Smart Card Readers.; 2 minutes to read; In this article. Readers are standard devices in a smart card system. They are controlled through drivers, and are introduced to and removed from the system through Plug and Play or through the Control Panel Devices item. Each reader must be defined for use by the smart card subsystem.

  • ACS develops and distributes a wide range of high quality pc-linked smart card readers, contact and contactless smart cards, mobile card reader. ACS Android Library is a collection of methods and functions allowing application developers to build smartcard based application in the Android platform. Advanced Card Systems Ltd.
  • Take any card you have that has a gold square 'chip' on the front and insert it face up in the slot; gold square end first. I did this with my Drivers Licence and my Qantas Club card. The task manager popped up saying 'Setting up device - Device 'Smart Card' is undergoing additional setup' and after a while it completed.

Thank you for your reply. I ended up using the MagTek Active X control within my application for now. It's limited to just two events - onload and onerror. I was looking into using POS.Net framework which was was more flexible but I couldn't get their events to perform what I needed it to perform. All of the examples and videos were aimed towards a Windows application vs. a Web application. I haven't ran across any articles or documentation noting that it was only Windows compliant so I contact the POS.Net team but no response to this day! The unfortunate thing with MagTek active X control is that any USB device is picked up as a potential card swipe reader. This causes a problem for me because I placed a notification on my application that tells the user if the application onload detects the card swiper or which I thought it wasa card swiper - but now I find that it detects any USB device. So that sucks. lol. I really want to move forward with using the POS.Net framework but I haven't been successful in that area either. :(
