Configuring the Check Reader Device Service

The Check Reader Device service settings must be defined with an XML tag in the toolkit services definition file. The following is an example tag that defines a Check Reader Device Service with typical values:
<CheckReader id="checkReader" port="1" baudRate="9600" 
    dataBits="7" stopBits="1" parity="even" timeout="11000" 
    checkLink="no" trace="no" reset="yes" />

The port, baudRate, dataBits, stopBits, and parity attributes are used to select and configure the communications port. The timeout, checkLink and reset attributes are set according to the characteristics of the particular device and its connection to the port. The trace attribute is used to enable a byte level trace of the device communications.
