USB credit-card reader for point-of-sale
The MagTek 21040110 is a magnetic-stripe reader that connects through a USB port and presents itself as a keyboard-emulation device. It reads track 1 and track 2 data from cards conforming to ISO, ANSI, CDL and AAMVA standards at speeds from 3 to 60 inches per second. The unit draws power from the USB bus so no external supply is needed.
Thermals noise and power in daily use
Because the reader is powered entirely by the USB connection its power draw is minimal and it generates no audible noise or noticeable heat during operation. The electronics are rated for 125,000 hours MTBF while the head is rated for one million passes with ISO-conforming cards. Operating temperature range is 0 °C to 55 °C and storage range is –30 °C to 70 °C.
Bundled cable and emulation modes
The package includes a USB interface cable that enables immediate connection to any computer or terminal with a USB 1.1 port. The device supports both USB HID class vendor-defined MSR emulation and keyboard emulation, allowing software to receive card data either as raw track information or as simulated keystrokes without extra drivers.

Questions about this item
How do I install the MagTek 21040110 reader and what step is often missed?
Plug the included USB cable into any USB port; the device draws power from the bus so no external supply is needed. The step people miss is confirming the OS has loaded the HID keyboard-emulation driver before the first swipe.
What maintenance or replacement will the MagTek 21040110 need later?
The magnetic head is rated for 1,000,000 passes with ISO-conforming cards; after that the head should be replaced to maintain reliable reads.
What limit appears first during sustained heavy use of the MagTek 21040110?
The head life of 1,000,000 passes is reached well before the electronics MTBF of 125,000 hours, so head wear is the first limit under continuous swiping.
