1|INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the CF Mag Stripe Reader Card 4E. The

card reads data from one, two, or three track magnetic stripes on ID

cards, driver’s licenses, royalty cards or credit/debit cards into a

Windows Mobile, XP or Vista based computer. It’s the perfect solution

for mobile Point of Sale applications, whether you want to eliminate

long lines inside a department store or need to process credit cards

at outdoor events.

The CF Mag Stripe Reader Card is great to combine with a cellular or wireless network to

perform credit card authorizations, manage inventory and prices, and look up credit

balances and other account information on the fly. For security applications, set up a

mobile authentication system that wirelessly accesses database records for identity

verification.

The CF Mag Stripe Reader Card can also be used with voter registration cards, health cards,

and other identity documents.

Sleekly designed with no cables or batteries, the CF Mag Stripe Reader Card works in the

CompactFlash or PC Card slot of compatible mobile computers.

ABOUT THE SOFTWARE

SocketScan Plug-in™ keyboard wedge software feeds swiped data directly into any

open program, as if the data were manually typed — no custom programming is

required.
