MagTek MT-211 3-Track USB Keyboard-Emulation Swipe Reader

Capture magnetic-stripe data from Track 1, Track 2, and Track 3 through a USB connection that uses keyboard emulation. This interface sends decoded swipe data to the active input field as keystrokes, allowing the reader to work with point-of-sale, membership, identity, and data-entry applications that accept keyboard input. The attached 6 ft cable provides reach from a counter-mounted workstation or terminal to the operator’s swipe position. MagTek 21040080 is the white, three-track USB configuration in the MT-211 Mini Swipe Reader range. Three-track capability matters where an application requires data beyond the commonly used Track 2 format, including workflows that read encoded identification or membership data. Keyboard-emulation output avoids a dedicated serial interface and keeps the reader attached through a standard USB host connection. Use this reader where a wired swipe device must remain available at a checkout counter, service desk, visitor station, or enrollment workstation. Its compact swipe-reader format suits fixed locations where staff need a direct manual read rather than a contactless or chip-card transaction interface. Select this configuration when white hardware, USB keyboard-emulation connectivity, a 6 ft attached cable, and all-three-track reading are required together.
