Power off your PC. 2. Connect RJ45M end of RS-232 cable to the encoder. 3. Connect DB9F end of RS-232 cable to a free serial port on your system. 4. Connect stereo plug of AC adapter to power jack on the encoder. 5. Connect AC adapter to electrical outlet. 6. Power on your PC.

Notes: Use the power stealer instead of the AC adapter for the loco only model.  Connect the PS/2 ends of the U-cable to the keyboard port on your PC and your keyboard respectively then connect the stereo plug to the power jack on the encoder. INTRODUCTION Dual Platform MSE-700 Series is a manual swipe type magstripe card encoder intended for use with a personal computer via the RS-232 or USB connectivity.  It reads and writes magstripe cards with coercivity ranging from 300 through 4000 Oersted. Two models are available from MSE-700 Series - hico/loco configurable and loco only.  All information contained in this document is pertinent to the hico/loco configurable model unless otherwise noted. MSE-700 Series reads and writes data format as specified by ISO 7811/2 through 5 and ANSI 4.16 1983.  Any ISO/ANSI standard track format can be read/written from/to any track location (1, 2, or 3). MSE-700 Series also supports custom data format - any BPC/BPI combination on any track, such as T1:5BPC/75BPI, T2:6BPC/210BPI, and T3:7BPC/75BPI. Standard package comes equipped with the following: MSE-700 main unit Switching power supply (100~240VAC input/24VDC 2.5A output) for Hoco/Loco model, the Loco only model is accessorized with a detachable power stealer U-cable that draws 5VDC 500mA power from the keyboard port. Detachable RS-232 cable (beige) Detachable USB cable (black), bundled in Hico/Loco model, but optional for Loco only model Utility/driver CD Two blank test cards (one hico & one loco, or two loco) One cleaning card User's Manual MSE-700 Series supports two most popular magstripe encoder platforms - MSR206 and MSE-630A.  You can run your existing application under its compatible emulation mode.  For instance, if your have a piece of software which was written to MSR206 command set, then the same software will be able to interoperate with MSE-700 Series when the hardware is set to MSR206 emulation mode.  Conversely, an existing MSE-630A application will run with MSE-700 Series when the encoder is set to MSE-630A emulation mode. Emulation mode is configurable via a DIP switch. Flip all four switches on if you prefer to operate MSE-700 Series under the MSE-630A emulation mode with its RS-232 parameters set to odd parity and 7 data bits. · · · · · · · · Notes: Loco only model is accessorized with a detachable power stealer U-cable that draws the 5VDC 500mA power from the keyboard port. All four switches are set to off at factory.  The default settings enable MSE-700 Series to run under the MSR206 emulation mode with its RS-232 parameters set to none parity and 8 data bits. 1 2 3 DIP Switch Settings under MSR206 Emulation Mode Upon successful installation of MSE-700 Series, under MSR206 emulation mode, only the green LED comes on and stays on.  In contrast, under MSE-630A emulation mode, all three LEDs (green, yellow, and red) come on simultaneously for about a second then go off altogether, and the encoder beeps momentarily. Not Ready for Ready to Error MSR206 Applicable Next Read/Write Condition Command Ready for Ready to Ready to Error MSE-630A Next Read Write Condition Command MSE Utility is a productivity tool intended primarily for use with ISO/ANSI-compliant magstripe cards.  ISO or ANSI specifies 7 bits per character as the standard data format for track 1, and 5 bits per character for both track 2 and track 3.  ISO or ANSI also specifies 210 BPI as the encoding density for tracks 1 and 3, and 75 BPI for track 2. We use ISO, ANSI, or ISO/ANSI interchangeably throughout this document. Set up the software to be compatible with the hardware in order to establish successful communications between the two.  If your encoder is configured to operate under the MSR206 emulation mode, i.e., all four DIP switches are turned as shown by the left side drawing, then set up MSE Utility per the right side menu: Alternatively, if your encoder is configured to operate under the MSE- 630A emulation mode, i.e., all four DIP switches are turned as shown by the left side drawing, then set up MSE Utility per the right side menu: Emu Mode All LEDs Green LED Yellow LED Red LED Off On On On off on LED Status Indicator MSE Utility About MSE Utility Set Up MSE Utility
