Magnetic Card Reader CAB File
For the Magnetic Card Reader to work, the MAGCARD.CAB file must
be installed (which installs and registers the MAGCARD.DLL file).
Contact your Intermec representative to get this file, then install this file in
your 700 Series Computer. The TE 2000 application only looks for the
MAGCARD.DLL file when it gets a Magnetic Card Reader (#M)
extended command from the host.
