No programming, software drivers, or external power is required. Just connect the reader to the keyboard and the keyboard port or a USB port on almost any PC or Mac and you're ready to read magnetic stripe cards. Data is read from the card and sent to the PC or Mac just as if it were entered from the keyboard. The MS241 is low-power CMOS, so no external power source is required. The MS241 can, however, be programmed to output your data exactly according to your requirements via the revolutionary Reader Configuration Manager software, available only for Unitech card readers. RCM is an easy to use Windows application that communicates your specific data output requirements directly to your MSR241. (MS241s connected to Macs might need to be configured via PC.) Cards can be swiped and read in both directions. An LED provides feedback to the user indicating ready to read or read error.
