DESCRIPTION ID TECH SecureMag reader delivers superior reading performance with the ability to encrypt sensitive card data. The data encryption process prevents card holder information from being accessed when the data is stored or in transit, so the data remains secure from end to end.

HOST CONNECTIONS & DRIVERS The SecureMag reader is connected to the host computer via a USB input port. Since USB devices are designed to be “plug and play,” the computer will search for a Human Interface Device (HID) driver when the SecureMag is first connected. If one cannot be found, the computer will prompt you to make a selection.
OPERATION The SecureMag magnetic stripe reader is easy to operate. Just follow these simple steps: Make sure the reader is properly connected and is receiving sufficient power. To read a card, slide the card, in either direction, through the reader slot, with the magnetic stripe facing the magnetic head opposite LED side.

MAGSWIPE CONFIGURATION UTILITY SecureMag data format can be configured when the encryption feature is off. The magnetically encoded data on the magnetic stripe can be decoded (read) by magnetic card readers. The stripe data has a fixed format defined by the ISO standards. The ISO fixed format is not always convenient or useful for card reading applications.
See the default settings table for details. The configuration software can be downloaded from the ID TECH website. From the website, download the Configuration Utility ZIP file into a tempo-rary file folder on your local hard drive.
