  IC card reader  6 – 4

When an error occurs, troubleshoot the cause and remove the trou-
ble. Then perform the above procedures again. 

Possible causes for an error may be error of the IC card or
improper contents of the setting file for HID card reading.

This manual describes the following setting procedures for reading
data from an IC card by using the HID card reading function:

? Setting of the reading area of card data

? Setting for assignment of read data to the card ID and the facility

code

* If the above setting procedures are not completed, the default

setting is valid, reading all the data in the card and assigning to
the card ID.

The brief steps of the setting are:

? Make the setting file according to the format specified in this

manual.

? Import the setting file through web page or by using the system

setting of the machine, "HID user area setting"

Incase of System setting mode:

User control > Card area setting > Importing from the setup file

The format of the setting file should be as shown below:

Key name = Key value

* Use the template setting file, change the key value, make an

arbitrary file name with an arbitrary extension (such as .ini), and
save the file.

? A line started with "#" or ";" is treated as a comment.

? A blank line may be inserted.

? Use one-byte alphanumeric characters only (except for comment

lines).

? A one-byte space may be inserted in front of and at the back of

"=" which connects the key name and the key value.

? Characters for the key value are case-insensitive. ("ABCD" is

considered as the same as "abcd".)

The section name (which is not changed in principle) and the key
name must be distinguished each other. 

? The size of the setting file must be 4KByte or less.

? For the keys which are not set, the column of the value must be

blank or the whole line may be deleted (commented out). 

*1: This manual describes only the setting of the HID card.

For [Decoding\CardId] section, the same as above.

When Data = #!abcde$12345%vxxyz ;

Position = 3

Length = 5

 -> Decoded Data = abcde

Start.Delimiter = $

End.Delimiter = %

 -> Decoded Data = 12345

Card is not 
found.

Length Position

The length of reading from the position specified with the 
key is specified with a decimal number (1 - 128). 
(* Specified only when the location key value is 
"ByPosition".)
* The total of this set value and the value specified with 

Position key must be 128+1 or less.
