Magnetic Stripe Terminator Character

Enter (CRLF), Return (CR), Field Exit (LF), or None: For some applica- tions, it may be convenient to end a string of magnetic stripe data with a terminator character. For example, with keyboard entry, it is common to have the operator signify the end of the data input with the “Enter” keystroke. The terminator character serves this function.

D1<ENTER>A for ENTER

D1<ENTER>B for CR

D1<ENTER>C for LF

D1<ENTER>D for None

Magnetic Stripe Preamble

D2<ENTER><SELECTED CHARACTERS OR FUNCTION KEY>

Magnetic Stripe Postamble

0 to 16 ASCII characters: The magnetic stripe postamble serves the same purpose as the preamble, except it is added to the end of the read data after any terminator characters.
