Reader Type tab

On the Reader Type tab you can limit which readers Read‑a‑Card monitors.

By default Read‑a‑Card monitors All supported PC/SC Contactless Card Readers. This can be changed to monitor card readers that use proprietary drivers or to select or ignore certain PC/SC readers.

Note: Read‑a‑Card can only detect readers that have been properly installed and are recognised by Windows.

If Selected PC/SC Contactless Card Readers is chosen, the dropdown menu will display currently detected readers, which can then be individually enabled or disabled.

Note: If readers do not have unique serial numbers then all readers of that type will be grouped, and can therefore only be enabled or disabled together. Readers that have unique serial numbers can be individually enabled or disabled.

Use the Find Readers button to refresh the dropdown list of detected card readers. You may need this if you connect or disconnect a reader while Read‑a‑Card is running.

Choosing Other proprietary interface readers allows specific non‑PC/SC readers to be used. You can normally select only one proprietary reader at a time.

Note: For GemTag X1010 IP readers you can Configure the port numbers and IP addresses of up to ten readers.
