Scan Corporation 5133 OCR Scanner, PS/2 Combo
Keyboard Wedge Cable and US Power Supply.
Overview
The 5133 OCR Reader is among the most
versatile data entry tools available. As a low-cost alternative to keyboard data
entry, this OCR character reader helps avoid payment processing delays, data entry
errors, and repetitive stress injuries. This all-in-one unit has the ability to
quickly scan characters, bar codes and
magnetic stripe cards with the optional magnetic stripe reader added to the
second slot.
With simple keyboard wedge interfacing,
over-the-counter or back room remittance scanning can now be done with no
changes to the host computer hardware or software. Processing is done inside the
unit, allowing it to connect in-line with an existing keyboard and to send
keystrokes along with hand-typed data. The readers can be programmed to emulate
the operator keystrokes necessary to flow data into any application.
