INTRODUCTION TO THE SCANTEAM 6920
Introduction
The SCANTEAMR 6920 products are decoded output Magnetic
Stripe card Readers (MSRs) which attach to PersonalComputer
(PC) products through a keyboard wedge interface. All magnetic
stripe decoding and wedge electronics are contained in the
compact SCANTEAM 6920 enclosure. The magnetic stripe data
transmitted by the SCANTEAM 6920 to the PC emulates
keyboard data input, so that for many applications, no PC
program modification is required to input data from the
SCANTEAM 6920.
The SCANTEAM 6920 is a biĆdirectionalcard reader, that is, it
can read cards swiped in either direction through the card
reader. The beeper and the LED included in the SCANTEAM
6920 indicate a good read or bad read to the operator. Versions
are available which allow decoding single, dual, and triple track
magnetic stripe cards.
