Description

This enumeration defines the property identifiers for the properties that device drivers need to handle to be considered a barcode scanner or a magnetic strip reader (MSR).

Constants

IsEnabled

Indicates whether the device is enabled. An enabled device is expected to be powered on and fully functional. In a disabled state, the device is not expected to generate input and can be powered down. (Read/Write).

IsDisabledOnDataReceived

Indicates whether to disable the device after each scan event. This allows the hardware to enter an idle power-saving mode as frequently as possible. (Read/Write).

PowerState

Reports the current power state of the device.

BarcodeScannerIsDecodeDataEnabled

When set to TRUE, the driver must return decoded bar code data in the form of ScanDataLabel in addition to ScanData when raising a data received event. Decoded barcode data typically only contains data from the scanner with header information, scanner generated symbol character, and length identification removed. (Read/Write).

BarcodeScannerCapabilities

Contains information about what functionality the barcode scanner supports. For example, a barcode scanner may support imaging and standard power reporting but not statistics updating and reporting. For more information about the values for barcode capabilities, see PosBarcodeScannerCapabilitiesType. (Read-only).

BarcodeScannerSupportedSymbologies

Contains an array representing the complete list of symbologies that the barcode scanner is capable of reading. Also returns the number of bytes required for the array of symbologies. For symbology definitions, see BarcodeSymbology. (Read-only).

BarcodeScannerActiveSymbologies

Indicates the symbologies that the barcode scanner is actively handling. (Write-only). For symbology definitions, see BarcodeSymbology.

BarcodeScannerSupportedProfiles

Returns the list of supported driver-defined device configuration profiles. (Read-only).

BarcodeScannerActiveProfile

Sets the active device configuration profile. Configure the driver using one of the driver- or manufacturer-defined profiles in the list returned by the BarcodeScannerSupportedProfiles property. (Write-Only). For example, you may have one profile for warehouse staff and another profile for the sales department. Each profile is expected to configure the device based on the driver or manufacturer definition.

MagneticStripeReaderIsDecodeDataEnabled

Indicates whether to provide raw or decoded data from the most recently swiped card. If decoded data is provided to the application, set to true; otherwise, set to false. (Read/write).

MagneticStripeReaderCapabilities

Returns a PosMagneticStripeReaderCapabilitiesType that describes the capabilities of the MSR. (Read-Only).

MagneticStripeReaderSupportedCardTypes

Returns an array of MsrCardTypes supported by the MSR. (Read-only).

MagneticStripeReaderDeviceAuthenticationProtocol

The driver must return a MsrAuthenticationProtocolType that describes the device authentication protocol supported by the MSR. (Read-only).

MagneticStripeReaderErrorReportingType

Specifies the level of error reporting that the MSR supports. For more information about the values for error reporting levels, see MsrErrorReportingType. (Read/write).

MagneticStripeReaderTracksToRead

Specifies which tracks the application will receive following a card swipe. Does not indicate the capability of the device hardware; instead, it is an application-configurable property representing the tracks to be read. For more information about track values, see MsrTrackIds. (Read/write).

MagneticStripeReaderIsTransmitSentinelsEnabled

Indicates whether the track data contains start and end sentinel values. (Read/write).

MagneticStripeReaderIsDeviceAuthenticated

Indicates whether the device is authenticated. (Read-only).

MagneticStripeReaderDataEncryptionAlgorithm

Specifies the MsrDataEncryption that will be used to encrypt the track data. (Read/write).

BarcodeScannerVideoDeviceId

Defines the BarcodeScannerVideoDeviceId constant.
