RS232 Integrated MCRW
DESCRIPTION
The Integrated Motorised Card Reader Writer (IMCRW) is capable of
supporting all current financial card technologies, both Magnetic and Smart
(excluding Watermark) and has the flexibility to be able to interface with new
financial card technologies, as they develop.
The illustration above shows the IMCRW fitted with the latch fast card
capture bin.
The IMCRW is held on its baseplate by capstan studs and retained by a
single screw. The following illustration identifies the main components.

RS232 INTEGRATED MCRW
Available variants of the IMCRW are as follows:
Track 2 - Read Only
Track 1/2/3 - Track 1/2 Read, Track 3 Read/Write
3 Track - Track 1/2/3 Read/Write (HiCo).
The above variants are available in the following configurations:
With or without Smart Card Reader
With Standard Throat or High Security Throat
With or without Card Return On Power Fail and/or System Escape
(CROPF/SE)
With or without MEI (in throat).
The following options are available on Track 1/2/3 readers (Germany
only):
Card Identification Module (CIM)
MM Security Module.
RS232 COMMUNICATION
Communication between the IMCRW and the PC Core is via an RS232
hardware and software interface. This interface controls the operation of the
IMCRW to perform the functions specified by each command; reporting back
success, or failure, to the application program.
IMCRW FIRMWARE
The IMCRW firmware contains code for all current software and hardware
features, such that if the hardware is available and is “switched on” by the
software, it will automatically operate.
On start-up, the IMCRW compares a downloadable software component
on the ATMs hard drive to its on-board firmware and automatically performs
the download if a difference is found.

RS232 INTEGRATED MCRW
CARD DETECTION AND PRE-HEAD DETECTION
Control of the IMCRW shutter is by means of a microswitch which detects the
physical presence and width of a card in the entry position and a pre-head
detection feature which detects the presence of a magnetic stripe on the card.
When the microswitch is activated and the pre-head detector recognizes a
magnetic stripe a signal is applied to the shutter solenoid to open the shutter
and permit the card to enter the IMCRW.
CARD TRANSPORT
Movement of the card in the IMCRW transport, and eject and capture
instructions, are controlled by the IMCRW firmware in response to commands
from the host application.
CARD RETURN/CAPTURE
Under normal conditions, when the card is presented to the user at the end of
a transaction, the card will protrude a minimum of 25mm (except for warped
cards) from the throat of the IMCRW. From this position, the card can still be
captured by the IMCRW.
SECURITY - LONG & SHORT CARD DETECTION
The IMCRW automatically detects long or short cards and notifies the host
that an abnormal card has been inserted into the IMCRW. Abnormal cards
are ejected immediately and can not enter the reader.
READING AND WRITING TO MAGNETIC STRIPE CARDS
The IMCRW is equipped with four analogue methods of reading the magnetic
track and, in the event of a read error, will try a total of five times to read the
card.
Digital Decoding
A digital method of reading poor quality cards is included in the IMCRW. The
customer’s application has to be specially written to select digital decoding. If
this is enabled, the card read time will be longer because of the extra cycle
which occurs after the analogue read attempts.
Writing Magnetic Data
The Track 1/2/3 Read/Write (HiCo) IMCRW has two write currents (High-co
and Low-co). The appropriate current is set by the IMCRW using HiCoLoCo
software detection. In the event of a write error verified by a read after write,
the IMCRW will attempt a further two times to write to the card and to verify
the result using the read methods mentioned above.
If the card is written and verified on the first or second attempt, it is
considered to meet ISO Standard. However, if the card is written and verified
only on the third write/read attempt, the card does not meet ISO Standard
and is rejected.

