About APIs

MagTek provides convenient Application Programming Interface (API) libraries for some connection
types and development frameworks. These APIs wrap the details of the connection in an interface that
conceptually parallels the device's internal operation, freeing developers from dealing with the details of
the connection, and allowing them to focus on software business logic. In cases where API libraries are
available, developers also have the option to revert to direct communication with the device using
libraries available in the chosen development framework. This document provides information and
support for the latter method. Information about using MagTek APIs is available in separate
documentation, including D99875394 IPAD, DYNAPRO, AND DYNAPRO MINI
PROGRAMMER'S MANUAL (.NET).
