POSTFIX postx: This option specifies the track data postfix. The printer defaults to no postfix. The

POSTFIX command should be followed by the data that needs to be sent from the printer to the host

after all track data have been transmitted, up to 10 characters, and terminated with space or carriage-

return/line-feed characters. An example of a typical postfix option is “POSTFIX END”.

DEL lr: Defines the track number delimiters, where “l” is the left delimiter character, and “r” is the

right delimiter character. Default delimiters for the printer are “DEL T:”, meaning that the printer will

transmit T, followed by the track number if track number reporting is specified via the TN option, and

the ‘:’. The transmitted data will be, “T1:” or “T:”, or “T2:”, depending on the options selected.

DELAY nnn: This option specifies the inter-character delay of data sent from the printer to the host,

in milliseconds. This command is typically used where the host computer can not collect data

transmitted from the printer fast enough, resulting in missed characters. The default DELAY is 0. An

example of the DELAY option is: “DELAY 15” which instructs the printer to observe a 15-millisecond

delay before sending the next character data to the host.

TN: This option enables the reporting of track number between the delimiters (see “DEL lr”

command). The printer will report the track number by default.

NTN:This options disables the reporting of the track number, inserted between the delimiters. The

printer enables track number reporting by default.

Error Reporting Options

ERRORS: This option turns error reporting on. Error reporting is turned off by default. The following is

a list of the error messages (Please note that the following error messages will be transmitted only if

error reporting is turned on, via the ERRORS option in the MCR command):

READ ERROR: This error is reported when the card could not be read due to errors such as parity

check, LRC check-sum, no end-sentinel, or invalid characters. It indicates that either: (1) the card is

bad, or (2) the card was not swiped correctly. The printer will leave the MCR on and will continue to

try to read future card swipe retries by the user until it times out or until a successful read, whichever

occurs first.

CANCEL: This error is reported when a MCR-CAN command is received. This error message will

confirm that the MCR is turned off.
