Unitech MS241 Magnetic Stripe Reader

Unitech’s MS241 magnetic stripe reader provides a reliable and versatile magnetic stripe reading solution while offering the simplicity to speed any integration. Cards can be swiped and read in both directions. An LED provides feedback to the user indicating ready-to-read or read-error.

No programming, drivers, or external power is needed when using Unitech’s MS241’s keyboard wedge interface. Simply connect the reader to your keyboard and your PC’s keyboard port, and you're in business. Data is read from the card and sent to the PC just as if it were entered from the keyboard.

For customized applications, Unitech’s MS 241 can be programmed to output data according to your specific requirements via Unitech’s Reader Configuration Manager software.
