Magnetc Stripe Reader Issue in Motorola MC65 device

Question

I have an issue with Magnet Stripe Reader in Motorola MC 65 ( OS : Windows Mobile ). If I try to open the Reader, I'm getting an exception of MSR_Open MSR_Err_OpenFailure.

Code:

Symbol.MagStripe.Device MyDevice = new Symbol.MagStripe.Device(myDiv.DeviceName);
this.MyReader = new Symbol.MagStripe.Reader(MyDevice);
this.MyReader.Actions.Enable();

Stack Trace:

Symbol.magstripe.magstripe Marshal.open(stringsdevicename, stringsportname) at
Symbol.magstrip.actions.enable() at
Ecollect.ecscancardcf.start read()

Answer 1

Make sure that the plug is in properly and blow on it

Answer 2

Are you deploying the Symbol/Motorola/Zebra library in your device. I had the same situation, you need install the proper library. Is a good idea to have a troubleshoot functionality, to test all the attached devices.
