IDTech EconoWriter

Full-Featured Magnetic Stripe Reader-Write

Precision Writing on Lo-Co MagStripe Cards

ID TECH EconoWriterTM encodes, reads, and verifies three tracks of MagStripe data in a single swipe. A high resolution tachometer precisely locates encoding; the encoding quality exceeds ISO 7811 standards for new cards. Data density is selectable to 75 or 210 BPI for any track with low coercivity writing operation. An LED provides operation status.

Heavy Duty and Long Life Construction

Full-length guides and a deep card slot ensure accurate card alignment and registration. The low force design of EconoWriter ensures a smooth and easy card swipe which provides an operating life for more than 1,000,000 card swipes. The overall chassis length provides stability during reading and writing operations.

WorkShopTM PC Software

WorkshopTM is ID TECH's Windows based PC software utility. It includes all standard and many custom options for reading and writing to a MagStripe low coercivity card. A single window shows the reading and writing format selections for each track. Default selections are available for simple and correct set-ups when encoding ISO, AAMVA or other formats. Database and file operations are supported. Convenient features such as track erasing, card data comparisons, and sequential data writing are included. The EconoWriter communicates via an RS-232 or a USB-RS232 serial COM port interface.
