LC10M Magnetic Stripe Bar Code Slot Reader

The two-in-one card reader will read a card or badge with a bar code symbol. It will also read a card with magnetic stripe information. There is no need for the user to indicate the type of card being used. The reader automatically senses which type of information is present.

Combining both functions in a single unit eliminates the need for two separate card readers. This not only saves money, but also saves valuable space at the workstation. In addition, it simplifies user training and eliminates

potential confusion. Using the reader is easy. Simply "swipe" the card through the slot in either direction. The reader is extremely speed tolerant, and will accept a wide range of swiping speeds.

The design of the reader provides a high degree of flexibility when reading bar codes. For example, an adjustable sensor height allows a bar code to be located almost anywhere on a card. Innovative design of the cable exit location allows the card reader to be easily installed in a variety of ways: on desk or tabletop, side or rear mount.

The reader is fully decoded for both bar code or magnetic stripe information. Either keyboard wedge or RS232 interface is available. The reader can be configured to read magnetic stripe information on ISO Track 1, Tracks 1 & 2 or 2 & 3. An auxiliary external scanner port is available as an option, allowing the use of a second bar code scanning device.
