My Caps Lock LED on my keyboard flickers when I read a card

Cause: The Keyboard Country that you are using requires shifting in and out of the Shift Lock mode to send the data properly.

Solution: This is normal operation. You can reduce the flickering and speed the data transmit by sending numerics as keypad numerics, or setting the Keyboard Country to UNIVERSAL mode.

Changing the Keyboard Country

Steps: With your keyboard connected to the card reader and using Windows notepad or some other program you can type in, follow these steps:

<Left Ctrl> <CapsLock> <Right Shift> <Backspace> This will display the prompt "Press F1-F10 for options"
Now press the F1 key and press the Down Arrow key until the reader displays "Keyboard Country:"
Press the right arrow until the option displays the proper keyboard country for your application
Now press and hold down the following keys: <Left Ctrl> <Escape> and release both keys. This will display the message "Setup Complete Changes saved".
Test your card output in Windows notepad, if this did not fix the issue then repeat Steps 1 through 4 but modify the keyboard country until you get the one that you desire.
