Figure 1-1. P-Series Port Powered Insertion Reader Configurations
1
SECTION 1. FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS
The P-Series Port Powered Insertion Reader can be single or dual head configuration. Figure 1-1
shows the Readers, cabling configurations, and bezel configuration. The dual head configuration
can read the card on insertion and removal with the magnetic stripe facing left or right. The
single head configuration can read the card on insertion and removal if the stripe is oriented to
match the position of the head.
The Reader also has circuitry that automatically ensures that the ISO magnetic stripe is read in
the case where a dual-stripe JIS (Japanese) credit card is inserted on the dual head unit. (The JIS
stripe is ignored.)
The Reader conforms to the following specifications: ISO (International Standards
Organization) and ANSI (American National Standards Institute). The Reader conforms to
specifications for Tracks 1 and 2 of the following 3-Track formats: AAMVA (American
Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators) and CDL (California Drivers License).
FEATURES
Features of the Reader are as follows:
• Port Powered RS-232 Interface - powered from PC port with computers having an RS-232
interface.
• Single or Dual Read Head - Configuration can be Single or Dual Read Head.
• JIS Discrimination circuitry - automatically detects if a dual-stripe JIS (Japanese Industrial
Standard) card is inserted, and auto-routes the ISO data signals to microcontroller. This
ensures that dual-head features still work for Japanese card holders.
• Mag-Stripe reading during insertion and removal of card - for reliable card reading.
• Sealed Chassis design - provides superior protection from moisture.
• Isolated PCB - isolates electronics from debris and liquids.
• AGC (Automatic Gain Control) in MagTek's latest read IC - enhances read performance with
less susceptibility to RF interference.
• Beam-mounted Read-heads - improves card tracking capabilities.
• Ruggedized Chassis and Bezel Material - improves temperature and impact performance.
• Command Selectable Buffered or Unbuffered Modes - provides greater versatility of
operating modes.
• Command Selectable Framing Characters - provides selection of STX, ETX, ESC, and CR.
• ASCII Message Format at 9600 bps.
