Elo TouchSystems 1525L manual Properties, Property Access Description

SECTION 2. PROPERTIES

This section lists the properties that are used in the MagTek Drivers. Properties can be interrogated by issuing a get command and modified with a set command. Refer to Section 3. Commands for complete description and examples of all commands.

The c_xxx properties are set by the driver and reflect the device’s capabilities. However, the c_xxx properties do not indicate the configuration of the device. For example, a device may be capable of reading all three magnetic tracks but be configured to only read two tracks or a MICR reader, while often configured with a magnetic stripe reader, may not have an MSR installed. Unless otherwise noted, 1 means the capability is available, 0 or null (i.e., the value is not present) means that the capability is not available.

In this table, the Access information indicates whether the property can be modified (Read/Write –R/W) or merely accessed (Read Only–R).

Property	Access	Description
account_no	R/W	Cardholder account number, including check digit. It is set by the
		application to be used in PIN encryption commands (IntelliPIN).
amount	R/W	Transaction amount in cents, without punctuation (IntelliPIN).
applied_fmt	R	Indicates which format template was used to parse the magnetics
		data. If no template or rule is applied, this property returns a null.
c_card_stat	R	1 indicates that the driver supports retrieval of card sensor status
		(e.g., PPINSERT)
c_cardwpin	R	1 if the device supports reading of a card and a PIN in response to
		a single command (e.g., IntelliPIN).
c_check	R	1 if the device can read checks (e.g., MICR devices).
c_events	R	1 indicates that the driver supports unsolicited event notification
		(e.g., PPINSERT).
c_keypress	R	1 if the device supports retrieval of a key press (e.g., IntelliPIN).
c_keystring	R	1 if the device supports retrieval of a sequence of key presses (e.g.,
		IntelliPIN).
c_magnetic	R	1 if the device can read magnetic cards.
c_mechanics	R	This value indicates how the card reader’s mechanism operates:
		0 – manually operated device or no card reader
		1 – device is mechanized and supports “eject”
		2 – device is mechanized and supports “eject” and “confiscate”
c_pin	R	1 if the device supports reading of PINs (e.g., IntelliPIN).
c_smart	R	1 if the device supports smart cards.
c_tracks	R	A three-character string, representing the tracks supported by the
		device. The left-most position indicates track 1. Thus 110
		indicates that the device can access tracks 1 and 2 but not track 3.
		See trk_enable to determine which tracks are enabled.
