INTRODUCTION
Description
The MiniMag™ compact magnetic stripe reader can read 1, 2, or 3
tracks of magnetic stripe information. In addition, it has full data edit-
ing capabilities.
When connected to the host computer as a keyboard wedge, the Min-
iMag is completely compatible with the host’s software. The decoded
data appears to the host as if it were entered manually by the operator
through the keyboard.
This unit is fully programmable through the keyboard. The data can be
formatted with preamble/postamble and terminator characters to match
the format expected by the host.
Power, when the reader is configured as a keyboard wedge, is obtained
from the host. The MiniMag is fully compatible with ID TECH’s
VersaMag II magnetic stripe reader.
