3-8. Reading the Buffer
It is possible to read the buffer when a card that has been read/written is idling. The buffer
read commands (29h, 2Ah, 2Bh) obtains the read data stored in the read buffer on the visual
card reader/writer.
It is possible to get the read data on the track by using the buffer read commands (29h, 2Ah,
2Bh) without transporting a card. The result is high speed reading of the card.
The card will be transported and read if the card is not idling or by using the buffer read
commands (29h, 2Ah, 2Bh) when the read/write operation has not been performed before
executing the buffer read commands (29h, 2Ah, 2Bh).
This buffer read commands (29h, 2Ah, 2Bh) is a similar operation to the read cache.
