Product description from manufacturer

The Model 2800 USB bar code and magnetic stripe reader combines features found in a variety of readers into one compact, easy to use system. The M2800's USB interface functions as a USB HID keyboard emulator, and will appear on the connected PC as an HID keyboard device. No custom USB drivers are required, as all USB HID drivers are included with Microsoft Windows. Input data is sent to the PC as though it was typed in directly from the keyboard. The M2800 accepts a wide variety of input devices such as laser, CCD, wand, magnetic stripe reader, slot reader, and RS-232 serial input. The RS232 interface is mainly used as an input, but resembles a serial port found on a standard PC. The RS232 port is meant to connect serial input devices using a null-modem cable. The M2800 functions well as an RS232 serial to keyboard converter. Custom bar code decoding algorithms are used, imbuing the M2800 with the ability to read the most poorly printed barcodes, even ones not typically readable by other systems. The M2800 is capable of reading EAN, UPC, and all RSS symbologies and so is compliant with Global Tracking Identification Number (GTIN) requirements. The magnetic card reader performance exceeds that of the typical reader, supporting bi-directional swipes, and is tolerant of either very rapid or extremely slow swipes. The M2800 system is pre-configured to meet the needs of most users, but you may customize the M2800 to your individual application by changing the default settings using the M2800 setup menu barcode sheet. Robust construction, ease of use, and the quality of features make the Model 2800 an ideal data collection device for retail, industrial, or any data tracking application. The QuickScan 6000 is designed specifically for retail point of sale and features an unprecedented combination of superior performance and rugged design at an affordable price. The QS6000's rubber overmold protects against shock and prolongs the life and performance of your scanner.
