The XCP204B Card Reader Logon DLL supports cash cards, units cards and PIN cards. The DLL does not support cash escrow (cash/coin reader balance). The PHAROS Station calculates unit use according to the number of sheets used in the print job: one unit equals one sheet. The actual cost of the print job per sheet is immaterial to the system.

 

The card Access code is returned for cash and unit cards along with their balance. The PIN card returns the PIN number and a zero balance.
