ID TECH VersaMag
Intelligent Swipe Reader for Magnetic Stripes with Optional Bar Code
Capability
Reads magnetic stripes.
The ID TECH VersaMag reads and decodes up to three tracks of information with a single swipe in
either direction. Keyboard and RS-232 interfaces are available. An adjustable beeper and
multi-color LED indicator signal a successful read.
Edits and formats data.
The ID TECH VersaMag 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. Windows-based
configuration software is included for easy, on-screen programming of
"magnetics-only" models with serial interface.
Supports bar code scanning.
By attaching an undecoded laser, CCD, wand, or slot scanner to a ID
TECH VersaMag with the
optional bar code capability, the same unit can decode scanned bar code data, as well as
read and decode magnetic stripe media.
Performs quickly and reliably.
With its combination of magnetic stripe and bar code decoding capabilities,
the ID TECH VersaMag
is especially suited for the high- performance demands of point-of-sale environments. Its
stainless steel wearplate and spring-loaded magnetic head insure optimum contact and
exceptional dependability. State-of-the-art magnetic "read" electronics and ID
TECHs signature "on the fly" bar code decoding technology deliver
unparalleled value.
