“Alt-num” approach. This means that, for example, when “A” is read, the scan codes
for pressing and holding “Alt” key while pressing “6” and “5” keys of the numerical
keypad consecutively are sent to the keyboard controller. Therefore, the data will not
be misinterpreted regardless of the keyboard layout.
ENABLE MSR TRACK 1
A tick in the check box enables the reading of track 1 data. Without this check,
the data of track 1 on the MSR will be ignored.
ENABLE MSR TRACK 2
A tick in the check box enables the reading of track 2 data. Without this check,
the data of track 2 on the MSR will be ignored.
ENABLE MSR TRACK 3
A tick in the check box enables the reading of track 3 data if the MSR reader is
a 3 track reader. Without this check, the data of track 3 on the MSR will be ignored.
MSR WILL SEND THE LEADING CODE

MSR TRACK 1 LEADING CODE
MSR TRACK 2 LEADING CODE
MSR TRACK 3 LEADING CODE
MSR ENDING CODE
Once the codes for the sentinels of each track are defined to be sent to the
keyboard controller, the leading codes for each start sentinels and the ending code for
the common end sentinel can be selected from a table of displayable characters with
ASCII code from 20h to 7Eh. Pressing each left/right button selects each code. The
