Inserting the CardTool
To insert the CardTool, align the unit with the Handspring expansion slot (see figure
1) and gradually insert the unit. It should insert smoothly until it makes contact with
the expansion slot stops. Do not force the unit into the expansion slot. If resistance
is significant, withdraw CardTool and ensure there are no foreign objects in the
expansion slot and that CardTool is properly aligned with the Visor expansion slot,
then try again.

CardVisor Application Installation
The CardVisor software is stored in the flash memory of the CardTool reader and
automatically launches after plugging in the CardTool reader into the handheld. A
welcome screen appears which instructs the user to press the Date Book button to
launch the main screen of CardVisor magnetic stripe application (shown below). If
the bar code reader cradle is installed, then pressing the Address Book button will
launch the bar code version of CardVisor.
It is VITAL to check the date and time displayed in the top right corner of the screen.
If the date is not correct, then the calculated age will be incorrect! To set the
date/time, click on the Applications Icon (looks like a small house in the graffiti area),
then click on the ‘Prefs’ icon. Tap on the box, which contains the date or time, and
then follow the prompts to change. Details also provided in the Handspring User
guide.

CardVisor III & IV Main Screen CardVisor I & II Main Screen
Main Screen Description
The main screen is where the magnetic card data and status is displayed after each
swipe. At the bottom of the screen is a dialog box where user messages such as
“Swipe Again” are displayed.
Swiping a Magnetic Card
1. With the CardVisor application running on the Handspring Visor, hold the unit in
your left hand (if you are a lefty, hold the unit in your right hand).
2. Using the other hand, hold the drivers license with the MagStripe facing towards
you and swipe the card towards your body. The above illustration is for a right-
handed person.
3. Ensure that the magnetic card’s edge remains in full contact with the base of the
card slot, swipe the card completely through the card slot.
4. It does not matter which way the card is swiped, but it is important that the card
is not skewed / tipped during the swipe. Skewing occurs if the card is tilted or
lifted as it is swiped through the slot.
5. The CardVisor age verification software will display the drivers license information
on the screen after a successful swipe and store the data in the Visor memo pad
application.
CardVisor Hardware Manual - Edge Page 7 of 32
Tip: Try a few practice swipes, hold the magnetic card in the center and maintain
pressure on the bottom edge of the card as it travels through the slot. Experiment
with the speed and orientation. Some find it easier to hold the Handspring Visor with
the screen facing left or right and swiping the card vertically through the card slot.
CardVisor Options Menu
The Options menu is used to configure the software. To access it, click on the Menu
Icon, just below the Application icon (small house in the graffiti area -see previous
diagram). Depending on the version of CardVisor software, there are three or four
items on the Options menu. The Reset option will re-initialize the CardTool hardware.
If the unit is not responding to a card swipe, try the reset option. If successful, the
“Swipe A Card” message will be displayed. If not, see the trouble shooting section in
this document.
Options Menu of CardVisor
CardVisor I and II do NOT have the
‘Test VIP/Banned Database’ item
Screen After Reset Command
The ‘About CardVisor’ displays information on the application and its developer. The
‘Age Threshold and Alarms’ item sets the age
thresholds for various alarm events, alarm sounds,
and display options. See the Age Threshold and Alarm
section in this document for additional details. The
‘Test VIP / Banned Database’ item is present in
CardVisor III & IV and should be run whenever a new
Banned/VIP database is loaded into the handheld.
What is the Graffiti Area?
The Graffiti writing area is divided into two parts: one
for writing letters, and one for writing numbers. The
little "abc" or "123" at the bottom corners of the
Graffiti writing area tell you where to write letters or
numbers. You can also tap the "abc" or "123" to
bring up the onscreen keyboard.
CardVisor Hardware Manual - Edge Page 8 of 32
Age Threshold and Alarms
The Age Threshold and Alarm screen configures at what age CardVisor will alarm at
and what alarm sound will be played. There are six sounds available for the under
18, under 19, under 20, under 21, and expired license conditions. After selecting a
new sound, CardVisor will play it before updating the display.
The Expired alarm may not be disabled, only the alarm sound may be changed. The
Happy Birthday song may be disabled by un-checking the check box. If checked, one
may select either the long or short version of the Happy Birthday. The Visual
indication of a birthday will be displayed on the main screen status line.
If the Age YYMMDD item is checked, then the age will be displayed in years months
and days. This allows one to see how close somebody’s birthday is and wish them a
pre-happy birthday. If un-checked, then the age is displayed just in years.
Memo Pad
Press the Memo Pad Button to see the stored license data. Tapping on each line will
provide a detailed view of the swiped license data. The driver's license data is
parsed and stored as Memos in MemoPad application (built-in Palm OS application)
under the CardVisor category. Shown below is a list of Parsed transactions on the
main MemoPad screen. On the right is the detailed data showing the following
parsed information; First, Middle, Last Name, Title (Jr., Sr., II, 3rd, etc.), Address, City,
State, Zip, Driver's License number (0213654424), Expiration date (YYYYMMDD),
Date of Birth YYYYMMDD of birth, Gender (M/F), the status of the swipe (OK, Under
18, Under 19, ID Expired, etc.), and the scan date & time. Also shown are the field
separator characters (^), used when importing the data into programs like Microsoft
ACCESS or Microsoft Excel.

parsed data
In addition to the parsed data, an unparsed record is also stored in the MemoPad
application under the RawData category. This provides a convenient method to cross
check the parsed information, provide technical feedback to TokenWorks and verify
additional fields from the driver's license..
Unparsed Data in
‘RawData’ Category
Individual Memo showing
unparsed data
Before a new Memo is stored in MemoPad, the last memo is compared to the new
pending Memo. If it is identical in every respect, including the date and time stamp,
then the new memo is not stored. If the new Memo differs in just the time, it is still
stored. This feature prevents redundant Memos for the same license swiped
repeatedly in succession.
Protecting ID Scanner Data
This feature should be used with caution as forgetting the PIN code will require
erasing all saved transaction data. Drivers License Transaction data records are
stored as Memos (in MemoPad application ) and are marked Private by the CardVisor
software. They may be hidden or masked by entering a user selected PIN code via
the security application (old fashion key icon on home screen). Shown below is
what the transaction data stored in MemoPad look like when masked or hidden.
CardVisor Hardware Manual - Edge Page 10 of 32
Transaction Data Visible Transaction Data Masked Transaction Data Hidden
To set the PIN code, select the Security Application (shown below) from the Home
screen. Then select Mask Records or Hide Records from the Current Privacy Menu.
Selecting either will prompt a Password or PIN code to be entered, which must then
be confirmed.
Security App.-lower right Select Show or Mask Enter Password
Note: If the PIN code or Password is forgotten, there is no way to recover it via the
standard security application. Resetting the Password will delete all the transaction
data. Use this feature with caution.
Confirm Password Mask Records Enabled Hide Records Enable
Note: This same PIN code can be to 'lock' the system so that turning it back on
requires the PIN code. See the Handspring User guide for using this feature. Again,
