MagTek Device Drivers for Windows

COMMANDS

Like properties, commands are identified by a string name and have string arguments. All commands are terminated by line feed <LF> or a carriage return. To invoke a command, an application simply writes it to the driver in the same manner as writing to a file or serial port. If the command has a response defined for it, the application reads it from the driver using the same I/O handle as in the write.

Four types of commands are defined by the device control language:

•Non-interactive– These commands manipulate the device without requiring any interaction with the user. The property commands get and set, reset and ver are examples of this type.

•Interactive – These commands interact with the user. They do not necessarily require the user to do anything but may only prompt the user to do something. display is an example of such a command. Others, such as read or write, however, require user interaction to complete. For example, the user must either swipe a card or cancel the operation in order to complete a read command.

•Device-specific– These commands give access to device-specific features. For example, the load_key command is available for MagTek devices that use keys to encrypt data before sending it to the host.

•Raw – These are effectively escape commands. They allow the application to bypass the driver to perform device-specific operations that are not included in the driver syntax and not supported elsewhere. With these commands, an application has no limitations on the amount of control it has over a device. The raw commands can be formatted exactly as specified in the device documentation. The command bracketing will be inserted by the driver if required (e.g., <stx> and <etx> will be inserted for certain devices). Three commands are defined for this type: rawsend and rawrecv, used to send and receive data directly to the device, and rawxact, a transactional version that is a combination of the first two.

A small set of interactive and non-interactive commands is all that is required for an application to perform the most common tasks with these devices. Device-specific or raw commands should rarely ever be needed.
