The MagTek 21040108 is a compact, USB-powered magnetic stripe card reader designed for fast and efficient data capture in point-of-sale (POS) and other transaction environments. Its keyboard emulation feature allows for seamless integration with existing software that accepts keyboard input, without the need for additional drivers or application modifications.
Product Features:
Keyboard emulation: The device functions as a USB Human Interface Device (HID) keyboard, which means swiped card data is sent to your computer or terminal as if it were typed manually. This provides a plug-and-play experience that works with virtually any application or operating system that accepts text input.
Reads all three tracks: The reader is capable of capturing data from all three tracks of a magnetic stripe card, ensuring a comprehensive data capture. It is compatible with ISO, ANSI, AAMVA, and CDL standards.
Bi-directional card reading: Cards can be swiped forward or backward, which increases efficiency and reduces user error.
Bus-powered design: The reader is powered directly by the USB connection, eliminating the need for an external power adapter and simplifying setup.
Durable and reliable: Built to withstand high-volume use, the device has a high mean time between failures (MTBF), with a head life of up to 1,000,000 passes with ISO-conforming cards.
Compact form factor: With a small footprint and an integrated 6-foot USB cable, the reader can be easily mounted or placed on a desktop. A dual-color LED provides clear status indication for the operator.
