The ID Tech VersaKey keyboard features a full function magnetic stripe reader for input of magnetic stripe card data. The magnetic stripe reader data output is versatile; the output is configurable to provide the card data in the format required by the application. The magnetic card reader operation is like typing the magnetic stripe data from the keyboard. Track configurations are available for reading tracks 1 & 2 or all 3 tracks on ISO 7811 compliant cards. The reader and keyboard share a common communications output. The ID Tech VersaKey magnetic card reader has full data editing capabilities. The magnetic card reader is fully programmable using a Configuration Utility Software available at the ID Tech website. The data can be formatted with preamble and postamble (a.k.a. prefix and suffix). Terminator characters can be added to match the format expected by the host application. In addition, complex data editing routines can be stored in the reader that further modifies the data before it is output to the host. |

The VersaKey POS Keyboard
provides a USB (keyboard emulation) or PS/2 Keyboard communication output.
This output is conveniently shared between the keyboard and magnetic
stripe reader. For the USB model, a two-port USB hub is included and can
be used for barcode scanners or PIN pads. Plug & Play operation is
standard.
Both the ID Tech VersaKey and magnetic card reader are industry proven. The VersaKey Keyboard provides more than 20,000,000 key operations; the magnetic card reader has an operational life greater than 1,000,000 swipes. |

The ID Tech VersaKey keyboard has a single cable equipped for either a USB/Keyboard or a PS/2 Keyboard communication connection. Both the keyboard scan codes and the magnetic card reader data are transmitted through the cable. The computer typically has only one PS/2 Port (standard keyboard connection); this must be used for the PS/2 configured VersaKey POS keyboard. The computer may have several USB connection ports; any of these ports can be used to connect the USB keyboard. Many computers today do not have the standard PS/2 keyboard ports, instead the computer will have a bank of USB ports, and because of this the USB interface keyboards are becoming the common interface for keyboards as well as other hardware devices such as barcode scanners and magnetic card readers. To install the ID Tech VersaKey POS keyboard, close any open applications and shut down the computer. Determine the VersaKey connection type and locate the appropriate connection port on the computer. Securely install the cable connector into the computer port. Re-start the computer. When the VersaKey keyboard is powered, it performs a self test and initiation sequence with the computer. During the self test, the magnetic stripe card reader will beep. The power LED will light to indicate power is applied. The LED's will show the status of the Scroll Lock, Num Lock, and Caps Lock functions. In MagStripe reading operation, the magnetic card reader will beep when a card is read correctly. Test the VersaKey keyboard with normal use in a text editor such as Notepad or Microsoft Word. Also test the magnetic card reader by swiping a magnetic stripe card through the reader. A beep will also sound to indicate a good read on each magnetic track, as appropriate. If all three tracks have been read successfully, the magnetic card reader will beep three times. Magnetic stripe data read by the magnetic card reader is transmitted such that the data appears to be coming directly from the keyboard. This makes the card reader a data source and completely transparent to the computer application software. In other words, magnetic stripe data is formatted by the card reader based on the needs of the application; the formatted data is sent through the keyboard interface to the application. |

The magnetically encoded data on the magnetic stripe can be decoded (read) by magnetic card readers. The stripe data has a fixed format defined by the ISO standards. The ISO fixed format is not always convenient or useful for card reading applications. The solution for the card reader to decode the stripe data and then arrange the data into useful format and content. The reader-formatted data is transmitted from an intelligent communication interface. The Id Tech VersaKey Reader is an intelligent magnetic stripe reader, which provides extensive formatting capability In addition, characters can be added to the formatted data. The added characters form either a prefix or a suffix to the magnetic stripe data. To support the formatting capability, ID Tech provides easy to use Configuration Utility software. The operating systems supported are Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. The reader must be appropriately configured to the application. Configuration settings enable the reader to work with the host system. Once the reader is programmed, these configuration settings are stored in the reader's non-volatile memory (so they are not affected by the cycling of power). The integrated magnetic card reader on the VersaKey POS keyboard is shipped from the factory with the default settings already programmed. The reader has been factory programmed with the least restricted settings, thus making the magnetic card reader ready to read most standard format magnetic stripe cards. |
