Normal Operation
The MS240/241 is designed to read magnetic stripe data. If the
MS240/241 has not been altered from its factory default, it will
output the data in its original format.
The PS/2, AT, USB, and TTL readers output data as if the data had
been typed on the host computer’s keyboard, and can be viewed in
any text editor such as Notepad or Word. The RS232 reader out-
puts the data through the computer serial port like a modem, in
ASCII format, and thus requires a program such as HyperTerminal
to view the data.
The MS240/241 reads up to three tracks of data. Normally bank
cards utilize only the first two tracks, of which the second track
contains appropriate data for most credit card purchases. The third
track is usually present only on driver licenses.
The MS240/241 reader is compliant with ISO 7811, AAMVA, and
CA DMV formats.
