  • Page 100 SECTION 1. OVERVIEW The MagTek Device (MTD) Drivers for Windows is a collection of individual drivers that support a number of MagTek products. These drivers provide a uniform application interface for controlling a wide range of MagTek devices. The drivers, combined with a device control language, solve many of the difficulties application developers face when attempting to control hardware devices.
  • Page 101 MagTek Device Drivers for Windows • MagTek devices are attached to the host in different ways. MagTek devices may be attached to a serial port, parallel port, to another device or even to the keyboard port. All these ports differ greatly in nature and would all have to be accessed by the application. Additionally, meaningful communication with a device attached to the keyboard port would be tricky at best.
  • Page 102 Section 1. Overview usually remain unchanged, even though the new device may be very different from the old one. The features of a driver that implement a device control language completely shield an application developer from the complexities of device-specific functionality. LANGUAGE OVERVIEW The device control language is text based and designed to utilize the read and write file I/O facilities of the underlying operating system.
  • Page 103 MagTek Device Drivers for Windows COMMANDS Like properties, commands are identified by a string name and have string arguments. All commands are terminated by line feed <LF> or a carriage return. To invoke a command, an application simply writes it to the driver in the same manner as writing to a file or serial port. If the command has a response defined for it, the application reads it from the driver using the same I/O handle as in the write.
  • Page 104 Section 1. Overview TYPICAL OPERATION This section describes a typical pattern that an application developer may use to operate a device. Although it is the most typical pattern, it is by no means the only viable one. Refer to Section 5, Example Applications, to see how to use the drivers in various applications.
  • Page 105 MagTek Device Drivers for Windows instruct the device to return the card data when swiped. All the facilities of the driver are utilized during this stage of operation. Close the device When the application is finished with the device, it simply closes the port using the handle obtained when it opened it.

It also COM<5-15> identifies the physical port that will be used to communicate with the device. Open the device using either of the previous names.

This is typical if the status does not indicate a failure, per se, but that the device may not be ready yet or first needs some other interaction by the user. It can reset the device and prompt the user to repeat the action.

    SECTION 3. COMMANDS This section describes all of the commands that can be used with the MagTek Windows Device Drivers.

  • Page 128: Section 4. Magnetic Card Data Parsing

    SECTION 4. MAGNETIC CARD DATA PARSING This section describes the flexible data parsing language to be used by the MagTek device drivers to parse specific fields from magnetic card data and expose those fields as properties which may be retrieved by an application using the /get command. The data parsing language is flexible in that it can define both standard and custom formats to be parsed by the driver.
  • Page 129 MagTek Device Drivers for Windows • Property names specified in format rules are 11 characters or less, consisting of alphabetic characters, digits, and ‘_’. The property name begins with an alphabetic character. • Properties used in format strings do not conflict with properties defined by the driver. If there is a duplicate property (e.g., dev_version) specified in the format strings, the driver will return the value of the parsed property rather than the device version string.
  • Page 130 Section 4. Magnetic Card Data Parsing If the driver is successful in applying one of the rules, the name of the applied format is available in the property applied_fmt. LANGUAGE FORMAT Format Name (fmtx_name) The format name specifies an identifier by which to identify the format template and/or rules being applied.
  • Page 131 MagTek Device Drivers for Windows A format rule describes how the data is to be parsed. Characters that must be matched as literals are placed as is in the string or preceded with a ‘\’ if the character is one of the following: ‘[’, ‘]’, ‘(’, ‘)’, ‘*’, ‘_’, ‘<’, ‘>’, ‘:’, ‘.’, or ‘\’.
  • Page 132 Section 4. Magnetic Card Data Parsing Field Type Example Description Literal A literal is placed in the string as is and is used to determine if a particular format should be applied and to mark the end of a variable-length field. Non-ASCII literal \r, \n, \\, \xhh Specify an escape character or non-ASCII...
  • Page 133 MagTek Device Drivers for Windows The property name can also contain a modifier at the end preceded by a ‘:’ which specifies the type of data to store in that property. For example <cust_name:A> specifies that customer name should contain alphabetic characters, spaces, and punctuation. The modifier may also be used with ignore-fields (i.e., <*>).
  • Page 134 Section 4. Magnetic Card Data Parsing DEFAULT FORMATS The MTD drivers will be assigned parameters with default formats for parsing magnetic stripe data. The formats will be placed in the INF file for the driver and written to the registry when the driver is installed.
