The Omni reader was originally designed for the demanding Access Control and Time & Attendance markets which makes it the perfect choice for Visitor Management. Its die cast metal base, stainless steel wear plate, and impact-resistant housing make Omni ideal for the growing market of self-service and unattended applications. The Omni reads up to three tracks of magnetic information with a single swipe in either direction. Omni reads most bar code technologies; both visible and infrared bar code data and/or MagStipe data, both in a single swipe. It has a beeper and three-color LED indicator to signal a successful read. The reader is programmable so that the data format and intelligent interface output can be programmed & configured to match application communication requirements.
