The "Spectrum 1" Family
Features
Reads magnetic stripes
ID TECH's Spectrum Hybrid Insert Reader is designed to read and decode up to three tracks of magnetically-encoded information. It reliably reads media conforming to ISO 7810 and 7811 standards. An optional tri-colored LED guides the user through the reading process, indicates when data is being processed, and signals successful and unsuccessful reads.
Compatible with a wide range of footprints and applications
The reader’s chassis is molded from a glass and lubricant-filled engineering plastic that supports the magnetic head as well as a PCB with a landing-style smart card connector. Separate molded bezels (choice of standard, compact, flush mount, or metal) attach to the chassis to guide the card and serve as mount for the LED indicator.* The magnetic head is spring-loaded to ensure good contact with warped or bowed cards. The smart card connector has gold-plated contacts that create a .02 inch “wiping” action to ensure dependable connection and long life.

Reads smart cards
The ID TECH Hybrid Insert Reader can also be configured to read and write to Integrated Circuit Cards (ICC or “smart” cards), memory or microprocessor cards conforming to ISO 7816 standards. The reader itself is approved to Terminal Level 1 EMV 3.1.1 specification, and is able to communicate with a host PC as a “plug-and-play” smart card reader-writer under the Microsoft PC/SC smart card interface, if desired. Programming the USB version is accomplished with a USB Serial Driver that enables serial data to be input via a USB port on the host computer.
* LED not available with metal bezel.
 Selects and formats data
  The ID TECH Hybrid Insert Reader is a fully-intelligent unit that can be programmed to read all tracks or only selected tracks from a magnetic stripe. It can also output data with terminating characters and up to nine preamble or postamble characters to match a data format expected by the host. In addition, the reader offers gate, latch, and Security Access Module (SAM) options.
