P-Series USB Insertion Reader
2
FEATURES
Major features of the Insert Reader are as follows:
• Powered through the USB – no external power supply required
• Hardware Compatible with PC or any computer or terminal with a USB interface
• JIS Discrimination circuitry - automatically detects if a dual-stripe JIS (Japanese Industrial
Standard) card is inserted and auto-routes the ISO data signals to the microcontroller. This
ensures that dual-head features still work for Japanese card holders. (Only supported on the
2-track model.)
• Mag-Stripe reading during insertion and/or removal of card – for reliable card reading
• Reads encoded data that meets ANSI/ISO/AAMVA standards and others such as ISO track 1
format on track 2
• Reads up to three tracks of card data
• Error reduction for withdrawal reads by using good insert read data
• Compatible with USB specification Revision 1.1
• Compatible with HID specification Version 1.1
• Can use standard Windows HID driver for communications; no third party device driver is
required
• Programmable USB serial number descriptor
• Programmable USB Interrupt In Endpoint polling interval
• Programmable read direction. (insert, withdrawal or both)
• Non-volatile flash EEPROM memory for property storage
• Optional 6-foot Black or Pearl White cable
• Sealed Chassis design - provides superior protection from moisture
• Isolated PCB - isolates electronics from debris and liquids
• AGC (Automatic Gain Control) in MagTek’s latest read IC - enhances read performance
with less susceptibility to RF interference
• Beam-mounted Read-heads - improves card tracking capabilities
• Ruggedized Chassis and Bezel Material - improves temperature and impact performance
