A full-length swipe path with programmable output

The ID TECH EasyMag reads up to three magnetic stripe tracks in either swipe direction. Its slot is more than five inches long, helping guide the card through the read path in POS, loyalty and security applications.

Programmable data editing can divide, rearrange and validate card fields for a compatible host application. USB, keyboard-wedge and serial interfaces are offered across the family; the selected part number determines the connection.
