Magnetic Card Reader (#M)
Note: The Magnetic Card Reader (#M) command for Magnetic Card
Reader support is included in software build v er sions 7.12 and greater.
On the following Intermec printers, you can access the Magnetic Card
Reader from the host by sending an extended #M command to the TE
2000 application.

S PW40 with CR
S 6808 CR
The Magnetic Card Reader extended command is supported for 3270,
5250, and VT/ANSI terminal emulations but not the Native terminal
emulation. 3270 and 5250 terminal emulations require an input field to
holdthecarddata.Databeyondthesizeofthefieldwillbediscarded.
When the 700 Series Computer with the TE 2000 application receives the
Magnetic Card Reader (#M) command, the display will show:
Please SWIPE Card
NOW!
(Press any key)
to cancel.)
The operator should then swipe the card through the reader to cancel the
process. The card reader data buffer is cleared just after displaying the
waiting message, thus do not swipe the card until prompted by the display.
Pressing a key instead of swiping a card will cancel the process (see return
code “K” on the next page).
