MiniMag Magnetic Card Reader

MiniMag Magnetic Card Reader


Reads magnetic stripes. Versatile, low cost.
The MiniMag reads up to three tracks of information with a single swipe in either direction. Its standards-length slot makes it easy to use. Both beeper and LED indicators signal a successful read.
  
  
The MiniMag Intelligent Card Reader delivers exceptional functionality and value in the smallest possible package. It can be used as a free-standing unit, or permanently mounted with threaded inserts on the bottom of the reader. TTL, RS-232, and keyboard wedge interfaces are available.


Fits in tight places. Edits and formats data.
The MiniMag Intelligent Card Reader is designed for POS and desktop applications where space is at a premium. The entire unit is just 90mm long (about the length of a credit card), giving it the smallest footprint of any unit with comparable features. The MiniMag is a fully intelligent slot reader that can be programmed to divide, rearrange, edit, and validate fields of entered data.
