USB Card Enrollment Reader for Time Attendance

The ZKTECO CR10E and CR10M models are USB desktop readers designed to enroll 125 kHz EM ID cards and 13.56 MHz MF IC cards into time-attendance systems. They connect directly to a host PC via USB and output the card serial number for registration. The devices suit administrators who need a simple way to register proximity credentials at a reception desk or back office.

Plastic Housing with 15 cm Read Range

The unit is built from RoHS-compliant plastic measuring 140 x 100 x 30 mm and weighing 130 g, so it sits stably on a counter without a separate mount. Power is drawn from the USB connection at 12 V DC up to 60 mA, eliminating an external adapter. Cards are read from contact up to 15 cm away in zero to sixty degrees Celsius, covering typical indoor reception environments.

No Additional Accessories or Software Included

The package contains only the reader itself; no cables, mounting brackets or configuration utilities are supplied. Integration relies on the host application already supporting USB HID or virtual COM input for the serial number stream. Buyers who need a bundled software suite, a physical mounting kit or a longer cable will have to source those separately.

Questions about this item

Does the USB 1.1 or 2.0 interface limit how fast the CR10E can send card serial numbers to the PC?

The reader uses a standard USB connection that supplies DC 12V at up to 60mA; serial-number data transfers well within the bandwidth of USB 1.1 or 2.0 ports.

What desk space and orientation does the 140 x 100 x 30 mm CR10M need for reliable reads?

The plastic housing measures 140 mm long, 100 mm wide and 30 mm deep; allow a flat area of at least that footprint plus clearance for cards to approach within 15 cm of the antenna face.

Which driver or software step is required before the CR10E will output a card’s serial number over USB?

Install the vendor-supplied driver so the device appears as a virtual COM port, then configure the attendance application to read from that port — skipping the driver install is the common reason the reader stays silent.
