PaperCut MF output differs from Reader Tool

Sometimes is the output from a Spider conected to a MFP with PaperCut MF installed different then the output when the Spider is connected to a PC.

E.g. this number 5d2a619a is written in Notepad when the Spider is connected to the PC, But PaperCut MF sees it like 3564326136313961.


A setting in PaperCut is available to read out the number correctly.

Solution is: In PaperCut go to: PaperCut > Devices > Select Printer > Advanced Config. Add or Change the following setting: "ext-device.card-no-converter" with the value "ascii-enc". (Screenshot shows another value)
