  • Page 9: Section 1 General Description

    This Magnetic Stripe Reader is design to read high or low coercive magnetic cards. It can decode/verify up to 3 tracks of data simultaneously. This product communicates with a host computer or other terminal using a standard USB interface. Because of the transmitting protocol of MSR120D is more precise, it is suitable for using in financial industry.
