Multi-Port Decoders
Features
Decodes quickly and reliably
With its combination of magnetic stripe and bar code decoding capabilities, a multi-port decoder from ID TECH is especially suited for the high-performance demands of point-of- sale environments. ID TECH’s signature “on the fly” bar code decoding technology delivers unparalleled performance and value.
Supports multiple scanning devices
The Series 98 has two input ports to accommodate up to two scanning or reading devices in a variety of combinations. The Series 88 has two universal ports and a serial input port, so the same unit can support two laser or CCD scanners, as well as a magnetic stripe reader.  
Multi Port Barcode Decoder, Multi Port Magstripe Decoder
Edits and formats data
Either decoder can be programmed to divide, rearrange, and edit fields of scanned data, as well as add preambles and postambles. Both units are compatible with a wide range of host computers. The Series 88 is a great value for RS-232 terminal interface applications, while the Series 98, which comes with its own attached cable, is excellent for keyboard wedge applications.  
Configures easily using bar code menus
Both decoders come with menus that allow you to configure either unit by simply scanning the appropriate bar codes. Selectable parameters, such as scan verification, language select, and baud rate, can be set instantly, as can magnetic stripe options, such as the specific tracks to be read.
