Purpose-built check scanner for retail POS

The MagTek 22551001 MICRSafe is a new single-feed check scanner designed for countertop point-of-sale use. It reads E13B and CMC7 MICR fonts in one pass and includes an integrated three-track SCRA magstripe reader for credit, debit and ID cards. The unit connects through HID USB and comes with the required USB cable and 12 VDC power supply.

Encryption at the point of swipe

The defining specification is on-device encryption via the MagneSafe Security Architecture, which protects card data the moment it is read and is designed to exceed PCI requirements. This makes the scanner suitable for environments that mandate end-to-end encryption for every transaction.

Single-feed throughput with a million-pass head

The scanner handles one document at a time and the MICR head is rated for 1000000 passes, giving years of daily retail volume before service is needed. It does not support duplex scanning or batch feeding, so high-volume back-office remittance processing would require a different class of device.

Questions about this item

How does the 1,000,000-pass head duty cycle translate to daily use?

The MICR head is rated for one million document passes, so even at several hundred checks a day it will last multiple years before wear becomes a concern.

What does the HID USB interface mean for my POS system?

HID USB lets the scanner act like a keyboard, sending encrypted MICR and three-track magstripe data directly into any application without extra drivers.

Will the 4.25 by 4.00 by 6.25-inch footprint fit on a crowded counter?

At just over four inches wide and deep, the unit sits in a small square; the included 12 VDC power brick and USB cable are the only extra items needing space.
