Half-Card
Half-Card Insert Card Reader
Reliable read
Reads up to 3 tracks of data from ISO and AAMVA encoded cards.
Small chassis
The Half Card Insert Readers take up very little panel space and require much less panel depth than full length insert card readers. A rear sensor is used to indicate card present.
Game on!
They are popular for gaming purposes and other closed applications where special function cards are used.
