1. Introduction
1.1 Background to Release 3.50
The CEN/XFS Workshop aims to promote a clear and unambiguous specification defining a multi-vendor software
interface to financial peripheral devices. The XFS (eXtensions for Financial Services) specifications are developed
within the CEN (European Committee for Standardization/Information Society Standardization System) Workshop
environment. CEN Workshops aim to arrive at a European consensus on an issue that can be published as a CEN
Workshop Agreement (CWA).
The CEN/XFS Workshop encourages the participation of both banks and vendors in the deliberations required to
create an industry standard. The CEN/XFS Workshop achieves its goals by focused sub-groups working
electronically and meeting quarterly.
Release 3.50 of the XFS specification is based on a C API and is delivered with the continued promise for the
protection of technical investment for existing applications. This release of the specification extends the
functionality and capabilities of the existing devices covered by the specification:
• Addition of E2E security
• PIN Password Entry
1.2 XFS Service-Specific Programming
The service classes are defined by their service-specific commands and the associated data structures, error codes,
messages, etc. These commands are used to request functions that are specific to one or more classes of Service
Providers, but not all of them, and therefore are not included in the common API for basic or administration
functions.
When a service-specific command is common among two or more classes of Service Providers, the syntax of the
command is as similar as possible across all services, since a major objective of XFS is to standardize function
codes and structures for the broadest variety of services. For example, using the WFSExecute function, the
commands to read data from various services are as similar as possible to each other in their syntax and data
structures.
In general, the specific command set for a service class is defined as a superset of the specific capabilities likely to
be provided by the developers of the services of that class; thus any particular device will normally support only a
subset of the defined command set.
There are three cases in which a Service Provider may receive a service-specific command that it does not support:
The requested capability is defined for the class of Service Providers by the XFS specification, the particular vendor
implementation of that service does not support it, and the unsupported capability is not considered to be
fundamental to the service. In this case, the Service Provider returns a successful completion, but does no operation.
An example would be a request from an application to turn on a control indicator on a passbook printer; the Service
Provider recognizes the command, but since the passbook printer it is managing does not include that indicator, the
Service Provider does no operation and returns a successful completion to the application.
The requested capability is defined for the class of Service Providers by the XFS specification, the particular vendor
implementation of that service does not support it, and the unsupported capability is considered to be fundamental
to the service. In this case, a WFS_ERR_UNSUPP_COMMAND error for Execute commands or
WFS_ERR_UNSUPP_CATEGORY error for Info commands is returned to the calling application. An example
would be a request from an application to a cash dispenser to retract items where the dispenser hardware does not
have that capability; the Service Provider recognizes the command but, since the cash dispenser it is managing is
unable to fulfil the request, returns this error.
The requested capability is not defined for the class of Service Providers by the XFS specification. In this case, a
WFS_ERR_INVALID_COMMAND error for Execute commands or WFS_ERR_INVALID_CATEGORY error
for Info commands is returned to the calling application.
This design allows implementation of applications that can be used with a range of services that provide differing
subsets of the functionalities that are defined for their service class. Applications may use the WFSGetInfo and
WFSAsyncGetInfo commands to inquire about the capabilities of the service they are about to use, and modify
their behavior accordingly, or they may use functions and then deal with error returns to make decisions as to how
to use the service.

2. Check Readers and Scanners
This specification describes the XFS service class of check readers and scanners. Check image scanners are treated
as a special case of check readers, i.e. image-enabled instances of the latter. This class includes devices with a range
of features, from small hand-held read-only devices through which checks are manually swiped one at a time, to
desktop units which automatically feed the check one at a time; recording the MICR data and check image, and
endorse or encode the check. The specification of this service class includes definitions of the service-specific
commands that can be issued, using the WFSAsyncExecute, WFSExecute, WFSGetInfo and WFSAsyncGetInfo
functions.
In the U.S., checks are always encoded in magnetic ink for reading by Magnetic Ink Character Recognition
(MICR), and a single font is always used. In Europe some countries use MICR and some use Optical Character
Recognition (OCR) character sets, with different fonts, for their checks.
In all countries, typical fields found encoded on a check include the bank ID number and the account number. Part
of the processing done by the bank is to also encode the amount on the check, usually done by having an operator
enter the handwritten or typewritten face amount on a numeric keypad.
This service class is currently defined only for attended branch service.

