Connect USB of the MSR605 signal cable to a free serial port. Setup the usb driver(for windows xp or vista) and Setup the driver for MSR605,all driver in the cd.ģ. In the MSR Programmers Manual, it states the following:Ģ. Is there a way to utilized a Magnetic Reader/Writer like the MSR605 as a simple reader?
However, I am unable to get it to read info from the cards, unless I have their software open, which sets the card reader to 'Read Mode'. I recently purchased the MSR605, which can write as well as read cards. There is no programming necessary, except to parse the data, etc. These magnetic swipe readers essentially just dump whatever data is on the card to the screen cursur, as if it was typed.įor example, if you had notepad open, and you swiped a card, then it would output the data into notepad. We have an application that allows a CC Reader (such as the MSR206) to be swiped to enter in a credit card number.
