USB magnetic stripe reader

The M9001 is a USB magnetic stripe reader that decodes up to three tracks of card data. It connects as a USB keyboard device so no driver or software installation is required. The unit reads bi-directionally and meets ISO 7811 and ISO 7812 decoding standards. It is designed for countertop or mounted point-of-sale use.

Suitable for keyboard-input POS systems

This reader suits merchants who need a plug-and-play device that sends card data directly into any text field, spreadsheet or POS screen that accepts keyboard input. It is not suited for environments that require an SDK or custom software integration. Buyers who need encrypted output or a non-keyboard USB interface should look at other models.

Three-track ISO 7811 and 7812 decoding

The single specification that decides fit is the ability to read all three magnetic tracks under ISO 7811 and ISO 7812 standards. If your cards use only one or two tracks, or if your application demands a proprietary track format, this device may not match your requirements.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the three-track version or a single-track model for loyalty and payment cards?

The M9001 reads all three magnetic tracks, so it captures loyalty data on track one and payment data on tracks two and three in one swipe.

How does the USB keyboard emulation behave when I swipe a card into Excel or a POS screen?

The reader types the decoded track data directly into any text field exactly as a keyboard would, with no driver installation required.

What does the ISO 7811 and 7812 compliance actually limit when reading worn or high-jitter cards?

Compliance means the decoder follows the standard track format and coercivity rules; the hardware still reads worn or high-jitter cards reliably because of the patented magnetic head design.
