Operating in Two Modes: HID and Keyboard Emulation (KB) Mode
The MagTek Dynamag can be used in two modes: HID and HID with
Keyboard Emulation, or KB.
HID mode means that the Dynamag is operating as an HID-defined
device. Keyboard Emulation mode simulates basic keyboard
mapping, allowing you to input data on your MagTek Dynamag as
though you were using a traditional keyboard device.
When you process payments and transmit card data with your
Dynamag in Keyboard Emulation mode, the host identifies your
device as a keyboard. Note that HID and Keyboard Emulation
mode cannot be used simultaneously.
When using KB mode, refrain from typing and swiping in tandem,
which may disrupt the transaction. If another keyboard is
connected to the same host or computer as the Dynamag while
the device is in KB mode, the reader could become corrupted if
a key is pressed on the other keyboard while transmitting card
reader data.
A Guide To Your LED Indicator
The LED light indicator on your Dynamag is designed to let you
know the status of your device in real time. Below is a guide to
color configurations when using your MagTek card reader:
• No light: The device is not powered on. Alternatively, the host
may have prompted it to enter SUSPEND MODE.
• Green: Ready to read the card (unless authentication is
required).
• Green (blinking): Authentication is established. Dynamag is
ready to read the card.
• Green (rapid blinking): The card has been swiped, and Dynamag
is currently decoding card information.
• Amber: The device has just been turned on and is waiting to
activate.
• Red: Card swipe or authentication has failed. Red light may also
flash if the Dynamag user is updating their firmware.
