USB Magnetic Stripe Reader

The MSR213U USB magnetic stripe reader is ideal for retail, time keeping, security and other card reader related systems. The triple tracks of the MSR213U are uniquely designed to read credit/debit/loyalty cards and driver licenses.

The MSR213U communicates with a host computer via USB interface and reads and converts magnetic stripe data to USB Human Interface Device (HID) USB keyboard interface. It is a Manual swipe, bi-directional and reads high and low coercivity magnetic stripes (300 - 4000 Oe). It has built-in capability for firmware download and LED and beeper for reading status.

The MSR213U is very reliable, and it is capable of more than a million bi-directional swipes. It fully conforms to the FCC Class B, CE Class B, RoHS.