RS232 INTEGRATED MCRW
READING AND WRITING TO SMART CARDS
When a Smart Card IC Contact Block is fitted, the card is moved to the “Set”
position (PDI in the above illustration), the contact block lowered and Power
(VCC), Clock (CLK) and Reset (RST) applied. The ATR chip data from a
successful read is sent to the host. Any excess current on VCC while the Smart
card is activated will result in an error signal being generated.
IMCRWs with the Smart facility permit reading and writing to Smart
cards with contacts in the ISO position and are provided with the electrical
interface to one SAM card mounted on the IC and SAM1 Contact Block.
Smart Card Standards
The IMCRW with Smart Card facility complies with the following Smart card
standards:
EMV - Europay, Mastercard and Visa
GIECB - Carte Bancaire
ZKA - German Banking Organisation
Latest version of ISO 7816 part 3 and 4
Memory Cards (For example: GPM896 & Siemens 4442 as supported by
ICM300)
Hardware and software facilities are provided on the IMCRW for the
future introduction of Contactless Smart Cards, Proximity Card and multiple
SAM slots for CEPS (Common Electronic Purse Scheme).

OPTIONS
CARD RETURN ON POWER FAILURE OR SYSTEM ESCAPE
Card Return on Power Failure (CROPF) and Card Return on System Escape
(CROSE) are provided as one optional feature on the IMCRW. The combined
feature is referred to as CROPF/SE.
CROPF Battery
The CROPF option is provided with a re-chargeable battery located on the
baseplate below the IMCRW.
The CROPF circuit is contained on the Base PCB and the battery plugs
into connector J11 on that pcb. The battery is attached to the baseplate by two
cable ties that have to be cut if the battery is to be renewed. When fitting new
cable ties, the fastening end should be kept under the raised part of the
baseplate so that it doesn’t interfere with the seating of the IMCRW.
CROPF Operation
In the event of a power failure the battery will provide the power necessary to
complete the present magnetic or smart card transaction and then attempt to
return the card to the input slot and offer it to the user for recovery. If the user
does not take the card within 30 seconds, the card will be captured. If a card
jams during a CROPF operation, sufficient battery power is provided for three
attempts to clear the jam and present the card to the user, or capture the card,
if not taken.
CROSE
In the event of a System Escape command being generated, while a card is in
the IMCRW, the CROSE firmware will determine whether or not the Escape
command was generated due to a power up situation. If not, the card is
presented to the user. If the user does not take the card within 30 seconds, the
card will be captured. In the event of an Escape command being generated
following a prolonged shutdown period, any card in the IMCRW will not be
moved to the entry slot. Instead, the card will be captured.

RS232 INTEGRATED MCRW
LATCHFAST CARD CAPTURE
A Latch Fast Card Capture (LFCC) bin with electronic tamper indication is
provided as an option with the IMCRW. The tamper indication system is
automatically set up when hardware interrogation reports the presence of the
LFCC harness to the device firmware. A microswitch on the bin cradle detects
the presence of the bin. In the event of Card Capture command being
generated when a card is in the IMCRW, the LFCC system will check that the
LFCC bin is present before depositing the card in the bin.
A photodetector on the bin cradle looks through holes in the sides of the
bin at an LED attached to the other side of the cradle. If the beam between the
photodetector and LED is broken by the cards stacking up from the base of the
bin this indicates a FULL SOON condition. A count is started in software, and
incremented for each card captured. Whenever the count reaches 12 cards a
FULL signal is sent by the LFCC to the host and the IMCRW is made
inoperable with a severity of FATAL.
The tamper switch on the LFCC bin detects any attempt to remove the bin
from the IMCRW, unless the ATM is in Supervisor mode.
Once the bin is removed, the cradle can be unclipped from the lugs in the
base by squeezing the sides inwards.

RS232 INTEGRATED MCRW
CIM/MM VALIDATION
An optional CIM86/MM optical detection and identification feature can be
fitted to the IMCRW enabling reading of the card optical track using an
optical head reader and either CIM86 or MM technologies.
The CIM 86 PCB is located in a metal box on the top of the IMCRW with
the optical detector located above the card transport path. The metal box and
optical detector are screwed to a bracket that hooks under the rear cross tie of
the IMCRW and is secured by a single screw (shown in the above illustration).
If an MM PCB is fitted (Germany, Austria & Switzerland), it is located in

