Card Readers for
Magstripe & Barcode
Scans
bar codes
The Omni scans bar codes printed on paper, card stock, or
plastic. An infrared option is available for security-based applications, where bar codes
are overprinted to prevent duplication.
Three
Units Available
The Omni reads up to three tracks of information with a single
swipe in either direction. You can purchase the barcode only reader, the magnetic stripe
only reader, or the combination reader. In combination, the same Omni unit can read
both bar code and magnetic stripe media. TTL, RS-232, keyboard wedge, USB/Keyboard, and
Weigand interfaces are available.
Stands
up to heavy use
The Omni reader is designed for demanding applications, such as
for access control or in self-service kiosks. Its die-cast metal base, stainless steel
wearplate, and impact-resistant housing make it ideal for stand-alone, high-volume
traffic. Its metal base can be securely mounted with screws, and cable exits are avaliable
at the side, end, or bottom of the unit. A weatherproof/extended temperature version is
also available for use in harsh environments.
Edits
and formats data
The Omni 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. Data editing for the Weigand interface can be programmed with an optional
RS-232 adaptor cable.
