send termination string after each track

By default all of ID Innovations credit card readers output the termination string after all the track data has been sent.  The reader contains several options for placement of the termination string. 

Steps: If you have a PS/2 reader you will need to connect a PS/2 keyboard to the KBD connector on the cable coming from the card reader.

We have defined a Quick Keys combination for this settings.  Simply press and hold the following keys: <Left Control><2><Right Shift><Enter> and release all keys.  The reader will respond with a series of beeps followed by two confirmation beeps that the option is set.

Swipe your card in windows notepad or some other text editing program to verify the termination string is being output at the end of each track as required.

Steps: If you have a USB MultiMode reader you will need to download the Universal Programmer Software (www.idinnovations.com) and install it on your computer. 

  1. Run the Universal Programmer software
  2. Press F6 to display the Termination String settings dialog
  3. Use your Tab key or click you mouse to position the cursor on the Send Termination String combo box. 
  4. Set the option to After Each Track and Click Ok
  5. If the software does not prompt you to send the configuration to the reader you may click on the Send button on the Toolbar or you may choose the Send Configuration option from the File menu.  The reader will beep and you will see a progress bar run across the window indicating that the configuration is being sent to the reader.
