Magtek Magnetic Stripe Reader 21040108

The USB keyboard emulation swipe reader is a compact magnetic stripe card reader with a single read head that conforms to ISO standards. The reader is compatible with any device with a USB interface. A card is read by sliding it, stripe down and facing the LED side, through the slot either forward or backward. Reader is powered through the USB - no external power supply required. Hardware is compatible with PC or any computer or terminal with a USB interface. Reader provides Red/Green/Amber LED light for status. A LED (Light Emitting Diode) indicator on the Reader panel provides the operator with continuous status of the Reader operations. The Reader emulates a USB Human Interface Device (HID) United States keyboard or optionally all international keyboards using ALT ASCII code keypad key combinations or customizable key maps. This allows host applications designed to acquire card data from keyboard input to seamlessly acquire the card data from the USB swipe reader.
