MSR32x Stand-alone Magnetic Swipe Card Reader
The Access IS MSR32x performs bidirectional reading of magnetic swipe cards and documents for applications such as retail, airport, access control and industrial use. The MSR32x reads ticket and boarding pass to IATA ATB2 722C format and ISO 1, 2 and 3 track credit cards. The reader gives reliable reads at fast and slow swipe speeds and is very easy to use. For long life and reliability, the document transport slot is steel with smooth support buffers to guide the document through the reader.
The reader is available with a USB or RS232 interface with a variety of host protocol interfaces. The firmware can be quickly adapted to support non-standard cards such as loyalty or frequent flyer types.
Advanced decode circuitry and firmware give reliable and accurate reads of all information recorded on the coupon or card.
Access supply keyboards with integrated MSRs and other devices: see the custom keyboard page or airline keyboard page.
