MagTek Credit Card Readers

["Hemant Shimogi" <HShimogi@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

 

I represent WYSE Technology, Bangalore India. http://www.wyse.com

 

We have a customer using MagTek Swipe Credit Card readers with Linux. We have tested MagTek USB Credit Card Readers with part# 2104018 and part# 21040123 numbers. The data from the reader had missing characters and case of the letters was not consistent.

We have investigated the issue. This reader is a HID device and works as a keyboard. If we output the data on a console in case the X system is not started, the data is fully correct, but the data will be missing when we have X system running.

 

Please confirm whether the above devices have been tested and working with X.

 

Thanks,

Hemant Shimogi.
