Age Verification by Card Swipe
(California support added at V1.00m) Many state drivers licenses encode driver data on a mag stripe. When
age entry is required, the drivers license can be swiped and the age verified. This feature is enabled by
identifying track data on the Age Verification program screen.
Operate by swiping the drivers license (or manually entering the date) when the CUSTOMER DATE OF
BIRTH window displays.
1. To program, go to S/SELF TEST/MSR and swipe the drivers license mag strip. The mag stripe
data will display on the screen as in the example below:
Track 2
Track 1
2. Identify the date of birth in the data and determine the track where the date is located (track 1 or
track 2).
3. Determine the format of the date (i.e. YYYYMMDD). (Added at V1.00m: "MMYYY99YY"
date format for California. California must also choose "10" for "digit of number" option.)
4. Count the columns of data and determine the number of the column where the birth date begins
(START OF NUMBER).
5. Go to P/PLU/AGE VERIFICATION and make the appropriate entries in the READ TRACK,
START OF NUMBER, DIGIT OF NUMBER and DATE TYPE fields.
