SmartCard, Packing/Enclosure, Small Footprint

Section 1. Features and Specifications

Direction of Magnetic Read: The ISO 7810 and 7811 specifications allow for bidirectional magnetic reading of the card. As such, the Reader provides services that allow the card to be read in either direction.

Read Formats: In addition to reading cards that meet the ISO 7810 and 7811 specifications, the Reader reads AAMVA drivers license cards. Also, all 3 tracks of the Reader reads any card that follows ISO 5-bit or 7-bit data formats and is within any bit density in the range of 75 to 210 bpi.

Encoded Formats: In addition to encoding cards that comply with ISO 7811 encoding formats, it is possible to customize encoding formats as follows:

•Encoded bit density is selectable at 75 or 210 bpi on all three tracks.

•The character is selectable for either 5-bit or 7-bit format on all three tracks.

•The Start-Sentinel character is user selectable as either a (;) or a (=) for 5-bit code or a (%) or (=) for 7-bit code.

SmartCard

The transport provides smartcard contacts that are compatible with ISO 7816 and EMV level 1 Standards. In addition, the smartcard contact block has a card landed switch that detects when an ISO 7810 thickness card is properly pressed against the smartcard contact block.

Packing/Enclosure

The enclosure provides for proper functionality for user interface, cable routing, mechanical mounting, jam clearance, optional SAM (Security Access Module) installation and Optional TRSM (Tamper Resistant Security Module), and general maintenance.

Small Footprint

The unit has the smallest footprint required by the limited counter-top and desktop space available at financial institutions.
