ANSWER: The contents of tag 9F39 indicate the transaction entry mode. The tag's possible values (and their meanings) are shown in the table below. This table comes directly from ISO-8583 and is not specific to ID TECH. (ISO-8583 is an industry standard, and these are the standard values and meanings.)
