Specifications
The AKB500 keyboard integrates optical character recognition (OCR) and magnetic swipe reader (MSR) functionality to deliver a solid, multi-function device with a compact footprint that quickly establishes customer identity. This magnetic swipe reader keyboard is ideal for airline passenger check-in and card reading, retail/point of sale (POS) terminals and security environments.
One of the key features of the AKB500 family is the placement of the read camera at the center of the read slot, allowing for bidirectional reading within the footprint of the device and saving valuable desk space.
The identity document reader keyboard can be adapted to add a new host or to support non-standard cards, such as loyalty or frequent flyer and special dedicated formats.
