ID TECH MiniMag Intelligent Reader

The ID TECH MiniMag Intelligent IDMB-334133BM is a compact magnetic stripe reader designed for point-of-sale systems. It reads up to three tracks of card data in either swipe direction at speeds from 3 to 60 IPS. The unit measures 3.5 inches long and connects via keyboard wedge or USB interface for broad compatibility.

Suits POS systems needing three-track reading

This reader suits businesses requiring reliable AAMVA and CA DVM format support with programmable data output. The 1,000,000-pass head duty cycle handles high-volume daily use. Buyers needing contactless NFC or EMV chip capability should look at other devices, as this unit reads magnetic stripe only.

Keyboard wedge and USB interface

The dual keyboard wedge and USB interface determines whether this reader integrates with your existing terminal or PC. No additional drivers are required for keyboard wedge mode, while USB provides a direct serial connection. Verify your system accepts one of these two interfaces before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Will the MiniMag IDMB-334133BM work with my older POS terminal that only has a PS/2 keyboard port?

Yes, the keyboard wedge interface connects between a PS/2 keyboard and the terminal, so the reader appears as keystrokes without extra drivers.

How do I know the reader captured the swipe correctly on the first try?

A beeper sounds and a three-colour LED flashes green to confirm a good read of tracks one, two and three.

Does the box include a USB cable, or do I need to order one separately?

The reader ships with an attached USB cable for the USB interface; no separate cable is required for that connection.
