the left or the right.

Make sure the magnetic stripe of the card is facing down, toward the I/O connector.

3. The LED rapidly flashes green four times to indicate a good read. The data from the card appears on the terminal’s screen.

Removing the MSCR from the Terminal

1. Press the Power Key to put the Dolphin terminal in Suspend mode.

2. Press in the release latches located on the left and right sides of the MSCR.

3. Slide the MSCR off the terminal base.

Charging the Terminal

The MSCR facilitates cradle and cable charging of the Dolphin 9700 while attached to the bottom of the terminal.

The MSCR is compatible with all Dolphin 9700 charging cables, and the 9700 HomeBase™, ChargeBase™, eBase™, and Net Base.

Note: The Dolphin 9700 with an attached

MSCR cannot be used with the Dolphin 9700 Mobile Base or Mobile Mount peripherals. If you are using one of these peripherals, you can temporarily snap-fit the MSCR to the terminal to swipe cards, then remove the MSCR to connect the terminal to the peripheral.
