Barcode Man

Sorry but I can no longer supply this product.

The reason is one or more of these:

  • ...the product has been discontinued or replaced by the manufacturer.
  • ...there is now a similar, improved, upgraded or better product at similar or lower cost.
  • ...I have decided to discontinue the product on technical grounds.

Wherever possible I will try to offer a suitable alternative. Visit my Archive page of discontinued products to view suggested alternatives or contact the Sales Office for advice.

DURAREADER

Heavy Duty Slot Reader for Bar Codes and/or Magnetic Stripes

Scans bar codes.
The DuraReader scans bar codes printed on paper, card stock, or plastic. An infrared option is available for security-based applications, where bar codes are over-printed to prevent duplication.

Reads magnetic stripes.
The DuraReader reads up to three tracks of information with a single swipe in either direction. In combination, the same DuraReader unit can read both bar code and magnetic stripe media. TTL, RS232, and keyboard wedge interfaces are available.

Stands up to heavy use.
The DuraReader is designed for demanding applications, such as for access control or in self-service kiosks. Its die-cast metal base, stainless steel wearplate, and impact-resistant housing make it ideal for stand-alone, high-volume traffic. The weatherproof design withstands harsh environments, as well as an extended temperature range to minus 35 degrees C.

Edits and formats data.
The DuraReader can be programmed to divide, rearrange, edit, and validate fields of scanned data. In addition, it allows for up to 16 preamble or postamble characters.
