Card Scanner Capture

Use this page to show WCONLINE support what your card reader sends when it reads your ID cards. Each institution encodes the ID number differently: padded with zeros, wrapped in start and end characters, or mixed with other card data. Scan a few cards here, pair each scan with the student’s ID number, and send the result to support so that card reader support can be configured for your cards. The file is for analysis only. It is not an import file and changes nothing in WCONLINE.

How to Use the Capture Tool

1. Plug in the card reader. It must emulate a keyboard and auto-submit, as described in Card Reader Support. Gather several ID cards whose ID numbers you know.
2. Type the ID number in Student ID. Add a name in Note if you want. Press Enter to move to Scan card.
3. Swipe or scan the card. The row is saved, a beep sounds (uncheck Sound to turn it off), and the cursor returns to Student ID.
4. Review the table. Rows flagged “Missing Student ID”, “No scan” or “Duplicate scan” need a look. Use Edit or Delete to fix them. Leave raw scans as the reader sent them.
5. Select Download CSV (or Copy) and send the file to support.
