ID Tech Spectrum III Hybrid Intelligent OEM Insert Reader Module
ID Tech Spectrum III Hybrid Intelligent OEM Insert Reader
Reads Magnetic Stripes
ID TECH’s Spectrum Hybrid Insert Reader is designed to read and decode up to three tracks of magnetically-encoded information. It reliably reads media conforming to ISO 7810 and 7811 standards. The magnetic head is spring-loaded to ensure good contact with warped or bowed cards.
Reads Smart Cards
The ID TECH Hybrid Insert Reader can read and write to Integrated Circuit Cards (ICC), smart cards, memory, or microprocessor cards conforming to ISO 7816 standards. The reader is approved to the Terminal Level 1 EMV2000 specification, and is able to communicate with a host PC as a smart card reader-writer under the PC/SC version 1.0 interface. In fact, both the USB and RS-232 versions of the reader can communicate with the host as PC/SC or serial devices. The PCA provides a SAM (SIM) socket, and an optional secondary PCA provides four additional SAM interface sockets.
Selects and Formats Data
The ID TECH Hybrid Insert Reader is a fully-intelligent unit that can be configured to read all tracks or selected tracks from a magnetic stripe. It can also output data with a terminating character and up to nine prefix and postfix characters to match a data format expected by the host.
