Chapter 5 operations
The following operations can be carried out when the reader/writer is connected
to the computer or Terminal correctly.
1. Auto-check power up
The red, yellow and green indicators light at the same time when power is up or the
reset command is received, then go out after several seconds. Beeper beep once
represents pass of auto-check, or mistake occurs and the red indicator lights for long
time.
2. Read operation
The green indicator lights for long time when the reader/writer receives the read
command. The operator should face the trade mark and sweep the magnetic card or
4
bankbook through the card slot from right to left in the stable speed, on which the
magnetic strip faces the operator’s body. If reading is correct, the green indicator
goes out and the beeper beeps once. Otherwise the red indicator lights and the
beeper beep for three times.
3. Write operation
The yellow indicator lights for long time when the reader/writer receives the write
command. The operator should face the trademark card sweep the magnetic card or
savings account book through the card slot from right to left in the stable speed, on
which the magnetic strip faces the operator’s body. If reading is correct, the yellow
indicator goes out and the beeper beeps once, otherwise the yellow indicator goes
out, the red indicator lights and the beeper beeps for three times.

Chapter 7 Maintenance
The maintenance should be done in daily in order to ensure its reliable
operation.
The maintenance ways are the following:
1. Cleaning the magnetic head
Clean the head before the daily use or in the case of occurring mistakes in
reading/writing several times:
A. Sweep the dry cleaning card through the guide slot for 5-10 times, keeping
the felt face closing the magnetic head.
B. In the case of dirt head, moisten the felt face of the cleaning card with the
cleaning liquid or alcohol, then sweep the cleaning card through the guide slot for
several times keeping the felt face closing the magnetic head, then sweep the dry
cleaning card through the slot for several times.

2. Cleaning wheel of the Encoder
A. Moisten the cleaning card with the cleaning liquid or alcohol, sweep the
cleaning card through the slot for 10 times in general, keeping the felt face closing
the magnetic head.
B. Sweep the dry cleaning card through the slot for 2-3 times.
3. Cleaning the guide slot
A. Round the cleaning card with a piece of gauze, and put it on the edge of the
slot.
B. Put the card into the slot by the edge of the magnetic head, move the card
and clean both sides of the magnetic head, don’t touch the head.
C. Do not leave fibers of the gauze in the slot or on the head
Notes:
(1) PMRW-003 series magnetic card reader/writer exchanges the Information
with the host computer in the way of data package. The format of the data
package is the following: STX% 1st track data? 2nd track data ?+ 3rd track
7
data ? ETX BCC Where STX (02H) is the header flag of the data package;
ETX (03H) is the trailer flag; “%(25H)”, “;(3B)”,“+(2B)” is the start character
of 1st, 2nd, 3rd track respectively;“?(3FH)” is the end character of each track
data; BCC is the check byte of the package (NOR Sum) including ETX(03H)
except STX(02H).
(2) In read operation, each track data can be put into the data package only in the
correct reading and be transferred up to the host computer (the start and end
character of the corresponding track is added to the package), the operation
returns “NAK (15H)” when the reading for all three track data fails.
(3) In write operation, the host computer adds the start/end Character on the
corresponding track data, puts it into the data package and transfer down to
the reader/writer. If the write operation is correct, the written-in data are read
out and return to the host computer in the way of data package. If the write of
some track is mistaken, then the operation fails and returns “NAK (15H)”.
