Card Reader Options
The RW series can be equipped with optional Magnetic
Stripe and Smart Card readers. The magnetic stripe card
reader allows the user to swipe magnetic stripe cards such
as credit cards through a slot in the printer and then read and
process the data contained in the card.
In a similar manner the Smart Card reader can read the information written in the microchip embedded in Smart Cards,
and process the information in the chip in a variety of ways
depending on the printer’s application.