1. Introduction
1.1 Background to Release 3.50
The CEN/XFS Workshop aims to promote a clear and unambiguous specification defining a multi-vendor software
interface to financial peripheral devices. The XFS (eXtensions for Financial Services) specifications are developed
within the CEN (European Committee for Standardization/Information Society Standardization System) Workshop
environment. CEN Workshops aim to arrive at a European consensus on an issue that can be published as a CEN
Workshop Agreement (CWA).
The CEN/XFS Workshop encourages the participation of both banks and vendors in the deliberations required to
create an industry standard. The CEN/XFS Workshop achieves its goals by focused sub-groups working
electronically and meeting quarterly.
Release 3.50 of the XFS specification is based on a C API and is delivered with the continued promise for the
protection of technical investment for existing applications. This release of the specification extends the
functionality and capabilities of the existing devices covered by the specification:
• Addition of E2E security
• PIN Password Entry
1.2 XFS Service-Specific Programming
The service classes are defined by their service-specific commands and the associated data structures, error codes,
messages, etc. These commands are used to request functions that are specific to one or more classes of Service
Providers, but not all of them, and therefore are not included in the common API for basic or administration
functions.
When a service-specific command is common among two or more classes of Service Providers, the syntax of the
command is as similar as possible across all services, since a major objective of XFS is to standardize function
codes and structures for the broadest variety of services. For example, using the WFSExecute function, the
commands to read data from various services are as similar as possible to each other in their syntax and data
structures.
In general, the specific command set for a service class is defined as a superset of the specific capabilities likely to
be provided by the developers of the services of that class; thus any particular device will normally support only a
subset of the defined command set.
There are three cases in which a Service Provider may receive a service-specific command that it does not support:
The requested capability is defined for the class of Service Providers by the XFS specification, the particular vendor
implementation of that service does not support it, and the unsupported capability is not considered to be
fundamental to the service. In this case, the Service Provider returns a successful completion, but does no operation.
An example would be a request from an application to turn on a control indicator on a passbook printer; the Service
Provider recognizes the command, but since the passbook printer it is managing does not include that indicator, the
Service Provider does no operation and returns a successful completion to the application.
The requested capability is defined for the class of Service Providers by the XFS specification, the particular vendor
implementation of that service does not support it, and the unsupported capability is considered to be fundamental
to the service. In this case, a WFS_ERR_UNSUPP_COMMAND error for Execute commands or
WFS_ERR_UNSUPP_CATEGORY error for Info commands is returned to the calling application. An example
would be a request from an application to a cash dispenser to retract items where the dispenser hardware does not
have that capability; the Service Provider recognizes the command but, since the cash dispenser it is managing is
unable to fulfil the request, returns this error.
The requested capability is not defined for the class of Service Providers by the XFS specification. In this case, a
WFS_ERR_INVALID_COMMAND error for Execute commands or WFS_ERR_INVALID_CATEGORY error
for Info commands is returned to the calling application.
This design allows implementation of applications that can be used with a range of services that provide differing
subsets of the functionalities that are defined for their service class. Applications may use the WFSGetInfo and
WFSAsyncGetInfo commands to inquire about the capabilities of the service they are about to use, and modify
their behavior accordingly, or they may use functions and then deal with error returns to make decisions as to how
to use the service.

2. Check Readers and Scanners
This specification describes the XFS service class of check readers and scanners. Check image scanners are treated
as a special case of check readers, i.e. image-enabled instances of the latter. This class includes devices with a range
of features, from small hand-held read-only devices through which checks are manually swiped one at a time, to
desktop units which automatically feed the check one at a time; recording the MICR data and check image, and
endorse or encode the check. The specification of this service class includes definitions of the service-specific
commands that can be issued, using the WFSAsyncExecute, WFSExecute, WFSGetInfo and WFSAsyncGetInfo
functions.
In the U.S., checks are always encoded in magnetic ink for reading by Magnetic Ink Character Recognition
(MICR), and a single font is always used. In Europe some countries use MICR and some use Optical Character
Recognition (OCR) character sets, with different fonts, for their checks.
In all countries, typical fields found encoded on a check include the bank ID number and the account number. Part
of the processing done by the bank is to also encode the amount on the check, usually done by having an operator
enter the handwritten or typewritten face amount on a numeric keypad.
This service class is currently defined only for attended branch service.