RS232 INTEGRATED MCRW
the ATM safe and connected to the IMCRW via a current loop to an RS232
interface board and an RS232 interface. The successful correlation between
the optical and Track 3 magnetic track of the card confirms the authenticity of
the card, otherwise the card is rejected.
When CIM86/MM is enabled and all magnetic tracks have been read
successfully, the card is moved to the front position, with the shutter open. In
this position the card doesn’t protrude from the throat. The CIM86/MM
optical head is enabled and the card driven back into the card reader and
Track 3 read.
MEDIA ENTRY INDICATORS
Media Entry Indicator (MEI) printed circuit boards and green indicators
located inside the plastic moulding of the throat of the IMCRW are available.
The MEI indicators may be selected by the application to be on continuously
or to be flashed at a frequency of 0.25Hz, 0.5Hz, 1Hz, 2Hz, or 4Hz.
Location of MEIs
The top MEIs are accessed by unclipping the tangs (at both sides) holding the
top cover to the top of the throat, and lifting off the cover. The MEI pcb is
slotted into grooves beneath this cover and lifts out. The top cover will be
either made of plastic or spring steel, as shown in the illustration below.
NOTE: Check, when replacing the top spring metal cover, that the extension
arm makes good gounding contact with the metal surface of the IMCRW
above the throat.

LEVEL 0 DIAGNOSTICS
Level 0 diagnostic tests run on the IMCRW Base Board at start-up. The tests
run in either of two modes determined by the setting on the diagnostic
switchpack on the board. The location of the switchpack is shown in the
illustration below:
The two diagnostic modes are:
Normal boot-up, (POST) mode) - all switches off - five tests execute once
without repeat (see table below)
Selected Test mode - switchpack set to test number - selected test runs
until the unit receives a reset.

TEST REPORTING
Two LEDs on the Base Board, one red (LD1) and one green (LD2) report the
progress of level 0 diagnostics.
The notes below and the accompanying flowchart, and timing diagrams
explain how the LEDs are used.
Note
1
At power on, both LEDs are on. The green LED remains on during boot
up, while the red LED only remains on for 100 ms.
2
If there is no user code in Flash ROM (FROM) the card reader must wait
for a host download. During this time the red light remains off while the
green LED flashes (on 500 ms, off 500 ms).
3
During initial power on any test number set on the switches is ignored
except if set for the "Clear FROM" test and, in this case, the test is performed.
4
During execution of the Clear FROM test the red LED flashes at a rate of
0.5 Hz and the green LED is off. This test can take up to 10 seconds to
complete, after which the LEDs report the test result. A pass is shown by
a flashing red LED with the green LED on. A fail is shown by the red LED
on constantly with the green LED flashing at 0.5 Hz. At this stage the
LEDs are unable to flash the test and failure codes described below.
5
During all other selected tests the red LED flashes at 0.5 Hz and the
green LED reports the test result.
6
The IMCRW performs the Power On Self Tests (POST) as listed in the
section "Switch Settings". If the IMCRW fails during POST, then the red
LED is lit constantly and the green LED flashes a sequence to indicate a
failure (See "Test Results").
7
If boot up completes normally (that is, the IMCRW runs user code), then
both LEDs are turned off. During normal operation no LED s should be on.
8
CROSE/CROPF:
a) All CROSE/CROPF code is resident in user area @ address XXXX
with own checksum.
b) "bCROSE_inhibit" is a global flag set by NCR through API command. If
"bCROSE_inhibit" is True, the IMCRW should not perform the CROSE
cycle (that is, no card movement).
c) Sankyo library should complete any Smart card transaction or mag
card write transaction, before carrying out CROSE or CROPF.
d) No response is required for the host, because in both cases the host is
no longer present. Once the transaction (Smart card or mag card) is complete, NCR tasks cease to exist.
9
If the switches have illegal settings, both the red and green LEDs flash at
a constant rate of 3 Hz.
10
During download to FROM, the red and green LEDs flash together at 0.5
Hz

