Compatible Reader for 1515L and 1715L

The Elo Touch Solutions E177037 magnetic stripe reader attaches to Elo 1515L and 1715L desktop touch monitors. It is designed for point-of-sale operators who need to accept magstripe payments at a fixed countertop station. The dark grey housing matches the monitor aesthetic for a tidy checkout setup.

USB HID limits for host software

The reader connects through a USB HID or USB HID Keyboard interface, so the host application must accept keystroke or raw HID input. Track data arrives as typed characters, limiting use to systems that can parse that format without custom drivers. Read speed ranges from 3 to 50 IPS, so very slow or very fast swipes may not register reliably.

Three-track magstripe support

This unit reads Track 1, Track 2 and Track 3 on standard magnetic cards, capturing all data fields required for most payment and loyalty schemes. If your workflow only needs one or two tracks, the extra track capability is unused but does not interfere. Buyers who need chip or contactless acceptance should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Should I choose a single-track or multi-track reader for the 1515L and 1715L?

This unit reads tracks 1, 2 and 3, so you can capture all standard card data formats in one device.

What does the 3 to 50 IPS read speed mean at the counter?

It accepts a swipe anywhere from a slow deliberate pass up to a fast 50 inches per second without misreads.

How does the USB HID interface affect setup on the 1515L or 1715L?

The HID keyboard mode makes the reader appear as a standard keyboard, so no driver install is needed on the touch monitor.
