The Omni reads up to 3 tracks of information with a single swipe in either direction. In combination, the same Omni unit can read both barcode and MagStripe media. It scans barcodes printed on paper, card stock, or plastic. An infrared option is available for security-based applications, where barcodes are over-printed to prevent duplication. The Omni reader is designed for demanding applications, such as for access control or in self-service kiosks. Weatherproof, sealed or extended temperature versions are available for use in harsh environments.
ID Tech WCR3237 Omni Barcode Card Reader
The Omni Reader is originally designed for the demanding Access Control and Time & Attendance markets. Its die cast metal base, stainless steel wear plate, and impact-resistant housing make Omni reads up to three (varies by model) tracks of magnetic information with a single swipe in either direction.
Omni reads most bar code symbologies: both visible or infrared bar code data and/or MagStripe data, both in a single swipe. It has a beeper and three-color LED indicator to signal a successful read. The reader is programmable so that the data format and intelligent interface output can be programmed & configured to match application communication requirements.
