3.3 Magnetic Card Emulator Coil Interface
The reader uses the MSR coil interface to emulate magnetic card signals to
the POS terminal’s magnetic reader head. The POS terminal sees this data
as standard track data read off the cards magnetic stripe. The coil insert unit
is very thin allowing parallel use of standard magnetic stripe cards.
The advantage of this interface option is that it is a plug and play add on to
any existing POS systems supporting magnetic stripe cards and requires no
integration effort.
