Characteristics of the MCI 111 A
The MCI family is characterized especially by its ergonomic and compact design.
The MCI 111 A now supports reading OCR data, magnetic cards and AUX device data through
one COM port (either virtual or RS232). The data of all wedge devices are formatted following the
appropriate protocol guidelines (ARINC, SITA, etc.).
The MCI 111 A is equipped with the following modules:
•
Optical character recognition device (OCR)
•
Magnetic stripe reader (MSR)
•
AUX device port
•
2D Barcode Scanner Module (optional)
•
Pointing device "Glidepad" (optional)
The optical character recognition (OCR) device supports reading passports, ID-cards and similar
machine readable documents with up to three lines of data. The MSR reads max. three tracks
according to ISO 7810/7811 and ATB documents.
The MCI 111 A is available either with USB or a combined PS2/RS232 cable. If connected via
USB, the module uses virtual COM port technology.
Depending on the keypad, keyboards of the MCI family have up to 145 programmable key
positions. In the alphanumeric keypad design, the keys of the alphabetic section are pre-assigned
according to the functions of a standard MF2 keyboard, but also here all keys can be customized
by our programming software.
Programming of the individual key positions is done with our easy-to-use programming software
WinProgrammer. You can find the appropriate software packages, as well as additional notes
regarding programming in the