RS232 INTEGRATED MCRW
LEVEL 1 DIAGNOSTICS
The diagnostic tests offered depend on the type of Magnetic Card Reader/
Writer and associated modules configured in the SSFT.
The modules in the following list may be replaced and emulated by the
RS232 Integrated MCRW (IMCRW). The IMCRW provides all the functions of
the MCRW except Watermark. If an IMCRW is used to replace a Watermark
MCRW then the Level 1 tests for the Watermark feature will not be available.
The tests are described under the following headings:
MCR/MCRW, including:
Track 1, 2, 3 MCRW
MCR Track 2
LFCC bin
CROPF
3 Track Write
3 Track Write HiCo
MCR/MCRW Tamper Indicator
Smart Card Reader/Writer, including
EMV SCRW and EMV SCIF
Card Identification Module (CIM 86)
MM MCRW.
NOTE: Because the IMCRW is an RS-232 device, the SDC Turnaround test
is not performed. Also no RS-232 Turnaround Test is performed
In the following sections, where the test performed by the IMCRW is
different from the named card reader/writer, this is pointed out.
MCR/MCRW
The MCR/MCRW diagnostics tests offered will depend on the configuration of
the terminal:
MCR Track 2 or MCRW Track 1, 2, 3
If three track write MCRW is configured/3 Track write HiCo
If the CROPF module is fitted
If the LFCC bin is configured.
HiCo MCRW Write Operations
For the 3 track write HiCo MCRW the outcome of a write function is
determined by the MCRW mode of operation as follows:
ENABLE HICO FUNCTION = 0 (write LoCo only)
ENABLE HICO FUNCTION = 1 (LoCo/HiCo detect)
ENABLE HICO FUNCTION = 2 (always write HiCo).
NOTE: Customer Service personnel should verify which of the three modes
of operation the Financial Institution Application is currently set to before
performing diagnostic tests which involve writing to cards. This
information is provided by the Financial Institution Application
developer/Professional Services, managed by the Customer and retained
on site.

seconds of selecting this test otherwise the test times out.
READ ISO TRACK 1 (Track 123 MCRW, 3 Track Write and HiCo)
The READ ISO TRACK 1 test reads and displays the track 1 data, including
start and end sentinels. Data read up to any detected error will also be
displayed.
READ ISO TRACK 2
The READ ISO TRACK 2 test reads and displays track 2 data, including start
and end sentinels. Data read up to any detected error will also be displayed.
READ ISO TRACK 3 (Track 123 MCRW, 3 Track Write and HiCo)
The READ ISO TRACK 3 test reads and displays track 3 data, including start
and end sentinels. Data read up to any detected error will also be displayed.
WRITE ISO TRACK 3 (Track 123 MCRW, 3 Track Write and HiCo)
The WRITE ISO TRACK 3 test (see para HiCo MCRW Write Operations
above):
Performs a read of ISO track 3 and, if successful, stores the track data
Performs a write to ISO track 3 of two different test patterns (see “Test
Patterns”) of 104 characters. If the first write is unsuccessful then the second write is not attempted. Two test patterns are necessary to ensure that
the write capability is operational
If the read and writes were successful, the stored track data is rewritten
onto track 3 of the card.
NOTE: If a read or write error occurs during this test, track 3 of the card
may be corrupted.
Test Patterns
The first test pattern is all ASCII zeros and the second test pattern is
0123456789= repeated until the track is filled (104 characters).

EJECT
The EJECT test returns the card to the entry slot of the MCRW for removal.
CAPTURE
The CAPTURE test moves the card through the MCRW to the capture bin.
SPEED
The SPEED test checks that the MCRW is running at the correct speed. The
special speed card, NCR Part No. 009-0003479, required for this test, must be
in the MCRW when the test is initiated.
The SPEED test is not performed on the IMCRW and later models of VE
card readers where speed is controlled automatically. In these cases a Good
response is always returned.
SHUTTER/SENSOR
The SHUTTER/SENSOR test opens and closes the shutter, checking both the
shutter and switch for correct operation. This test also reports the static state
of the sensors.
RELAY AND BATTERY
The RELAY AND BATTERY test, switches the back-up battery relay in and
out of the CROPF circuit, checking the relay for correct operation and
reporting the integrity of the battery.
On the IMCRW, this test does not exercise the relay but returns M-DATA
indicating battery and CROPF circuit condition.
CLEANING CYCLE
The CLEANING CYCLE test opens the shutter to accept a cleaning card,
cycles the card five times, ejects the card and then closes the shutter. The test
times out if a card is not inserted within 10 seconds.
NOTE: Any card not taken when ejected will be captured.
SDC TURNAROUND (Not IMCRW)
The SDC TURNAROUND test carries out a turnaround test between the SDC
service and the module.

