Formulas
The set of instructions programmed into the MiniMag to edit data is
referred to as the data editing “formula.” More than one formula (to
a maximum of four) can be resident in the reader at one time. If more
than one formula resides in memory, the reader will apply the first for-
mula to the input data. If the scanned data matches the format (credit
card, driver’s license, etc.) of the first formula, then it will apply the
data editing functions and output the reformatted data to the host.
If the data does not match the criteria spelled out in the first formula,
then the criteria of the second formula is applied. This process contin
-
ues for each of the successive formulas until a match is found. If no
matches are found to any of the formulas programmed into the reader,
then either nothing will be transmitted to the host, or the unedited data
record will be transmitted, according to the data editing matched flag,
whether set or not.
The MiniMag supports four kinds of formulas: credit card, California
driver’s license, and AAMVA formats, as well as a customized format.
The user can define all four, or only one at a time. However, the Min-
iMag can only keep one credit card, one California driver’s license,
one AAMVA, and one customized format at a time.
