MTSCRA Class Methods - 51 - 60
getTrackDecodeStatus
Retrieves track decode status. This is a one-byte value, which indicates the status of decoding track 1. Bit position zero indicates if there was an error decoding track 1 if the bit is set to one. If it is zero, then no error occurred. If a track has data on it that is not noise, and it is not decodable, then a decode error is indicated. If a decode error is indicated, the corresponding track data length value for the track that has the error will be set to zero and no valid track data will be supplied.
public String getTrackDecodeStatus()
Parameters: None Return Value:Track Decode Status. Consists of three 2-byte hex values representing the decode status for tracks 1, 2, and 3 (respectively from left to right). Values are:
00 = Track OK
01 = Track read Error
02 = Track is Blank
getSDKVersion
Retrieves SDK version.
public String getSDKVersion()Parameters: None
Return Value:
The version information of the SDK.
sendCommandToDevice
Send command to device.
public int sendCommandToDevice(String command)Parameters:
Parameter
Description
command
Command string to send to the device.
Return Value:
0 = Success
9 = Error
15 = Busy
startTransaction (EMV Device Only)
This function starts an EMV L2 transaction.
Parameters:
Parameter
Description
timeLimit
Specifies the maximum time, in seconds, allowed to complete the total transaction. This includes time for the user to insert the card, choose a language, choose an application, and online processing. If this time is exceeded, the transaction will be aborted and an appropriate Transaction Status will be available. Value 0 is not allowed.
cardType
Card Type to Read:
0x01 = Magnetic Stripe (as alternative to EMV L2, card swipe causes abort of EMV L2)
0x02 = Contact smart card 0x04 = Contactless smart card
Note: Multiple Card Types can be selected, for example: Set this byte to 3 to read both Magnetic Stripe and Contact Smart Card.
option
0x00 = Normal 0x01 = Bypass PIN 0x02 = Force Online
0x04 = Acquirer not available (Note: prevents long timeout on waiting for host approval) (causes “decline” to be generated internally if ARQC is generated)
To use Quick Chip mode, set the most significant bit to ‘1’. 0x80 = Quick Chip, Normal
0x81 = Quick Chip, Bypass PIN 0x82 = Quick Chip, Force Online
amount
Amount Authorized (EMV Tag 9F02, format n12, 6 bytes) in hex string
For example: “000000000999”, means 9.99 dollars.
Parameter
Description
transactionType
Valid values:
0x00 = Purchase (listed as “Payment” on ICS)
0x01 = Cash Advance (not supported for this reader)
0x02 or 0x09 = Cash back (0x09 not supported, contactless) 0x04 = Goods (Purchase)
0x08 = Services (Purchase)
0x10 = International Goods (Purchase) 0x20 = Refund
0x40 = International Cash Advance or Cash Back 0x80 = Domestic Cash Advance or Cash Back
cashBack
Cash back Amount (if non-zero, EMV Tag 9F03, format n12, 6 bytes) in hex string.
For example: “000000001000”, means 10.00 dollars.
currencyCode
Transaction Currency Code (EMV Tag 5F2A, format n4, 2 bytes) Sample Valid values:
0x0840 – US Dollar 0x0978 – Euro 0x0826 – UK Pound
reportingOption
This single byte field indicates the level of Transaction Status notifications the host desires to receive during the course of this transaction.
0x00 = Termination Status only (normal termination, card error, timeout, host cancel)
0x01 = Major Status changes (terminations plus card insertions and waiting on user)
0x02 = All Status changes (documents the entire transaction flow)
Return Value:
0 = Success
9 = Error
15 = Busy
setUserSelectionResult (EMV Device Only)
This function sets the user selection result. It should be called after receiving the OnUserSelectRequest event which is triggered after the user makes a selection.
Parameters:
Parameter
Description
status
Indicates the status of User Selection:
0x00 – User Selection Request completed, see Selection Result
0x01 – User Selection Request aborted, cancelled by user
0x02 – User Selection Request aborted, timeout
selection
Indicates the menu item selected by the user. This is a single byte zero based binary value.
Return Value:
0 = Success
9 = Error
15 = Busy
setAcquirerResponse (EMV Device Only)
This function informs EMV device to process transaction decision from acquirer.
Parameters:
Parameter
Description
response
The first two bytes (most significant byte first) indicate the total length of the following byte array. The byte array contains the ARQC Response message. For details about the ARQC response, see the Programmer's Manual (COMMANDS) for the specific device you are communicating with.
Return Value:
0 = Success
9 = Error
15 = Busy
cancelTransaction (EMV Device Only)
This function cancels a transaction while waiting for the user to insert a card.
Parameters: None Return Value:
0 = Success
9 = Error
15 = Busy
sendExtendedCommand (EMV Device Only)
Send extended command to device.
Parameters:
Parameter
Description
command
Hexadecimal string of the byte array for the extended command.
The first two bytes represent the value of the extended command.
The next two bytes (most significant byte first) indicate the total length the following data in bytes.
Return Value:
0 = Success
9 = Error
15 = Busy
getDeviceFeatures()
Retrieves features for the device.
Parameters: None
Return Value:
getPowerManagementValue()
Retrieves power management value for the device.
Parameters: None
