MagTek Device Drivers for Windows

Property names specified in format rules are 11 characters or less, consisting of alphabetic characters, digits, and ‘_’. The property name begins with an alphabetic character.

Properties used in format strings do not conflict with properties defined by the driver. If there is a duplicate property (e.g., dev_version) specified in the format strings, the driver will return the value of the parsed property rather than the device version string.

Magnetic stripe formats are comprised of the following types of fields.

Format Code

– One or two characters specifying the format

 

of the data to follow

Field Separator

– Used to delimit fields of data

Fixed-Size

– Data field which is fixed-length

Variable-Size

– Data field which is variable-length and is

 

terminated by a field separator

Optional

– The data is either a fixed-size field or a field

 

separator (if the field is not present)

DESCRIPTION

The MTD driver supports up to 8 different card formats. Each format consists of a name, a template, and a set of rules. There may be multiple rules for a single template, but there can only be one template per format name. The name identifies the format. The template provides a high-level format to which the data is to be compared so as to determine if the rules for the format in question should be applied. The rules are specific format strings that specify how to parse the data and the properties into which the parsed data is to be stored.

When the driver applies a format, it will make that knowledge available to an application through a property which can be retrieved with the /get command.

The driver may be parameterized with the formats via values in the device’s software key in the registry. The following REG_SZ registry values are supported where x is a number 1-8.

fmtx_name

name for format

fmtx_template

format template

fmtx_rules

one or more comma-delimited rules

When the driver receives data from the device, it attempts to match the incoming data to one of the templates. If a template matches, the driver attempts to parse the data using one of the rules corresponding to the matched template. It sequentially attempts to apply each rule in the order that it appears in the fmtx_rules property. If the driver cannot apply any of the rules, the driver attempts to match the data to the next template and apply its rules until it either successfully applies a rule or runs out of templates.
