We now have the swipe working on Windows but it isn't reading the card number and expiration date properly.
When we swipe the card it first displays a long string across the top of the window that represents all information on the card including number, name, expiration date, etc. Not good to have all this stuff displayed. Then POS appears to try and parse the string, but we end up with the wrong characters for the card number and get "Invalid Card Number." The POS terminal is from Touch Dynamics and is model FS 100. It has an ELO touch screen and the model number for the MSR is FS-MSR-LONG. I think it is a generic device. I cannot find separate manufacturer information for the MSR.
