Reader Operation
This section describes how to present cards and tags to the Reader and obtain the data read
from the card.
from the card.
Presenting Cards/Tags
Presenting a card or tag to the Reader so it can be read is simple. Simply bring the
card/tag within a few centimeters of the antenna. It is also OK to gently touch the
card on the antenna. Present a card/tag so that its maximum surface area is parallel
to the antenna to obtain the best read range.
If a card/tag is read successfully the beeper will emit a single beep and, if connected,
all LEDs on the Antenna PCA will illuminate (the leftmost LED remains on to
indicate power, the others illuminate briefly). If a card is not read successfully no
beep will occur nor will the LEDs flash.
Note that only one card/tag can be in the antenna’s field at a give time. Once a
card/tag has been read it must be removed from the antenna’s field (about 6 in. or 15
cm.) for at least 1 second and then presented again to be read again. However,
different cards/tags can be read at less than 0.5 second intervals.

After a card/tag has been read successfully the Reader will store its data in the buffer
and send it to the host through the RS‐232 interface, the Magnetic Card Reader
interface, and through the Strip Drive interface.
and send it to the host through the RS‐232 interface, the Magnetic Card Reader
interface, and through the Strip Drive interface.
RS‐232 Operation
RS‐232 communications use the J2 signals RX and TX to send and transmit serial data
to/from the host. No flow control is used with 8 bits of data, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
Baud rates are 9600, 19200 (default), 38,400, and 57,600.
The default serial mode is “Burst” which automatically (without a host command)
transmits the data to the host when a valid card/tag is read. Refer to the ViVOPay
Serial Port Interface document for details on serial packet formatting and other serial
interface commands.
