1.5 About APIs
MagTek provides convenient Application Programming Interface (API) libraries for some connection
types and development frameworks. These APIs wrap the details of the connection in an interface that
conceptually parallels the device’s internal operation, freeing developers from dealing with the details of
the connection, and allowing them to focus on software business logic. In cases where API libraries are
available, developers also have the option to revert to direct communication with the device using
libraries available in the chosen development framework. This document provides information and
support for the latter method. Information about using MagTek APIs is available in separate
documentation, including 99875394 DynaPro/IPAD Programmer’s Reference (.NET).
2 Connection Types
Table 1-1 above includes a list of connection types available for each device. The following subsections
provide details developers will need to communicate with the devices using each connection type.
2.1 How to Use USB Connections
The devices conform to the USB specification revision 2.0, and are compatible with revision 1.1. They
also conform to the Human Interface Device (HID) class specification version 1.1, and communicate as
vendor-defined HID devices. This document assumes the reader is familiar with USB HID class
specifications, which are available at www.usb.org.
Developers can easily create custom software using any framework that can make API calls to the
standard Windows USB HID driver, such as Visual Basic or Visual C++. MagTek has developed
