Section 1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the MSR605 Manual Swipe Magnetic Card Reader/Writer. It is ideal for access control,
time keeping, banking, ID recognition & credit verification and related applications. In fact, wherever a magnetic
stripe ID or transaction card is used, one can find a related use for the versatile, user-friendly MSR605 reader/writer.
The MSR605 is designed to offer a reading and writing solution of high and/or low coercivity cards that will
attractively complement an existing system.
¾ Accessories of MSR605
Make sure all the following accessories are contained in your package:
1. Switch power Supply, AC 110~240V in / DC 24V, 2.2~3A out.
2. Power cord.
3. Signal cable (USB).
4. Utility disk (A/P S/W).
5. Programmer’s manual.
¾ Warranty
One year after purchase of MSR605, any alteration and/or erasure or modification of the MSR605 will void the
warranty.

MSR605 Programmer’s Manual Rev. A
Section 2 General Description
The MSR605 series is designed to read and/or write high or low coercivity magnetic cards. It can encode and verify
up to 3 tracks of data simultaneously. It communicates with a host computer or other terminal using a usb interface.

Section 5 Utilities Test Program
Every MSR605 comes with a utilities test program disk that includes a Windows version. This program is to verify
and demonstrate the functionality of the MSR605. In some cases, it can be used as a card reading and writing
program.
¾ System Requirement
1. 80286 PC/AT compatibles or later model with color display.
2. Either the following operating systems: Windows 95,98,2000,XP,VISTA
3. 256K available conventional memory.
4. A free serial port (Com 1 or Com 2) with DB9 male connector.
¾ Test Program Installation
User shall follow the steps below in order to install test program.
A. Connect MSR605 to USB port, and power on it.
B. Execute test program from the subdirectory of ‘Demo AP’ (e.g. MSR605.exe)
D. When the test program is first opened, a password dialog box will ask whether you wish a first time
password.
D The test program will auto-detect communication port. If there is any errors occurred, it’ll appear in the
information dialog box after opening the program. User can close the AP by pressing OK button.
E. If “Not Find Reader/Writer!” appears in the information dialog box after opening the program, check to
see that the USB connector is plugged into the correct USB port and the power cord/connector is also
attached to USB thus lighting the green LED on the MSR605.
F. When the test program is opened, you’ll see the main window of the READER/WRITER UTILITY
PROGRAM.
From this main window you can activate all functions by clicking the appropriate buttons and following the
on screen instructions.

* Note:
1. When [Status Byte] equal 39h means card moving error.
2. None available and none data tracks will not be transmitted when swipe of card.
For example, when read card with data encoded on track 2 only for MSR605, it will transmit data like 1B 73 1B 01
1B 02 [string] 3F 1C, for no data on track 1 so it shown 1B 01 only.

As an example the following information will be written to the card:
Track1: %ABC123?
Track2: ;12345?
Track3: ;12345?
We use three different data bits to write raw data on the cards. The procedures are listed as below:
08, 08, 08 BITS
Set each track as 08.
First of all, set BPC command:
1B, 6F, 08, 08, 08
Present the information to the card encoder, as follows:
Start Field 1B6E1B73
Track1 header 1B01
Length 08
Track1 data C5B07814954E3E2A
Track header 1B02
Length 05
Track2 data 2B8849EAAF
Track3 header 1B03
Length 05
Track3 data 2B8849EAAF
Ending Field 3F1C

If there is an Even Number of 1’s in the row of data for each character, put a 1 in the P column. Other wise, put a 0 in
the column.

LRC: If there is an Even Number of 1’s in the column of data for each character, put a 0 in the LRC row. Other wise,
put a 0 in the row. The last LRC will be considered as the parity rule of this row.
