ID Tech 3840 Stripe Reader-Writer Details

Writes to magnetic stripes. ID TECH's Reader-Writer has two magnetic heads to enable it to write and verify data with a single pass. It is capable of encoding any of three tracks at either 75 or 210 BPI density.

Reads magnetic stripes. The Reader-Writer reads and decodes up to three tracks of information with a single swipe. A long stainless-steel card guide ensures better card registration and minimizes alignment problems. Magnetic stripe data is output to a standard RS-232 serial interface.

Verifies magnetic stripe data. The Reader-Writer verifies the written magnetic stripe data in ISO/ANSI or user-defined formats. Verification status is signaled by a series of three LED indicators.

Configures with Windows-based operating software. Compatible with ISO/ANSI, AAMVA, and California DMV formats, the Reader-Writer can be programmed using menu-driven operating software. User-programmable features include component tests, read and write functions that display the data, and card comparison routines. Configuration settings can also be user-defined.
