Settings page

To start Read‑a‑Card minimised in the tool tray, rather than showing the Status tab, select
Select icon Start Read‑a‑Card hidden (in tooltray).

Note: The start Read‑a‑Card hidden feature is not available in trial mode.

Choose Select icon Ignore duplicate card presentations to enable the de‑dupe feature and set a time period during which duplicate cards will be ignored. By default this is enabled and the time period is set to 10 seconds. Deselect Deselect icon Ignore duplicate card presentations if this does not suit your application.

You can extend this by selecting Select icon Ignore duplicate card presentations over multiple readers. Then Read‑a‑Card will disregard duplicate card presentations across all readers connected to the computer, for the time period set.

The language dropdown box allows you to set the language you wish Read‑a‑Card to use. Alternative languages may only be available with certain types of software license.
