1 | Introduction
The Socket CF Mag Stripe Reader Card 4E reads data
from one, two, or three track magnetic stripes on ID
cards, driver’s licenses, or credit cards into a Pocket PC
or Windows XP notebook or tablet computer. It’s the
perfect solution for mobile Point of Sale applications,
whether you want to eliminate long lines inside a
department store or need to process credit cards at
outdoor events.
The Socket CF Mag Stripe Reader Card is great to use in
conjunction with a cellular or wireless network. You can
perform credit card authorizations, manage inventory and
prices, and look up credit balances and other account
information anywhere within the network coverage area.
For security applications, set up a mobile authentication
system that wirelessly accesses database records for
identity verification.
The CF Mag Stripe Reader Card can also be used with voter registration cards,
health cards, financial cards, and other identity documents.
Sleekly designed with no cables or batteries, the Socket CF Mag Stripe Reader
Card works in the CompactFlash or PC Card slot of compatible mobile
omputers.
About the Software
SocketScan™ enters swiped data directly into any open Windows
program, as if the data were manually typed — no custom
programming is required. You can configure Prefix/Suffixes and
assign a .WAV file to signify good data reads.
