Barcode slot readers are
devices that look like magnetic stripe readers, except they
read barcodes that are printed on them. The slot readers
connect to a PC by a keyboard wedge cable that connects
between the keyboard and the PC or by a USB cable. The barcode
is read by visible red optics in the slot and then decoded
and sent to the PC. This device is commonly used for access
ID cards, time clock and other check-in and check-out applications.
It reads bar codes printed on paper, card stock, or plastic.
It can be programmed to divide, rearrange, edit, and validate
fields of scanned data. In addition, it allows for up to
16 preamble or postamble characters.
Magnetic stripe readers (also referred
to as MSRs) read drivers licenses, credit cards and other
information encoded in the magnetic strips. The MSRs we
resell all have built in decoders that only output the information
encoded in the magnetic stripe and sent it to your PC as
if you typed it from the keyboard. By default these MSRs
decode AAMVA, ISO 7811 and CA DMV. AAMVA is the standard
used to encode and decode the magnetic stripes on drivers
licenses in the USA since the year 2000. ISO 7811 is the
standard used to encode credit card information. These magnetic
stripe decoders can read information from all 3 tracks.
Common uses include credit card point of sale systems, drivers
license verification, fake drivers license detection and
other types of ID cards.
Combo readers can read both bar code and
magnetic stripe media. The Omni scans bar codes printed
on paper, card stock, or plastic. An infrared option is
available for security-based applications, where bar codes
are overprinted to prevent duplication. The Omni reads up
to three tracks of information with a single swipe in either
direction. Its die-cast metal base, stainless steel
wearplate, and impact-resistant housing make it ideal for
stand-alone, high-volume traffic.
Programming the card readers: Because
the default settings of these readers allow decoding of
the information stored, programming is not normally necessary.
However, in some cases it may be necessary to program the
slot readers for particular software applications. The keyboard
wedge reader can be programmed by performing various keystrokes
on the keyboard, as described in the manual; the USB version
currently requires software to be installed on a Windows®
98 computer to program.
