Turn Your Pocket PC or Windows XP Tablet into a Mobile Point of Sale (POS) Terminal
The Socket Mobile CF Magnetic Stripe Reader Card 4E reads data from one, two, or three track magnetic stripes on ID cards, driver's licenses or credit cards into a Pocket PC, laptop, or tablet PC. The card works on Pocket PC (Windows Mobile) devices running Windows CE.NET v4.2 or later and Windows XP laptops and tablets. It’s the perfect solution for mobile Point of Sale applications. If your Pocket PC or Windows XP computer has wireless connectivity, you can even perform credit card authorizations on the go.

The Socket Mobile CF Mag Stripe Reader Card 4E is supported by the same SocketScan software and SDK used with all of Socket Mobile’s bar code scanning and RFID products. SocketScan software enters data directly into any Windows application as if it were manually typed — no custom programming is required. The SocketScan SDK (not included) is required for more complex applications using parsed or encrypted data.

No batteries or power adapter are needed — the sleek and compact CF Mag Stripe Reader Card draws power from the host computer. The card’s exclusive Mobility Friendly™ design uses minimal power, with only 7 mA in standby mode, to maximize the battery life of your Pocket PC or Windows XP computer.
