The E-Seek M260 Magnetic Stripe and 2D Barcode Reader from DATACARD is a high-performance reader for processing government issued ID cards. It features a small footprint, and for ease of use the unit is powered via its built-in USB port. Ideal for age verification and transaction processing, this compact reader transfers data to the host device via a standard USB interface or RS-232 serial port. In addition to the standard side access cable interface connector, the M260 also uses a bottom-mounted interface connector that makes it easy to mount for kiosk and vehicle mounting situations.
