I wanted to post this for others that wish to use swipe readers with Tessitura. It took a while for it to come together. Here is basics you need to know...
1. Return Track1 and Track2 (Turn off Track3)
2. Here is the output format...
%^LastName/FirstName^;CardNumber=ExpDateinYYMMformat(tab)(tab)= The tab character
3. The place you enter your swipe is in the pop-up Payment window in the "Account:" field. This will parse the data in the the Account, Exp Date and Name.
Need further help let me know.
Hi - we've just added a HP swipe reader keyboard and I'm wondering how to configure it to work with Tessitura. Do you know if there are steps for setting these up? Thanks Jus
