Product Data Sheet

MAG Stripe Reader-Writer (Tracks 1, 2, and 3, USB-CDC and Hi-Low)

ID Tech's Reader-Writer has two magnetic heads to enable it to write and verify data with a single pass. It is capable of encoding any of three tracks at either 75 or 210 BPI density.

The Reader-Writer reads and decodes up to three tracks of information with a single swipe. A long stainless-steel card guide ensures better card registration and minimizes alignment problems. Magnetic stripe data is output to a standard RS-232 serial interface.

The Reader-Writer verifies the written magnetic stripe data in ISO-ANSI or user-defined formats. Verification status is signaled by a series of three LED indicators. Compatible with ISO-ANSI AAMVA and California DMV formats the Reader-Writer can be programmed using menu-driven operating software.

User-programmable features include component tests read and write functions that display the data and card comparison routines. Configuration settings can also be user-defined.