CONFIDENCE
The Track 123 MCRW CONFIDENCE test has the following steps:
1. The MCRW is enabled to accept a card. If this fails then the status message is displayed and the test jumps to step 9. If a card is already present
in the reader then it is captured, with a status message to that effect displayed. and the test is restarted. If a card that is already present cannot
be captured then a status message is displayed and the test is terminated.
2. You are prompted to enter a card and given 10 seconds to do so. If a card is
not detected, a status message is displayed and the test jumps to step 9.
3. A “Card Detected” message is displayed.
4. Tracks 1, 2, and 3 are read, any errors are reported and the test continues.
An error reading track 3 causes the track 3 write test to be omitted.
5. The track 3 write test is performed (if the read was successful). The existing data is saved and two different data patterns are written to the card. If
these are successful then the original track data is restored. If an error is
detected at any stage then a status message is displayed and the test continues.
6. The card is rejected and you are prompted to remove it, and given 10 seconds to do so. If the eject fails, the status message is displayed and the test
jumps to step 9. Also, if the card is removed the test jumps to step 9.
7. If the card is not taken a card capture is attempted. If this fails then a status message is displayed and the test jumps to step 9.

9. A shutter test is always performed and a status message is displayed if it
fails.
10. If the CROPF feature is configured then a CROPF Battery and Relay test
is performed. If this test fails a status message is displayed.
The steps in the Track 2 MCR Confidence Test are the same as those
above except that only Track 2 is read and the Track 3 write test (step 5) is
omitted.
3-TRACK WRITE MCRW
The following additional tests are offered on a 3-Track Write MCRW:
WRITE BUFFER/TRACK 1, 2, or 3
The WRITE BUFFER/TRACK 1, 2, or 3 tests (see “HiCo MCRW Write
Operations” above):
Read and save data from the specified track
Write a first test pattern to the appropriate buffer
Write the test pattern, from the buffer, on to the specified track
Check for good responses and then write a second test pattern to the track
in the same way
Check for good responses and that the original data was saved successfully, then write the original track data back to the card.
NOTE: If a write error occurs during this test, the specified track may be
corrupted.
Test Pattern
The first test pattern is all ASCII zeros and the second test pattern is
0123456789=ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ for Track 1, and 0123456789=
for Tracks 2 and 3, repeated to a maximum length as follows:
76 characters for Track 1
37 characters for Track 2
104 characters for Track 3.
WRITE BUFFERS/TRACKS
In the WRITE BUFFERS/TRACKS test the data from all three tracks is read
and saved. The first test pattern of ASCII zeros is written (see “HiCo MCRW
Write Operations” above) to all three buffers and then written to all three
tracks simultaneously. The second test pattern (as above) is written to all
three buffers and then written to all three tracks simultaneously. Finally the
original track data is written back to the card. Only the track data that was
successfully saved is written back to the card.
CONFIDENCE
The CONFIDENCE test for the 3-track Write MCRW is the same as the
WRITE BUFFERS/TRACKS test. You are informed of any Read Track, Write
Buffer, or Write Card command fails.

SMART CARD STAGE
The SMART CARD STAGE test moves the card from the MCRW transport
into the SCRW and brings the contacts down on to the card.
SMART CARD RESET
The SMART CARD RESET applies power to the card under the contacts and
the “Answer To Reset” message is read from the card. The card is then
powered off.
SMART CARD RELEASE
The SMART CARD RELEASE test raises the card contacts and moves the
card out of the SCRW back into the MCRW transport.
INITIALIZE SCIF
The INITIALIZE SCIF test causes the SCIF board to switch into SCRW mode
and toggle the SCIF reset line. Power is removed from any card present and
the smart card contacts and stopper pin solenoids are de-energized. The SCIF
board switches to MCRW mode.
SCIF SOLENOID
The SCIF SOLENOID test activates the SCRW stopper pin and contact
solenoids.
NOTE: 1. The card should not be in the SCRW when this test is selected.
