Multi-track magstripe and barcode reader
The OMNI WCR3227-633UC reads up to three tracks of magnetic data in a single swipe, supporting ISO 7811, AAMVA and CADMV card formats. It also captures most barcode symbologies, including infrared codes, during the same pass. A beeper and three-colour LED confirm each successful read.
Suited for unattended kiosks and access control
Die-cast metal construction with a stainless steel wear plate makes the unit resistant to heavy public use and vandalism. Programmable data formatting lets integrators match output to existing host software without middleware. Businesses needing contactless NFC or chip-card EMV processing should look elsewhere, as this model handles only magnetic stripe and barcode media.
USB with RS-232 emulation interface
The reader connects via USB while presenting an RS-232 emulation layer, allowing legacy serial-based point-of-sale or time-and-attendance applications to communicate without rewiring. Swipe speed is rated from 3 to 60 inches per second, and the magnetic head is rated for 1,000,000 passes.

| Feature | The Omni reads up to three tracks of information with a single swipe in either direction. In combination, the same Omni unit can read both bar code and magnetic stripe media. The Omni can be programmed to divide, rearrange, edit, and validate fields of scanned data. In addition, it allows for up to 16 preamble or postamble characters. Data editing for the Weigand interface can be programmed with an optional RS-232 adaptor cable. The Omni scans bar codes printed on paper, card stock, or plastic.

Questions about this item
How do I install the WCR3227-633UC and which step is often missed?
Connect the USB cable; the reader uses RS-232 emulation so you must install the virtual COM port driver before the POS software can recognise the device.
What part of the OMNI reader will need replacement after heavy use?
The magnetic head is rated for 1,000,000 swipe passes; once that cycle count is reached the head should be replaced to maintain read reliability.
What limit appears first during continuous swiping?
The maximum read speed is 60 inches per second; sustained operation at that rate will hit the head duty cycle of 1,000,000 passes before any other constraint.
