YSOFT SAFEQ USB CARD READER V2 – ADMINISTRATOR’S GUIDE V1.2 [EN] 13/22
Action 3 sets card reader protocol. For some card readers it is necessary to enable support for another
card types. Default card reader protocol is 0 which means that the reader default protocol will be
used. If invalid card reader protocol is selected then the default protocol will be used.
Note: Please see Y Soft Card Readers Protocols.pdf for more details about card reader protocols. This*. pdf file is
always attached to the zip file with released FW of the USB reader.
Action 4 enables debugging in case something goes wrong with the reader (for example hang-up or
reboot or anything similar). Please note that debugging enabled causes wear-out of the internal flash
so enable it only in cases when it is necessary!
Action 5 enables or disables sound on the USB reader. Please note that there is no visual identifica-
tion of successful card reading so users in some cases cannot guess what may be wrong if the card
reader makes no sound
Action 99 returns user to the previous menu. If any changes are made, the card reader is rebooted
and the changes are applied.
Action 100 returns user to the previous menu. If any changes in settings are made they are discarded
and original settings remain.
4.2.1 USB KEYBOARD
USB keyboard – Optional mode
In this mode the USB reader works as a standard USB keyboard and can be switched to mode 3 only.
NOTE:
Typing of the keys is emulated as numeric keypad for 0-9 and A-F keys on standard EN/US keyboard layout. If
the card number contains any other characters, they are ignored. Caps-lock and Num-lock are enabled and
disabled if necessary and returned back to previous state after the card number is read.
The "Shift", "Ctrl", "Alt" keys must not be held during card placing or it will collide with caps-lock and num-
lock setting and incorrect card number will be read
If a national keyboard layout is used (such as French, Russian, Chinese or other) a wrong card number will be
entered. In such cases a switch to US/EN keyboard layout is necessary before placing the card.
