Compact MICR check scanner for retail counters

The MagTek 22551002 MICRSafe reads E13-B and CMC-7 fonts in a single pass while encrypting data with Triple DES. It accepts one check at a time and includes a three-track magnetic stripe reader for ISO and AAMVA cards. USB and keyboard-wedge interfaces connect directly to common POS terminals.

Single-feed capacity rated at one million passes

The feeder handles one document per transaction and the MICR head is rated for 1000000 passes before service. Triple DES encryption secures every swipe and read at the point of capture. Throughput suits low-to-moderate counter volumes; high-volume back-office batches would exceed the single-feed design.

Small metal chassis with included power supply

Dimensions are 4.25 x 4.00 x 6.25 inches and weight is 3.00 lbs, so the unit sits on a crowded counter without a mounting bracket. A 12 VDC 1.5 Amp adapter (part 643000118) ships in the box, eliminating the need for a separate power brick. RS-232 auxiliary output is one-way only, limiting two-way host control.

Questions about this item

Will the USB and keyboard-wedge interfaces on the 22551002 work with an older POS terminal that only accepts RS-232 AUX input?

The scanner includes USB and keyboard-wedge interfaces; the supplier notes it also connects to POS terminals through an RS-232 AUX interface for data output.

How can I verify the 22551002 is reading E13-B and CMC-7 MICR fonts correctly after installation?

Run a test check through the single-feed path; the device reads both E13-B and CMC-7 fonts in one pass and sends the decoded data to the POS application.

Does the 22551002 ship with the 12 VDC 1.5 A power supply (part 643000118) and cable, or must I order them separately?

The box includes the cable and power supply (643000118) so no separate purchase is required for power or connectivity.
