Description
Overview
The Series 3800 of magnetic stripe readers provide an ideal solution for applications requiring the transfer of credit card and other magnetically encoded information into a computer.
There are three models available in the product line. Model 3810 is configured as a keyboard wedge, allowing scanned data to appear to the host as if it came from manually entered data and requires no modification to the application software. The output of the Model 3820 is ASCII data transmitted to the host via an RS232 serial connection, allowing the unit to be placed up to 35 feet away from the host system. Software is available to take the serial data received through the serial COM port and place it in the keyboard buffer of a PC, where the application program will interpret it as keyboard entered data. Data can be decoded at ""swipe"" rates as low as 5 inches per second and as high as 60 inches per second. The cards can be ""swiped"" either in a forward or backward direction.
For applications where the reader will be connected to a separate decoder box, the Model 3830 provides an uuencoded TTL data output.
Versatile
Single, dual or triple track reading is supported. Meets ABA, ANSI and ISO magnetic encoding standards.
Compact
These Units have a very small footprint, allowing them to be placed convenient to the operator without interfering with the placement of other equipment. They can also be easily attached to the side of a terminal or counter or any flat horizontal or vertical surface.
Audible Indicators
As soon as a ""swipe"" is decoded, the RS232 and wedge units will indicate a ""good read"" by emitting an audible beep. If the ""swipe"" is unsuccessful, a series of three short beeps is emitted. The operator immediately knows if the ""swipe"" was successful without looking at the screen.
Applications
Accuracy
Most retail operations accept some type of credit or debit card as payment. Rather than manually entering the data and risk key entry errors, the speed and accuracy of the transaction is enhanced by entering the data directly into the computer via the keyboard or an RS232 port.
Security
Magnetically encoded cards are ideal for security and time-keeping applications. The information encoded cannot be read except by magnetic means and cannot be duplicated without special equipment. More verification data can be encoded than is possible with bar coded cards.
