Introduction
This section will provide an illustrated breakdown of the Model M260.
The Model M210 and Model M260 are 2D Bar Code Scanners designed for reading and decoding 2D Bar Code on ID Cards and Driver’s Licenses. The Model M210 / M260 presents decoded Bar Code information through RS 232 interface or USB, utilizing an RJ 45 connector and Kiosk connection.
The Model M260 additionally provides a three track Magnetic Stripe Reader incorporated into one integrated housing.
Multiple cable options are available to interface to various systems and plug requirements.
Cable Options
- USB Cable
- Serial Cable
